I'm replacing RMI in my project with Altrmi thus I had a good excuse to upgrade to the latest of all the avalon family. Here's my comments on getting a fresh CVS checkout of all + building.
On the main avalon page (http://jakarta.apache.org/avalon) the "Jakarta Home" link is broken, it returns you back to the main avalon page. It would be nice to have a link to the CVS checkout instructions somewhere on the avalon front page. I know where to go for the CVS information, but others may not. I noticed in the checkout of jakarta-avalon that it downloaded a copy of avalon-framework and avalon-excalibur jars (in tools/ext). Seems kinda silly but I guess there is a reason. Framework: Piece of cake! Logkit: Same! Excalibur: Realized I needed logkit :) Also failed building component: compile: Compiling 1 source file to /usr/local/src/java/jakarta-avalon-excalibur/component/build/classes Found 2 semantic errors compiling "/usr/local/src/java/jakarta-avalon-excalibur/component/src/java/org/apache/avalon/excalibur/component/PoolableComponentHandler.java": 12. import org.apache.avalon.excalibur.pool.ResourceLimitingPool; <------------------> *** Error: Could not find package "org/apache/avalon/excalibur/instrument" in: /usr/local/src/java/jakarta-avalon-excalibur/component/build/classes Copying ant.properties.sample to ant.properties fixed that. I didn't read the README and just went at it :) Also it would be nice if there were a javadocs target in the top-level buildfile. Phoenix: Build was fine, javadocs caught me for a sec before I noticed the separate ant file. Cornerstone: perfect. Otherwise, looking very nice! I'll report back on how my altrmi experience goes. it looks like it may already have what I want to implement (generating a proxy for the interface to remote to log how long the method calls take). -pete -- peter royal -> [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
