please apologize my ignorance, what is the other side of the fence?
is it something similar to maven or "nothing" (meaning the normal
suspects: ant, etc...?
Yeah, I'm perfectly satisfied with ant and with no need to mess up with
that huge beast that maven is. I have a strong opinion on software
tools: they don't deserve more than two hours of my time to get me
started (take ant: download, unzip, set ANT_HOME, rock 'n roll). Maven
took me days and still I haven't been able to build a single project,
go figure use it for my daily work. It's probably me being limited and
just unable to cope with it.
On another subject, is there any kind of high level documentation
to get acquainted with the current codebase (apart obviously from
the spec itself)? I'm not afraid of looking straight at the code, but
I sure ould use some generic overview. :)
there is obviously generic information on the concepts in the spec.
however, i think you are looking for some high-level documentation
on the actual implementation... would that be something like a number
"package.html" combined with an archicture drawing of the actual
implementation?
if "yes", then i am afraid that does not exist yet, i will try do come
up
with something, but feel free to take notes while you go through code
;)
I knew I shouldn't have asked that question. :-)
