I have three suggestions that will make working with JMeter's build
less painful for users.
1) Can we remove the following line from build.xml:
<property name="build.compiler" value="classic"/>
This causes the build to fail on newer JVMs like JDK 1.3
and JDK 1.4 where the "classic" compiler is no longer available.
By not specifying it, we can let Ant do the hard work of
determining the correct compiler. Besides, if I wanted to
use Jikes instead, I would do the following:
./build.sh -Dbuild.compiler=jikes all
2) Can we have a parameter to specify whether to use
optimization?
<property name="optimize" value="on"/>
<!-- ..... Skip to compilation -->
<javac optimize="{optimize}" ..... />
That way I can turn it off for debugging with a simple
parameter:
./build.sh -Doptimize=off all
3) Lastly, can we have a target to build printer friendly docs?
The "./xdocs/stylesheets/site_printable.vsl" file already
exists, and it is better to generate the printable docs than
to change the build file, and then get a bunch of CVS conflicts
the next time we do a CVS update.
