Re: [Jsdsi-devel] JSDSI plans

[Sean R. <sra...@ae...>]

Hiya,

Just a quick reply to the first part of Sameer's message (regarding
Eclipse) as I've got to run off for the weekend...

1. I love Eclipse - been using it for about 2 years now.
2. I love Maven - been using it for about 2.5 years.
3. I use Maven for managing and doing all the automated builds for my
project and normally use the Maven Eclipse Plugin to (re)create the
Eclipse project as needed.

So I guess what I am saying is that Maven and Eclipse can work very well
together.

And I'm happy to port it all into that structure if you guys like.


Regards,

Sean

P.S. I agree that the parsing stuff needs improving. Just need time
myself to look into it - will look at the projects you have suggested
Sameer early next week.
