[jsword-devel] Still lost in source

[Joe Walker]

Excellent, thanks for trimming the jar files down, sorry I was a bit 
slow applying it. I've done the next step and moved all the mapper files 
to their own project entirely, called biblemapper. I've put the 
sword-api compile steps back in so that anyone using ant as their 
primary build tool will keep them up to date. They are still out of the 
jars though. Does this make sense?

I've not included some of the changes to use ${ant.project.name} changes 
for 2 reasons, firstly because the point of using the abstract version, 
was originally to make the build file more re-usable, but as soon as we 
start deciding how to cut things up, we are getting fairly un-reusable - 
so I value simplicity more. Also as we move to more separated projects, 
${ant.project.name} will change, and the jar file names won't make much 
sense then. Please shout if you disagree.
I've also named the jar targets jar.foo rather than foo.jar so they 
group together in alphabetical listings like the ant view in eclipse.

Do you know if the jar.notrequired property is a currently buggy because 
ant properties are immutable when set?

I've added the following:
    <j2se version="1.4+" max-heap-size="256m"/>
to the .jnlp file because I was getting the following error from the 
website:
    No JRE version found in launch file for this system

I also experimented with adding a DOCTYPE for a bit of validation, not 
sure if it will break anything...

I need to check what happens, but I think in effect the nightly build is 
not 'clean'. You are right in saying that 'clean' is in the ant build 
nightly targets, however we also pass in 
-Dtarget.web=/var/tomcat4/webapps/jsword so whilst the target directory 
is cleaned, the ${target.web} isn't.

Thanks,

Joe.
