Hi Glen, Ken specifically and All --
I'm trying to move the package for the RecordGenerator and come up with
some kind of generic record generation system. In doing this I
discovered the record-generator is no longer a target in the build
*gasp*. I discovered its declaration is in a directory called
tools/targets/deprecated/dev.xtarget or something to that effect.
I copied the target for generate-records from there and recompiled the
sucker and tried running it and I got some XML errors. So I copied
tools/centipede/lib/x* into lib/common and ran it again.. I got farther
but still no dice:
Buildfile: build.xml
init:

BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 5 seconds
questions:
What other dependency am I missing? Ken, can we come up with a system
of updating to the latest centipede w/o having to edit our project
specific targets? That seems like something that would help centipede
as well. Next, anyone opposed to a lib/dev or something that will let
us put "dev" package dependencies in it?
Lastly, I think dev packages should be distributed with the source if
they are not already. It is presumed that you are interested in POI
development or at least an advanced user that might benefit from POI
development tools if you've got the source.
As always, thanks!
