Development Notes

This is just a collection of some handy items to know concerning various development shortcuts and tools.


Change to XWSF/SWTClient 'run' Target - 05/27/2008

As of 5.27.2008, the build.properties and application.properties files are no more. All of the values contained in them have been moved to the appropriate build.xml file. There is only one change required to run the application now and it only applies if you are not using hsqldb on localhost.

When you might normally try

ant run

in xwsf/SWTClient, you now have to set the server.url property as well. So something like...

ant -Dserver.url=http://localhost:8080/mw-pgsql-local run

Addition of 'quickRunWebserver' Target

This target has the same effect as the 'webServer' target, but is much faster as it avoids the packing/unpacking process. Unfortunately, it only works for *nix environments that have the 'cp' command available. This means it works under Cygwin, FWIW.
