Igor: I'm going through a big site reorganization right now (the code, not the material), but I do intend to get your scripts up on my site (probably in the FAQ).
I glanced at them and didn't identify any major issues with them. I don't have much of a need for them for a few reasons: (1) I use a wrapper class for java.io.File in my own programs which recognizes Cygwin-style paths, (2) I don't develop on UNIX, so don't have much need for portable build scripts, (3) For most of my own projects, I use a stupid little build tool I wrote myself (which is similar to Ant), and for customer projects, I have used Ant itself. Thanks for the contribution, though ... getting those scripts out there will only help other people and/or make them better. -- David. -----Original Message----- From: Igor Pechtchanski [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, January 04, 2003 4:55 PM To: David P.

For what it's worth, I use the attached scripts as wrappers for java, jar, javadoc and javac (the javac one is not extensively tested as I use a Cygwin-compiled jikes for java compilation). The only caveat is that filenames passed as parameters to Java programs and custom doclet options in javadoc are not converted. You will need to change the *_EXEC values close to the beginning of the scripts to conform to your system (I have IBM JDK 1.3). Hope this helps. David, feel free to post them on the web page if needed. I'd also appreciate any comments or bug reports. Thanks.
