[SDM-SPA] Re: [kepler-dev] moving edu.ncsu to org.sdm.spa

Xiaowen,

I would suggest we do the clean up (other than this
directory)slower and wait until everybody digests
Zhengang's changes first.(e.g. I'm waiting to check
in my kepler/lib clean up/changes due to this morning's
updates.) But we need to clean this directory.

I checked again and don't have any files to remove from
the src directory right now as I cleaned it recently.
Also, the rule in general is not to delete/move any files
from the kepler cvs unless they are yours or the owner
of the file asks you to do so. (Or maybe that's the way
I assume it. ;)

As I have told in a previous email, gui and cipres are
directories related to my "experimental at the time" work
and are associated with some test workflows. They are
under subdirectories so please don't remove them or include
them in the SPA release until I go back and make them useful.
I will remove the cipres directory after I get the command
line fully functioning.
WebServiceUsingWSIF.java was removed from NCSU CVS last
week for the same reason as well. CommandLine actor is
in the making and not ready for checking in to the SPA
repository as it is not finalized for release. I will
check in this file and any coming development myself to
the SPA cvs when it is ready. Hope this would make it
easier for you to see which file to include in SPA cvs.

I don't see the .bak and .orig files you have mentioned
in the repository.

ClustalW_SDSC.java is the original version of ClustalW site
wrapper that is published as a web service. I don't see any
use of it to be there right now. Must ask Zhengang if he
needs it.

The other files that were mentioned came from directory
that was merged today. The directory looks quite messy
right now but it is still new. Maybe Zhengang is still
working on it.

Zhengang: Could you please remove the old and unused files
when you can? The xml and read me and versions of the
WebService related actors seem old.

Hi Zhengang,

Thanks for moving the files into org.sdm.spa.

I'm looking at everything in there now.

Since we're doing this reorganization, now is probably the best time to
clean it up as well, so we're perfectly happy with it.  It would also
make sync'ing between them a lot easier for me =)

There are a couple of questions I have about files in there, maybe you
can Ilkay can help me answer them.

1.  There are quite a few files that I didn't put into the NCSU CVS
repository.  Can you tell me whether they should go in there?

	- the cipres/ directory
	- the gui/ directory
	- bioservice.xml
	- bio.xml
	- CommandLine.java
	- DDBJ_DDBJ.xml
	- DDBJ_GetEntry.xml
	- DDBJ.xml
	- DDBJXML.dtd
	- DummyActor.java
	- README
	- spa.xml
	- WebServiceActor4.java
	- WebService.java.bak
	- WebServiceUsingWSIF.java
	- XSLTActor.java.orig

Ilkay, you've said that cipres/ and gui/ are test directories, do you
think it's ok to delete them from Kepler as well?

As far as I can tell, all the xml files listed (besides spa.xml) weren't
actually being used.  Is it left over from something before?  If that's
the case, is it ok with you guys if I delete them?

Ilkay, should I add CommandLine.java to the NCSU repository now?

Is the DummyActor.java being used?  If not, would it be ok to delete it?

README looks a bit out of date.  Is it still relevant?  Since I'm trying
to draft a developers' manual, could you tell me which parts I need to
include?

WebServiceActor4.java, WebService.java.bak, XSLTActor.java.orig look
like temporary files, would it be ok with you if I deleted them?

Ilkay, should I add WebServiceUsingWSIF.java to NCSU's CVS repository?

2.  There exist ClustalW.java and ClustalW_SDSC.java.  It looks like PIW
currently uses a web service hosted at NCSU to do the clustal step, so I
don't think either of these files are being used.  I think the names are
confusing because they don't differentiate between the two of them other
than to say one comes from SDSC.  Since they're not being used, should
we just delete both?  If not, maybe we could remove one of them, so it
doesn't look redundant.

Please tell me what you think =)

Thanks,
Xiaowen
