CBE - new Pheonix app
Hi folks,
I have helped Thomas Neumann, the author of CBE (*Code Building
Environment* ) at sourceforge to migrate his app to have Phoenix
compatability. It is a version control system and platform independant
make environment. Now none of us Java-heads need the latter as we're
over the moon with Ant, but the former has some potential. The make env
is for non Java languages too, so has benefits for those "legacy" langauges.
The code is booked into CVS at the moment and not visible from the
download page (SourceForge is sooo complicated), but it marks the first
OSS application outside Apache that is maintaining it's own Pheonix
compatability. That is it has phoenix-client.jar and logkit in it's own
CVS. This, for me, was the prototype for the Phoenix Developer Kit. As
it happens CBE still works in standalone mode, so it's an adaptation
job mostly.
There is still a little work to do make it bullet proof, so watch the
http://sourceforge.net/projects/cbe site for changes over the next week
or so and please welcome Thomas to the Avalon Developer community.
Regards,
- Paul H

very +1 ;)

It needs work, unfortunately.

I'm sure I could have a go. I am not too familiar with the codebase.
Howabout getting yourself added to the sourceforge ccomitters for that
project. Actually, I have to fix the sar construction as you've
migrated to SAR-INF recently.
Incidentally, Would a diff/patch pair for Ant be cool?

my pet hate about CVS is basically that it doesn't version meta-data and that
you can't "delete" directorys from current head without setting a "-P"
(prune) option ;)

If you want CVS with a GUI, accessible from within an IDE, look at
Netbeans.

ooer - I need a new version control system. Stuck with damn Visual Source
Safe - one of the most poorly designed VC products I have ever worked with !
Blech and I used to think CVS sucked ;) Though VSS does have a nice GUI ;)
So how production ready is this system - the page lists it as alpha?

welcome !
I have a request ;) Is there any chance of making the code for creating,
merging and applying patches and so forth available separat ely - perhaps as
a cbe-tools.jar ? The reason is that I wanted this style functionality ages
ago when I was adding something to ant but didn't see anything about in
OSS/Free software land.
