Hello Ocke,
In your earlier email you mentioned volunteering. Possibly rhetorical
to a certain degree. However, given two facts and two opinions it
strikes me that I should not treat it as such.
Facts are - the effort to setup a build environment for the full OOo
packge and the information I have read about the time it takes to run
on most PCs has lead me to avoid doing so - quite successfully I might
add.
I know that building the OOo takes some time, but doesn't exist there
developer builds for it?
I don't know which platform you are using.
Opinion one - I can't see actually trying to do any maintenance on
code, that has to be added into a larger base particularly, when I am
not willing to test it - so no build environment, no way to test.
Most Java tests can be run when you are using netbeans. The project you
are looking for might be qatest
Fact two - I do have all the tools up and running to compile the
report.jar file from these sources now. So that is the end of my easy
out excuse that I am not setup to help.
:-)
Opinion two - The report wizard has a place and the real developers
are better utilized working with the new report designer.
So - My first question is very general.
I will be using JDK 1.0.6 and NetBeans 5.5 to build the report.jar file.
Would you think it reasonable to only be building this one file with
these tools before offering any code changes, from a testing
perspective? Or would you think it really needs to be a full build of
the total package? Understanding that this places certain limits.
You can build the wizards project with netbeans, as I do it myself when
I want to debug it. I set up a new project where all *.java files are
included.
When you might want to write a new extra wizard for the new API which
will be introduced with the new report designer, you'll have to wait for
the upcoming snapshot.
Nice thing about Java and OOo is, that you can use netbeans to debug and
test it without the whole OOo stuff. The only thing you have to take
care for is to use the right JDK version. I use Source Level 1.4
I hope this info helps a little bit.

ps Enjoy your coffee
It's already empty again ;-)
