Does coccoondev support sysproperty ?

["BAZLEY, Sebastian" <Se...@london.sema.slb.com>]

I updated cocoondev.xml recently to set java.awt.headless as a property.

I'd like to make this more consistent with the other builds which set
java.awt.headless as a system property, but before doing this can I please
ask if cocoondev supports sysproperty?

I expect it does, but I did not want to try - in case it broke *all* the
builds.

Are you game to (1) log into bugzilla and/or (2) help fix in
src/documentation/content/xdocs anything like this that isn't apparent from
the documentation? Seems daft to have you others go through what you are
(like I did, like others) w/o more helpful documentation.

I am close to done for the year (flying to UK to see family) but will be
back at this early next year.

regards,

Adam

The first thing a Gump install does is update itself from CVS, then (for
traditional) build itself, then run. Wouldn't be very Gump-like not to,
would it? ;-)

Not that all (any of the traditional) public site use these but look at
gump.sh and gumpy.sh in the root directory.

Gump's are meant to be robust to configuration mistakes. Python Gump is less
robust than traditional, and stumbles easier, but I'd not sweat it. Every
stumble becomes a unit test and a bug fix, so that's ok. Gump (like juniut)
is there so we can move faster. It is the safety net, so don't hold back...

Adam
