Re: [vuml] cvs repository structure

[John R. <sd...@ya...>]

Hi,

Sorry for the tardy reply.  As I said before, I'm new to Eclipse so I 
really have no idea how a project should be structured.  I was basing my 
comments on 2 datums:

1).  The cvs structure used by uDig.
2).  Some error messages I was getting while trying to figure out how to 
launch vuml from within the workspace.  I am now unable to reproduce 
these (so I was obviously doing something stupid).

It is possible to just commit a sub-directory of a module using cvs.  
 From the cvs man page: "If  you  don't  specify  particular files to 
commit, all of the files in your working current directory are 
examined.  commit is careful to change in the repository only those 
files that you have really changed.  By default (or if you explicitly 
specify the -R option), files in subdirectories are also examined and 
committed if they have changed; you can use the -l option to limit 
commit to the current directory only."

I would still be inclined to separate the source directories into their 
own module (I'm a big fan of separating code, data and documentation), 
ending up with a structure like:

--vuml---org.vuml
|      |-org.vuml-feature
|      |-org.vuml.core
|      |-org.vuml.editor
|      |-org.vuml.uml2.diagram.activity
|      |-org.vuml.uml2.diagram.class
|      |-org.vuml.views
|      |-org.vuml.wizards
|
|-documentation---programmers_manual
|               |-users_guide
|
|-tutorials---gettingstarted
|           |-more tutorials here ;-)
|
|-update-site


What do you think?

Best regards,
John
