Hi Lifters, How would you feel about renaming .scala files to match the main class/trait in them?
Let me give you a few examples, lift/src/main/scala/net/liftweb/http/auth/Authentication.scala currently holds a trait named HttpAuthentication. I'd like to rename it HttpAuthentication.scala lift/src/main/scala/net/liftweb/http/Stateful.scala currently holds the StatefulSnippet trait, so I'd like to rename it StatefulSnippet.scala lift/src/main/scala/net/liftweb/http/Vars.scala contains many things but the main class is AnyVar so I'd like to rename it AnyVar.scala and so on... There are two reasons I'd like to make these changes. First, I think it's a good convention and it makes it easier to locate some of the main classes more easily (my Java roots are showing) and second, which is much more selfish at this point, is that Buildr does recompilation checks based on file timestamps and the existence of a corresponding .class file in the target directory and so it would help Buildr avoid recompiling everything all the time even though nothing has really changed. (I do realize practically nobody besides me uses Buildr in the Lift community at this point but I do intend to demonstrate that it's a great alternative to Maven. And no, I'm not trying to replace or eradicate Maven, I'm just trying to make my own life simpler and share the results. I also realize that it's likely scalac will have better recompilation detection in the future that may make the second reason for this request irrelevant, although I think the first reason is sufficient) What do you think? alex --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Lift" group.
