Re: [xmlvm-users] OneJar and XMLVM

[Arno P. <ar...@pu...>]

during the build process, the ant-script builds up a verbatim version of 
the content of the OneJar (under xmlvm/build). Perhaps we can do a 
hybrid approach for now: it would be easy enough to add an "ant install" 
target that simply copies the content of xmlvm/build somewhere. Add a 
little shell script with the proper -classpath arguments and we have it 
both ways.

For example, if you run xmlvm with no command line arguments, there is a significant time before displaying the help text, in order to unzip the contents of the file. This is an obvious problem but I also thing there are other performance issues elsewhere.
