Re: [Repast-interest] Repast XML naming conventions

[Dave Murray-R. <d.m...@ed...>]

I've run into this as well, using SVN with Eclipse. It's really hard work, especially as the SVN stuff can get very whingey about missing files when they've moved outside of Eclipse's control.

I've ended up not using displays a huge amount as a result (well, a combination of that and wanting to do things that were too hard with the standard setup).

I'm afraid I don't have any better advice! Unless you could maybe modify the source so it names them based on the unique display and/or dataset ids? But I can't remember if displays have unique ids.

Whenever a coder adds and checks in a new GUI Panel (e.g. a display), the naming of a subset of the existing XML files describing existing GUI panels (e.g. the charts).  This means that the code version software "loses" the association between what was, for instance, repast.simphony.chart.engine.DefaultXYChartOutputterDescriptor_10 and is now repast.simphony.chart.engine.DefaultXYChartOutputterDescriptor_11.

Sorry if the question isn't clear - it's a little hard to put into words.  If anyone thinks they might be able to help, I can provide screenshots etc offline to clarify.
