I think I have the form of the file names correct in build.properties,
and I have eliminated spaces from the apache paths:
river.home=C:/apache/river/jtsk/trunk
jtreg.home=C:/apache/jtreg
jdk1.5.home="C:/Program Files (x86)/Java/jdk1.5.0_22"
The build claims to be successful, but I when I try "ant qa.run", I
get a lot of error messages of the form:
[java] QAConfig.getComponentFile FINEST: failed existance check
on com\sun\jini\qa\resources\qaDefaults.properties
[java] QAConfig.loadProperties FINEST: loaded properties:
file:/C:/apache/river/jtsk/trunk/qa/src/com/sun/jini/qa/resources/qaDefaults.properties
This is very strange, because the URL is perfectly valid. When I paste
it into Firefox, I get what looks like a properties file.
Any idea what is doing the existence check, and why it is unhappy?
Yes, it tries to load property files from multiple locations, finally it
will try to load from the jar file if the local file paths are
exhausted. In your case it was successfully found.
Thanks,

I must admit I haven't tried developing River on Windows, this should
assist us to grow our developer appeal. Recently the qa test suite was
changed from make build scripts to ant, I wonder if there are some
platform specific artifacts.
Has anyone else on the list tried the qa tests on Window's recently? It
was tested on that platform by the Sun developers, but with the make
file scripts I believe.

I'm a programmer who would like to help with River. There does not
seem to be any one stop shop for the information I need to actually
start writing and presenting changes in the code. Currently, I'm
working on getting the qa tests to run on my home computer. This is,
for me, a far harder task than thinking up efficient algorithms and
data structures or writing Java.
I'm using a Windows XP box with Cygwin. I suspect I would be having an
easier time if I had a Solaris or Linux system.
For the benefit of any future volunteers, it would be useful to create
a "New Developer" Wiki page that I can edit with any tips I pick up
from river-dev or work out myself, as well as useful links with up to
date information.
Could someone with the right permissions create a page for me?
Thanks,
Patricia
