Re: [Mailsomething-devl] CVS repository

[stig <st...@eu...>]

Ah whoops

Think I send my mail the same time...

Yes I aggree.

All bad things in cvs is due to unexperienced developers/cvsusers. When I
started this project Eclipse didnt exists and I used a linuxshell for cvs.

Maybe we can create those root folders u mention, but use 'source' instead
of src, since using src will collapse with the old structure. Or, we can
create a root folder like 'mailsomething' and have those under it
src
lib
build.xml

If you think its 'to much pain in the ass' to refactor it I can do it (if I
can get my cvs to work). Lets aggree on a structure first.

Stig

ps. I had much 'fun' with those .classpath .project myself after louise had
committed them. hehe
