RE: [jgrapht-developers] JGraphT backport

[Barak N. <bar...@us...>]

Come to think of it, maybe it would be useful to extend the idea and =
instead
of having 'customBuild.properties', we can have 'build.properties'.  =
Such a
file might help with all kinds of custom of builds (release, =
cvstag,...),
present and future.

The build.properties could have the form of commented sections, one =
section
for each alternative build (such as retro).  When someone wants to build =
a
retro, he just uncomments the params in the retro section and fills in =
the
paths according to the documented instruction within the =
'build.properties'.
In such a way, custom builds can be relatively simple.  Of course, the =
file
in its distributed form should contain only comments, so that a casual =
"ant
all" on the distribution doesn't do funny things...


A little naming suggestion:

> retro.jre.dir=3D/path/to/jre1.4

Since the only JREs supported here are 1.4*, I think a variable name =
such as
'jre1_4.dir' or 'jre1.4.dir' will be more self-explanatory.=20
