[jdt-dev] systematic maintenance of jclMin*

[Stephan Herrmann <stephan.herrmann@xxxxxxxxx>]

For all those, who know what are the jclMin* stubs used in 
org.eclipse.jdt.core.tests.model, please note:


The process of maintaining the contents of those jars has changed, actually 
following the example of converterJclMin*:

inside the org.eclipse.jdt.core git folder "JCL" now contains a bunch of 
additional projects each containing the sources for one of the stub jars.

The ant script JCL/build.xml has been extended to build also jclMin*.jar.

So please update the jar and src.zip files only by modifying sources in those 
projects and then running the ant build.

Beware, that this might update even jars whose source has not been touched, the 
reasons of which still need to be investigated. So please revert any 
unintentionally modified jars before committing (replace with HEAD).

One potential reason for unintended differences: When you check out any of the 
jclMin* projects, those are actually compiled in Eclipse and the ant build will 
pick up class files from the bin folder. If ant finds any sources to be newer 
than their class file, then it will invoke javac on those files. I find working 
on those sources in a regular Eclipse with workspace build convenient, but if 
others prefer other workflows we may have to add a clean target to the ant build.

thanks,
Stephan
