Re: [DrJava] OS X Build in Ant

[Eric E. A. <eri...@ma...>]

Peter,

Brian is pretty much gone at this point. We shouldn't expect that he'll 
be doing any more work on the DrJava project. But ant is not hard to 
learn, so if you want to add a new target to build.xml, I encourage you 
to go ahead and learn how to do it yourself.

As a general rule of etiquette, if you want some feature added to Drjava 
or the build file, and you don't know how to do it yourself, you should 
ask someone who does know how to pair program with you. Don't ask them 
simply to implement it for you. For one thing, it's an imposition on 
their time. For another thing, it keeps knowledge locked up where it 
should be disseminated.

If you would like, I can pair program with you to add this target, but 
not until after May 10.
