[Hecl-devel] Updated repository for Hecl

[Wolfgang S. K. <wol...@da...>]

Hello everybody,

I have uploaded a couple of changes (see summary below). Any comments
and corrections are very welcome. Please note especially the changes
made to the printed representation of hashtables and let me know about
any objections.

The build process has gundergone a major overhaul and should be tested
in various environments for various targets. The build result is now
placed in platform-specific subdirectories underneath .../hecl/build.

I think we should move the prebuild jar files into a separate directory
in the repository (maybe 'prebuild') and modify build.xml appropriatly.
We also need to update INSTALL.

Due to lack of time and knowledge, I was not able to check heclbuilder
and someother targets, so I need to leave it for the community for now
and postpone that for now.
Updating javadoc is a task I did not want to touch for the moment. Maybe
somebody else has some time left for this.

There are some other upcoming changes, especially a more flexible http
interface that allows to post query data, additional header fields (i.e
cookies, session ids,...) and supports encoding-sets and charsets (for
both mobile and desktop).


-------------Summary of changes -------------

	* tests/hash.hcl: Modified hashtable test to check behavior of
	join with hashtable as argument. The former test check the printed
	representation.
	
	* build.xml: Modified build process, added more properties,
	simplified jar file generation. j2me versions robust now, applet
	target should be checked by somebody else.
	Bumped midlet version number to 1.1.

	* core/org/hecl/Interp.java: setResult(boolean) now uses
	well-known static IntThings to create the result.

	* core/org/hecl/HashCmds.java (http): Added new commands
	hkeys, hclear, hremove. Simplified code.

	* core/org/hecl/Ensemble.java: Added newline at end of file to
	avoid complaints of scn/diff.

	* core/org/hecl/InterpCmds.java:
	* core/org/hecl/IntegralThing.java:
	* core/org/hecl/ControlCmds.java:
	* core/org/hecl/ListCmds.java:
	* core/org/hecl/NumberThing.java:
	* core/org/hecl/StringCmds.java: Beautification.

	* core/org/hecl/HashThing.java: Experimental new representation as
	string. Properly working converion to list, passes tests.

	* core/org/hecl/ListThing.java: Experimental new implementation of get.

	* core/org/hecl/MathCmds.java: Enhancements, get rid of some
	unnecessary classes.

	* core/org/hecl/ControlCmds.java (http): Made constructor protected.
