Re: [dsdp-mtj-dev] Application descriptor in MTJ
|
I am not certain it would be a good idea to set a precedent like this. Spaces in file names are common on all major platforms, and tools need to be built to accommodate them. If we start changing our naming schemes to accommodate one tool, how many more changes will we be asked to make. Do we go back to 8.3 naming?
Better, I think, to change the in-house make tool to accept file names. Clear Case already does. Strategic placement of double quotes can fix a lot of make related problem

Hi,
The working copy of the jad file for a MIDlet project is
currently saved in the file system as “Application Descriptor”.
This is a change from the EclipseME days were it was named
the same as the resulting jad file.
The jad file is currently the only file created by Eclipse
or a plugin with a space in the name that I know of.
We have noticed problems with this and our source control
system, which is ClearCase + an in-house tool to make
it easier to work with. This doesn’t accept spaces in
file names.
Do you think it would be possible to change the name of this
file to something without a space in the name, or to
give the developer creating a new project the opportunity to
choose a name for the file ( maybe not wanted, since
the name of the file shouldn’t be something most
people care about )?
