[seek-kr-sms] running growl from CVS

Fri Feb 25 16:55:16 PST 2005

OK I shall create   jar as soon as I get stable version with graphic
filters. I will be refreshing jar with each stable buld.

Maintaining Ant file on the other hand is about as easy and pleasurable
as manual maintaining of configure file for a large C++ project. One
tends to always forget adding newly created *.h and *.cc files to
configure ( so I always wanted to use IDEs as KDeveloper or Anjuta that
relieve me from maintaining configure files ). Thanks to Eclipse and
Netbeans  Ant became completely unnecessary for java developers, users
and testers on the other hand normally do not need to recompile java
code for their specific platform, so neither they    need a tool ala
"configure" if jar is provided.

Having said so, I will create Ant file for GrOWL if there is at least
one developer who would make use of it or if there is at least one
tester who would prefer Ant file to jar. Please let me know...

I think an Ant build file could peacefully coexist with the Eclipse
project and wouldn't be so hard to set up, right? And yes, I also think
executable jars (at least for the editor) should be in cvs.

For those of us who like to do it the old-fashioned way; perhaps you 
could stick a new GrowlEditor.jar file somewhere (e.g., in cvs) that we 
could just run without having to compile, etc.

thanks,
