Replace BUILDING.txt with a simlified up-to-date BUILDING.html
--------------------------------------------------------------
Key: DERBY-3985
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-3985
Project: Derby
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Build tools
Affects Versions: 10.5.0.0
Reporter: Rick Hillegas
At this point, BUILDING.txt contains a number of mis-statements. It is
structured in a way which makes the Derby build look complicated and
intimidating. The build instructions need to be thoroughly overhauled and
divided into two main sections:
1) The simple build instructions for people who are new to the community. This
will be a build with few pre-requisites which just works out of the box.
2) Trickier build instructions for people who want compile-time checks for the
different platforms which Derby supports.
While we're at it, I suggest that the revised instructions live in an html file
rather than a flat text file. I think this will result in a document that is
more readable and easier to navigate.
