[Netjuke-devel] Major Codegen Changes In

[Blake W. <sb...@ne...>]

I've just created a new cut of the Netjuke code generator that 
addresses some design flaws in the old implementation. All generated 
NetjukeObject classes are now kept in the /objects sub-directory of the 
main tree and this directory is marked to be ignored by subversion. The 
generated classes are now more intelligent in their identification of 
the PHP data types the columns map to, as well miscellaneous other 
improvements. All custom code can be placed in the corresponding class 
generated inside the main classes/ sub-directory.

To begin working with the current sources, you'll have to run 
generate-classes.php after the initial bootstrap.php to fully configure 
your environment. Bootstrap.php will likely be changed to 
populate-libraries.php or something similar and a top level bootstrap 
script that initializes the libraries, installs the database 
interactively, and generates the object classes will be dropped in.

The only remaining issues for code generation is the automated 
generation of unit tests for all NetjukeObject derived classes and the 
eventual replacement of the online DB with an offline format -- likely 
the XML schema provided by adodb so we are less MySQL focused. This 
will be post beta1 issue, we're golden for now.
