[castor-dev] Code cleanup and Eclipse

[Joao Luis Pinto]

Dear all

I got the latest version of the code from CVS with Eclipse 
(http://www.eclipse.org), and noticed a few problems:

- File src/tools/ide/eclipse/classpath.template has not been updated to the 
latest versions of the distributed .jars . Namely, it lists adaptx_0.9.7.jar 
while adaptx_0.9.10.jar is distributed and includes both ant 1.4 and 1.5 
(?), while only 1.5 is distributed.

- The comment on top of the ant build.xml file is stale, since now ant 1.5 
is distributed.

- Should ant target "prepare-eclipse" depend on "prepare"? From the list of 
"prepare" actions, I see no one that matters for the use of Eclipse, while 
empty and useless (for Eclipse) "build", "classes", "dist" and "schema" 
folders are created. Couldn't this dependency be dropped?

- Compiling all the classes in Eclipse (using the Eclipse builder, not ant) 
returns around 3000 warnings, between unused imports, wrong javadoc tags, 
deprecations and all. I'm volunteering to help on the cleanup (minus 
deprecations), so I would like to know if you're interested, and if so how 
do you want me to submit the "cleaned" code. What is required for CVS commit 
access?

- Are there any coding conventions on the project? If so, perhaps a Code 
Formatting settings file could be destributed in the eclipse help folder 
(usable from current Eclipse 3.0M7).

Any thoughts?

Jo�o Luis
