Re: [Javaxdelta-devel] Problem with javaxdelta &/or gdiffpatcher

[Heiko K. <hei...@me...>]

Hi Nick,

thanks for reporting the problem. I think it would be most useful if you
add your files and the problem to the sourceforge tracker
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=54817&atid=474943 (hope that
link works).

There is not a lot of continous development going on in javaxdelta, so I
don't think somebody will jump at it immediately. You should try to reduce
the scope or even find the bug. But if you don't manage, and when somebody
is updating javaxdelta at a later stage, it might be good to have a
critical case.

Best wishes,

Heiko
