Hi Thomas, Tom, I personally do use eclipse, both with just project files and ant scripts. I have found that both have problems.
I don't believe that Tom would suggest using these project files as the sole means of building GNU Classpath, only as a means to start people off using Eclipse for development. One of the complaints commonly voiced by those wishing to join any OSS development project is the relatively high setup cost; this would make entry easier. With the possibility of starting to deal with the native code in GNU Classpath in Eclipse and with the associated navigation, refactoring tools and gdb makes Eclipse as a development tool - not sole build tool - a very attractive proposition. I use Eclipse for developing Odonata[1] and am very happy with it. If somebody wishes to put forward an ANT build.xml for inclusion into the GNU Classpath I would support them for the same reasons: they make starting to participate in the project easier. Thanks, Stephane [1] Odonata AWT peers, http://odonata.tangency.co.uk _______________________________________________ Classpath mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/classpath
