[Rails-devel] Changed setup of the rails repo

[Stefan F. <ste...@we...>]

Erik & Brett,

a quick test showed that it will take a little reconfiguration to get 
everything working. To make life easier for all, I suggest to compile a 
complete list of the items and possible solutions for them jointly in the top 
Rails directory. See below. 

Stefan

Complete list of the files/folders inside:

* folders:
classes
data
doc
html
images
lib
rails
tiles
tools

* files:
18xx.log
18xx_autosave.rails
AUTHORS
LICENSE
LocalisedText.properties
README
Rails-format.xml
build.xml
buildinfo.xml
log4j.properties
manifest
my.properties
rails.bat
rails.sh
user.profiles

For some files/folders I do not know exactly why they are created.

* Folder rails:
My preferred solution here is to create two directories src/ and unit/.

Then move the rails/ folder to src/ and over time mirror the directory 
structure of rails/ inside unit/ for unit tests.

I do not really favor to mirror the full java package names in the folder 
structure, but I can live with any outcome.

* Folder test:
I would like to keep the automated game tests (functional tests) under src/,
as they are not unit tests and TestGame and TestGameBuilder could in principle 
be tested themselves by unit tests. UI tests and automated tests of revenue 
calculations would find their place there too.
I do not know if the other classes inside test are used, otherwise I suggest 
removing them.

* File 18xx_autosave.rails
Gets created automatically from a running game as eclipse uses the folder as 
the current working directory.  Should be either ignored or in a working 
directory outside of the repository.

* File log4j.properties
Stores the part of my.properties that have to do with logging and were not 
replaced by the new profile mechanism. Should be stored inside the repo to be 
available at the start of Rails.

* File my.properties
Legacy file to set configurations. Now replaced by the new profil mechanism.
Can be removed.

* File user.profiles
Gets created automatically from a running Rails instance to store a map of 
profile names to the locations of the profile files for a user.
Same as 18xx_autosave.rails
