Antidote has had two or three phases of increased development efforts with longer breaks of inactivity in between. The last one has been winter/early spring this year IIRC. The Ant committer who's currently most interested in Antidote has switched jobs by then and may have some trouble to keep up with it ATM. Most Ant committers don't work on Antidote at all. Some of them (me included) simply don't enjoy GUI programming at all. In addition it is hard to work on something you don't use. I'm absolutely happy with using Ant from the command line (errm, XEmacs compile command, that is) and others use the integration present in their IDE of choice. > My main observation is, "I wish they had continued developing the > GUI in NetBeans and kept the .form files," (since parts of the > project apparently started under NetBeans). My recollection is different. The NetBeans/Ant integration has been developed very early - a couple of months before Antidote started - sometime early spring 2000 as opposed to autumn 2000 IIRC. But as far as I understand it, Antidote has been independent from the NetBeans integration. The two projects may have borrowed ideas from each other, but they've been independent efforts. > If I were "attack" the GUI in that fashion (tossing it back into > NetBeans) would that be acceptable or would that cross some > guideline? I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "tossing it back".
