>Has anyone read through the archive of the 18xx-softdev yahoo list? I haven't yet, mostly due to time constraints this week, but it's on my= todo list. >Separately, I took a quick browse in the CVS repository, and see that no >thought yet has gone into proper package structuring and the overall >namespace to be used. These are important factors in any Java project, >even more so when the development is collaborative and deployment public. >It is also considered bad form to check .class files into a CVS >repository: a jar of a specific release cut is fine, but individual >binaries are a bad thing. I blame my relative newness to CVS for this. I realized my mistake shortly after I had committed the initial files to the repository. I'm hoping to= reorganize things as soon as possible. > >Brett should also specify which version of the JDK the development >requires - are you intending to use Java 5, or will JDK1.4.x do? Only use >Java 5 if you want to use the new features, and then your policy for >accepting submissions should include use of the Java 5 features. > I'm expecting to stick to 1.4 for the time being. I haven't really looked at the new features in Java 5 yet, and I don't think it's being very widely= used just yet. ---Brett. |
