VT>paragraph 2.1  Usage

VT>paragraph 2.2  Source Generator Options
VT>- How to use the properties file? This stupid newbie didn't get it to work.
VT>  In the examples the name is also differned (I just saw, see also below)!

Tjeerd,

These are all great suggestions. I generally work more on the Castor JDO
side than I do on the Castor XML side. Some of the things that you've
eluded to in your messages reference the areas where Castor JDO and
Castor XML overlap. Hopefully Arnaud and/or Keith will see your comments
regarding Castor XML. I will do my best to use your suggestions for the
Castor JDO side.

Thanks again.

Bruce
