[java-gnome-hackers] Misc things

[RUBIOJR <RU...@te...>]

Hi folks.

I've the vte bindings ready to be commited. Although they need much 
more work, they are fully usable now.

Before I commit the code I want to modify the build.xml and the make 
stuff so the bindings can be compiled correctly. I've already added 
things to the build.xml to compile the vte java classes. The new 
targets are build-vte and vte-jar. I also fixed some build.xml bugs 
which prevented ant from behaving properly. The java code was always 
compiled because ant searched the compiled classes in the wrong 
directory. The java classes were up to date, but ant compiled again al 
the code because it couldn't find the already compiled ones.

I'm now trying to fix the configure and make stuff, getting it ready to 
compile the vte part, but It's difficult for me. What do you think 
about making the build process for the native things independent from 
the java sources build process ? I mean, using make to build with gcc 
and after that, calling ant manually to build the java code. IMHO this 
would make the scripts easier and smaller and we could use the ant 
properties in the command line to switch between jikes, modern or gcj.

I need a piece of advice.

Thanks.
