[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-1526?page=all ]
Andrew McIntyre updated DERBY-1526:
-----------------------------------
Summary: build should be able to locate the Java runtime
libraries from properties not sourced from ${user.home}, but inside the current
subversion checkout. (was: building does not need to use ${user.home} and it
should not do so)
Affects Version/s: 10.2.0.0
Description:
I think it is problemmatic that the Derby build process makes use of, for
example, ${user.home}/ant.properties.
I would actually like to be able to build multiple versions of Derby. I also
cannot see what is gained by relying on the user's home directory in this
manner. All of this information could be put into a configuration that can be
kept in the project directory. That would work just fine.
By the way, I am looking at the top-of-tree code. How do I refer to that in the
"Affects Version" box above? This version is 422938.
thanx - ray

Marking this as an improvement, since the current setup works in most
situations. I've edited the summary to more accurately indicate the improvement
that could be made.
