[Wpg-proxy-development] project (re)structure

[Alan M. <a_j...@ya...>]

All,

I have made some reorganisation of the project
structure (the old stuff is still under version
control in case anyone thinks I've removed too much :)

First off you will need to install ivy
(http://incubator.apache.org/ivy/).  Ivy is a neat
depedency manager that retrieves JARs for you from the
internet (which it stores in a local cache in your
home directory, see ~/.ivy dir) and places copies into
your project lib directory - this means that we need
only cite which JARs are required (see ivy.xml) and it
does the rest (its uses well-known public repositories
to get the JARs for you.)  Since the JARs are cached
you can use ivy for all your other projects too
without having to download again.  See the website for
further marketing fluff.  I have added notes in
README.

To ensure Ant can work with Ivy you need to install
Ivy after downloading it and add the
~/.ivy/jars/ivy.jar to your CLASSPATH.  Then to see
ivy at work update your wpg-proxy project and issue
"ant libs" and your lib directory will be magically
filled - note that you do not need to check in these
JARs.  BTW to add a new JAR just reconfigure ivy.xml
and re-run the libs target. etc.

The new build.xml contains the usual targets with
"compile" (default) for our normal code and "test" for
unit test classes etc.  See ant -p for details.  Just
play around with the targets to see if I missed
anything.

I'll get back to the UML stuff now which is nearly
ready and have this checked in tomorrow.

Hope everything is understandable and the way we want
things - just let me know if there are any issues.

Thx,
A.
