Colin, Hello everyone! Colin, thanks for getting me onboard and I look forward to contributing to this cool project! FYI, Colin and I have been discussing a build structure and possibly using the BuildMagic system that the JBOSS group uses, for simplification and ease of use. Colin, as it turns out from our last discussion, a lot of the work you've done in the CVS checkin of squirrel-sql can be easily ported to the buildmagic semantic. The BuildMagic tree structure adheres to the following semantic: modified files for project -------------------------- ./build.xml (obvious) ./project.xml (this is where all your project specific information is stored) buildmagic system files ----------------------- ./build.sh (script that uses the bundled ant lib instead of local ant) ./etc/buildmagic/common.xml (system tree structure defaults) ./etc/buildmagic/init.xml (system init defaults) source code info ---------------- ./src (source tree) ./src/main (main src tree) ./src/bin (executable scripts, batch files, etc) ./src/etc (config files required for compilation or release) external tools and lib ---------------------- ./thirdparty (thirdparty applications/libraries like ice, izPack, jdbc-drivers, etc.) ./tools (tools used for development testing such as junit, etc.) compile info ------------ ./output/build/classes (all files that are compiled from ./src/main ./output/build/lib (contains the jar file when ./build jar is used) release info ------------ ./output/build/release/<version>-squirrel-sql/ (common doc and info) ./output/build/release/<version>-squirrel-sql/bin (contains and executables) ./output/build/release/<version>-squirrel-sql/classes (compiled byte-code) ./output/build/release/<version>-squirrel-sql/api (java-doc files) ./output/build/release/<version>-squirrel-sql/lib (bundled squirrel.jar) Basically this will keep things in a logical and intuitive structure. When we do a release a structure similar to 'release info' will be provided, granted that ./output/build/release/<version>-squirrel-sql is the root of tree. This is the structure that BuildMagic uses which we use here at work. Does anybody have any questions or comments? -- </Patrick> pa...@la... |
