Martin, I have had problems with Apache source builds because there is nothing in that case to convert line feeds. The source builds only work for debuggin if you are running Unix or OS/400. Many, but not all CVS clients deal with line ends. Another special case where line ends present a problem is when your cvs source (not repository) resides on another file system. I have added targets to the build files that facilitate fixing line feeds and setting up debug jar files for Eclipse.
Thanks, David Morris >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 01/08/03 21:02 PM >>> CVS takes care of line end conversions, so yes, there is a "right" line end. The Apache repository is on a *nix box, so the line ends on that system are *nix line ends. When I check out on to a Windows box, my CVS client takes care of presenting me with Windows line ends (as long as the file is not flagged as binary), and then when I check back in, the result is changed to the *nix file, with *nix line ends. Bad line ends in a CVS text file, as with the files you pointed out, are generally caused by bad (or incorrectly configured) CVS clients. Note that I threw this bug report over the fence to Jakarta Commons, since that is where BeanUtils lives now. It'll be fixed before Struts 1.1 Final is released, and probably much sooner. -- Martin Cooper On Wed, 8 Jan 2003, David Morris wrote: > I added a similar comment to the bugzilla site, but > it never seemed to work so I am responding here. > > I don't know if there is a "right" line end.
