Re: [Rails-devel] How do I get the source?

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

Some more info about the Rails development setup is found here:
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/rails/index.php?title=Main_Page#Developer_Information

The xml-configuration files reside inside the Rails jar file which itself is 
part of the released zip-file.

On Linux the usual archive/zip-tools allow viewing/editing the jar-archives 
similar to zip-archives, I assume that is true for Windows/Mac too.
This allows testing changes of the xml-files without installing a full 
development setup. However java-files are not part of the release.
