Hello everyone, In order to try to revive Alexandria (which I believe is a truly excellent idea), I have started a new proposal that will merge all of Gump/AntGump/Alexandria's functionality into one large, ambitious proposal named Vindico. This proposal intends to replace Alexandria, ala the Rules for Revolutionaries.
Vindico uses Ant ala AntGump to build the list of projects using the descriptor format that Gump uses currently, with just some really minor modifications. I intend to merge anything missing in Alexandria's format into Gumps, and also functionality. I am also looking at adding a JXR type system by using JavaML (a patch to jikes to spit out XML from java source code located at http://javaml.sourceforge.net). JavaML is quite interesting from the ability to use standard tools in the XML world to be able to do code audits, metrics, and HTML formatting. So JXR, and then a master JavaDoc repository, with audits, metrics, lists of who uses what classes (Gump does project dependencies, but how do you know who uses the Digester ExtendedBaseRules?), some source code formatting possibly, basically the uber-developer site for searching/viewing/learning java source code. Want to jump in and help. Let me know. Currently Vindico just spits out a *lot* of log files which need to be massaged to some sort of usable format (HTML). There are also a lot of FIXME comments in the code. So dig right in, I am happy to have the help. Let me know what you think, Scott Sanders -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
