---------------------------------
Attachment: derby-3985-01-aa-simplerBuildInstructions.diff
Attaching derby-3985-01-aa-simplerBuildInstructions.diff. This replaces
BUILDING.txt with a web page, BUILDING.html, which contains simplified
instructions for building Derby. Note that this patch should not be committed
until DERBY-3984 is done.
Touches the following files:
A BUILDING.html
D BUILDING.txt
Replaces BUILDING.txt with BUILDING.html.
M java/build/org/apache/derbyPreBuild/PropertySetter.java
M
java/testing/org/apache/derbyTesting/functionTests/tests/jdbc4/README.html
M
java/testing/org/apache/derbyTesting/functionTests/tests/junitTests/compatibility/testScript.xml
Replaces references to BUILDING.txt with references to BUILDING.html.
> Replace BUILDING.txt with a simlified up-to-date BUILDING.html

> 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.
