[Cdk-devel] new build system

[Egon W. <eg...@us...>]

Hi all,

with the integration of the JChemPaint source code in the CDK tree, it was 
time to finish the build system I start quite some time ago... it allows 
better defined dependencies, and users to use just those CDK module jars that 
they need for their application while leaving out (large) jars they don't 
need.

The system I setup so far was difficult to maintain, and still did not allow 
for true clear dependency relationships. Friday I changed this, and the 
transition is taking place right now, and it will be finished this weekend

To compile a module you now do:

ant -Dmodule=X compile-module

where X is one of the following:

data
core
standard
interfaces
io
render
extra

The order is important. For example, standard depends on core, which depends 
on data (so standard depends on data too). This is depicted in the attached 
image.

Some modules are still broken, but this will be resolved today.

Egon
