[Gusdev-gusdev] default java compiling in GUS Build System

[Dave B. <db...@pc...>]

Folks,

I have changed the behavior of the GUS build system to compile java code 
by default.  Gone is the --compileJava flag that a few people might have 
been using before; all java compiling is now done for you.  

This will take effect next time you update your build.xml files.  To try 
it out:

1. % cd $PROJECT_HOME/install/

2. % cvs update (this will update build.xml and bin/build.pl)

3. % cd $PROJECT_HOME/GUS

4. % cvs update build.xml

If you are building the components GUS/ObjRelJ or GUS/WebDevKit, you need 
to have java libraries for those components that are now in cvs.  To get 
those:

1. % cd $PROJECT_HOME/GUS/ObjRelJ(or WebDevKit)

2. % cvs update -d (this will check out the 'lib' directory if you don't 
have it, and the necessary java libaries.)

then build as normal, without the --compileJava flag.

If you are a java developer, please make sure that your java code compiles 
before you check it into CVS, and that any external libraries your 
code depends upon (i.e., those that are not created by the build system, such as oracle or apache 
libraries) are checked into the proper place (the 'lib/java' 
directory for the appropriate component).

Please let me know if you experience any problems or have any questions 
about this new feature.

Dave
