Re: [Jempbox-developer] Where to put list of changes

[Ben L. <be...@be...>]

Hi Christopher,

Sorry for the delay in the response, holidays were a little crazy.

You want to update the website\status.xml

That document also lists developers, it is not shown anywhere yet, but 
you should add yourself at the top of the XML

Then under the <changes> section there is a <release>, eventually there 
will be multiple releases, we will always add to the top one.  Each time 
you make a change add a new <action> entry, make sure you set the 
context,dev,type attributes correctly.  This is a special forest file to 
generate the status.  This one is a little bare, but if you take a look 
at the one for PDFBox you will see a better example.

The actual website http://www.jempbox.org is generated from these XML 
documents twice a day at the same time the "Nightly Build" is generated, 
so to update the website all you have to do is make a change to the XML 
and check it into CVS and the website will reflect the change within a 
day.  This typically works very well, sometimes there are glitches; CVS 
is down or the build broke so the website didn't get regenerated.

The status.xml is seen on this page.

http://www.jempbox.org/changes.html

Oh and BTW, you already broke the nightly build ;)  Well sort of, you 
checked in some code that required JDK 1.5 to compile.  There are many 
users that need to stick with 1.4, so I would like JempBox to be built 
using 1.4 for the time being unless there is a reason that we need to 
use a 1.5 feature.  Below are the errors and it looks like those can 
easily be made "1.4 compatible"
