[Jflight-dev] Further developments

[<rue...@we...>]

Hi Tomas,

great. I have passed the sources to Guido to check it, and I will try too
until the weekend.
Unfortunately Guido did some changes too, so there will be some confusiuon.
So since we are working now with multiple developers on possibly the same
code we all need some rules for the future to avoid such situations. Here
are my suggestions:

Changes / new code:
- Minor changes and additions: Can be done without previous informations to
the others. Update the documentation afterwards.
- Major changes: Please specify what you want to do and synchronize with the
others before starting (I hope there is some feedback). This specification
and/or design-description will be used for the project documentation too. If
it is a feature visible to users please write it in a way that normal users
can understand, so we don't have to do the work twice. Guido maintains the
spec. New design-doc should be added to the "doc" directory.
I know that documentation is something every developer hates, but we really
need it if we want to work together efficiently.

CVS use:
- Please make sure that you work on the newest code: cvs update / cvs
update -d
- Commit as soon as possible if the code is stable and tested as decribed
below
- Eventually it is helpful to create a branch on the CVS-tree for major
changes and to merge the code later after some review.

Testing:
- Reference compilers are java 1.1.8 (a must) and 1.3.0 (if possible).
- Compiling should be done with "-deprecated" flag too. If there is some
deprecated code mark it in the source to show that this is intended /
required for compatibility.

Error-reporting: Use this simple standard-report scheme:

Environment: Java 1.1.8 / 1.3
JFlight version: (!)
Class(if possible):
Description:
Workaround:
Fixed: yes/

Any ideas about all that?

Tomas, which is the email-address to use for the jflight mailinglist?
When you go on, please keep my suggestions from the previous mail in mind
;-)
Please install CVS, if you haven't already done.

Regards
	Rüdiger

Hello !
I had some time today to try to rework the structure in JFlight. The focus
are laid on trying to free the GUI parts from important code... I have also
moved some of the classes that I suppose will be common to different GPS
devices... to jflight.common I suggest that we have all data access through
one class, so that migrating to a database solution some day just is a
matter of exchanging that class.

I have included a zip file with the files for you to check. If you like the
work, I would like to continue with the GUI/Framework parts.
