Re: [stellation-res] Windows Port

I have now got Stellation working under Windows XP. The testing environment
included the Sun JVM version 1.4.1_02 and the database was Firebird 1.5 Beta
3 with the Jaybird JDBC driver 1.00 RC3. All tests were run on a dual
processor 1,6Ghz machine with Athlon P2000 processors and 2GB of memory.
I have both local and server based operation working. It is interesting that
running a server environment rather than a local environment where both
client and server are on the same physical machine is nearly 3 times as fast
with my test configuration.
I found that running the ant script in a server based environment took 5
min. 45 sec. whereas running it in a local configuration took 14 min. During
the remote tests CPU usage on both processors was approximately 50%. Go
figure :-)
The next step is probably to address documentation. Our current
documentation is completely Linux centric and I think it would be difficult
to combine the two environments in a readable interleaved form. Accordingly
I recommend that I produce separate Windows oriented documents. If you all
agree with this approach, I will try to factor out common stuff that is not
platform specific into includable units that can appear in both documents.
Congratulations on getting it working! That's wonderful news. Can you please
post the patches for the change?
I'm a little concerned about the overlapping documentation, but I think
my concern
is easily addressable.
The root of my concern is this: any manual approach to sharing common
documentation
segments is almost inevitably doomed to failure. The solution, of
course, is to automate it.
I can write a simple processor to do includes, as long as we agree on a
syntax. I'd
propose the following, using the XML processing instruction format
(which is exactly what PIs are intended for.)
<?include file="filename"?>
If there is general approval, I'll toss together a simple processor
written in Java that expands this.
