[Tockit-general] SVN move

[Peter B. <pe...@pe...>]

Hello all,

Sourceforge offers Subversion services now and since I much prefer 
Subversion over CVS I started to move both the ToscanaJ and Tockit 
projects straight away. This means the repository is now available via 
Subversion and to ensure that we don't do any unwanted forks I closed 
the CVS repositories. That happened under the assumption that there are 
no open changes out in any sandboxes -- if that should have been wrong, 
please contact me ASAP.

As a consequence to this move, the old cvslogs mailing lists are 
obsolete. I did not remove them since the archives could still be 
useful, but they will get no further messages. I couldn't figure out how 
to disallow subscription, but I changed the welcome message to inform 
new subscribers about the pointlessness of their endeavour. Not that I 
really expect anyone to read that message, but at least they got told :-)

The cvslogs mailing lists are now replaced with the option to read the 
commits on the CIA website (http://cia.navi.cx/) or via their RSS feeds. 
Check http://cia.navi.cx/stats/project/toscanaj and 
http://cia.navi.cx/stats/project/tockit to see the log messages and get 
the links for the RSS feeds.

The SVN projects are https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/toscanaj and 
https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/tockit -- both use the standard 
setup with the trunk/tags/branches folders underneath. Here are 
recommended SVN checkout commands for the various tools:

  ToscanaJ: svn co https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/toscanaj/trunk 
toscanaj
  Tupleware: svn co https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/toscanaj/trunk 
tupleware
  Docco: svn co 
https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/tockit/trunk/java/applications docco
  Crepe: svn co 
https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/tockit/trunk/java/applications crepe
  Tockit libs: svn co 
https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/tockit/trunk/java libraries

I will support Ant and Eclipse as build tools from now on and changed 
the setup so everything can be just checked out into Eclipse without any 
major setup hassles, i.e. each of the above checkouts will create an 
Eclipse project folder including the .project and .classpath files, plus 
maybe other Eclipse-specific setup.

If you want to use Eclipse you are best of using Subclipse to check out 
the projects. Just get a 3.x Eclipse release and follow these 
instructions to install Subclipse: http://subclipse.tigris.org/install.html

Once you installed Subclipse, go into the SVN Repository Exploring 
perspective as shown at the bottom, right click into the SVN Repository 
view (should be on the left) and select "New->Repository location...". I 
recommend adding only the two toplevel URLs, stopping just before the 
"/trunk" bit. After you added the locations, you can open the trees and 
find the rest of the paths there.

To check out a project, just right click on the matching folder, say 
"Checkout..." and hit "Finish" -- the default options should be all 
good. A folder is right if it contains the ".project" and ".classpath" 
files. To find it you basically go through all the missing bits of the 
URLs above, e.g. Docco would be trunk/java/applications/docco in the 
https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/tockit location.

Once the checkout is through, Eclipse should automatically build the 
program. To run the tools you just need to find the main Java files 
(typically in the topmost package, e.g. net.sourceforge.toscanaj or 
org.tockit.docco), right-click that file in the Package Explorer (back 
in the Java perspective) and select "Run As->Java Application". That 
should be all it takes.

Cheers,
  Peter
