No, I will never do copy / past / build / test / etc. JLCA, scripts that I wrote, and deltas are my best friends for porting (free time is not). -- George -----Original Message----- From: Matt Honeycutt [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, October 07, 2009 10:09 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Port of Java Lucene 2.9 is under way This may be an ignorant question, but what does the porting process involve? My limited experience with porting Java to .NET was porting the Weka COBWEB clustering algorithm. My approach there was very brute-force, copy-paste, fix errors, build-and-test, and repeat. I hope there's a better way of doing things when dealing with a large port like this. :) On Wed, Oct 7, 2009 at 9:02 PM, George Aroush <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm working on it.
