Hi Bob, Adding a description to P4Change is trivial. Just add a new String field for desc, a setDesc(String) method to the code and use something like <p4change desc="Hello"/>.
Then just change the util.substitute string to reflect your desc field. The current Autosubmit By Ant desc is hardcoded (I know, I know.....Shouldn't have done that) Easy eh? The code's no longer mine, it's part of the greater good so feel free to change it. What you need to do is to grab the latest copy from CVS, make your changes and then using diff (which CVS can do for you) generate a patch file. Email this to the ant-dev list with a subject along the lines of [PATCH] P4Change with a short explaination of what you've done. It's also a good idea to update the docs and post a patch for them as well. One of the committers (which I'm not) will apply your patch, test it (hopefully!) and then submit it. Don't worry, Stefan and the other guys are very helpful - I made a load of dumb new developer mistakes (and still do :-) that Stefan took the time, off list, to help me through (like doing the diffs the wrong way round - doh!) So come on in and join the party!
