[Tapper-develop] Tapper_01d.zip

[Greg B. <gbr...@ho...>]

Tapper version 01D is now available on the file releases section of sourceforge.
There is a link on the source code page of the Tapper web page that will take you
there directly.

We have a new target in our ant build.xml file called "jar" simply type:

ant jar

and you'll build tapper.jar To run this file cd to the jar directory and type:

java -jar tapper.jar

Remember, if you make changes in the source tree those changes won't show up in
the jar until you run "ant jar" again.  I would suggest using "java
com.gregb.tapper.Tapper" while testing to make sure you're running from the lib
tree.  When you're done developing for the day then run ant jar to have a nice
tight single file.

In this release there's not that much new.  We have a GridColors class to hold
all the colors in the display grid (which I havn't written yet) and there is a
User/Color Setup menu item now.  Also, the basic tabbed frame is mocked up.

Sean, we need to talk about how we're going to build that GridDisplay.  Rex is
going to work on the color dialog box.  We also have a new developer who is not
only a Java certified programmer but is also a Stick Player.

Welcome Wayne Wylupski !

Wayne and I talked about having him work on the "Build new Chord/Scale" dialog
box.

GOALS:  This week I'm going to try to setup a CVS tree on sourceforge.  If I get
this done then I'll let everyone know and I'll write a set of instructions on how
to set up jCVS to link to the CVS tree securly.  This way everyone will have
access to the latest source code.

Thanks everyone.  I have a feeling things are really going to start happening
soon.  Me?  I have to spend all day painting (Still painting, when will it be
done!!??)  Actually, I think I will be done house painting today, so I can start
working on Tapper again.

However, I also just took on a pretty big consulting job for a company that is
doing some pretty amazing things with java in embedded systems.  Can't say
anything else about it other than it's cool.  So I'm a busy guy, but I'm not
going to let this project die,  I'll certainly continue writing code. (heck I
couldn't sleep last night so I wrote code a 1:00 am until I was tired).

In the mean time.  Could everyone e-mail me their sourceforge user names soI can
add you to the developer's list?  Thanks:

Thanks guys.
