Re: [udig-devel] Udig Coding Guidelines

[Frank Gasdorf <fgdrf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Today I read the procedure steps and the last sentence I really like :
 "Restoring a headless build environment is a key step in producing a hudson automated build box for the project"

I'm currently working on an older version (1.2-M2) but I guess that doesn't make any sense. the sdk build was set up on windows  hudson/jenkins based on eclipse helios 3.6.1. So I can confirm that the headless build still works for the targets all and sdk. I never tried package or even application because we don't need it.

I switched my workspace to 1.5 and it fails only on a few source (mostly @Overwrite annotations) so I like to ask you for a vote, still stay ad 1.5 javacSource and javacTarget or be free to use Generics and some other cool things and switch to 1.6

in the 1.6 case I would update the headless build scripts ... and try to build an application.

Thanks, Frank

On gitorious I've ssen a tycho version (http://gitorious.org/~rahul/udig/tycho-udig-platform). Does it work and is it still under development, last push were in October 2010?

If it's a goal to build against a JDK 1.5 version, like defined in the shared.properties build script the project levels for the udig-platform projects should be set to 1.5. But the workspace build fails because of several @Overwrite Annotations.
