Hi Stepan,
And if redistributing the Eclipse jars was an issue then we could simply
make use of the Maven jar repository at ibiblio.org. The jars necessary
for using the Eclipse compiler can be obtained from there without the
need to download the entire Eclipse platform (see
http://www.ibiblio.org/maven/eclipse/jars/jdtcore-3.1.0.jar) which
reduces the "pain" considerably.
Ant build scripts could simply make use of the "get" task (with the
"usetimestamp" option to avoid unnecessary downloading) to get the
jdtcore-3.1.0.jar and then use "unzip" to extract the
jdtCompilerAdapter.jar that is contained in there. The modified
trunk/make/build-java.xml file inside the attachments for HARMONY-57 and
HARMONY-88 use the ibiblio.org repository in just this way to obtain
various xml support jars and even the junit jar.
Best regards,
George

If redistributing Eclipse's jars is not an issue then I think it would be
good to put them to SVN and set up the ant build script accordingly. This
will simplify build process.
Also this can be applied, for example, to BC provider jar - we'll avoid
questions like: which version of BC did you use? Everybody will use jar that
is distributed with Harmony code base and is used to test it.

I'm dorking around with some ant scripts for doing a complete unit test
run over all modules.
After some pondering, I'd like to have us eat our own dogfood (ok,
Eclipse's dogfood) and start doing everything that we can using the
eclipse java compiler, with the goal of self-hosting at some point with
a javac.exe that uses it.
So to that end, I'd like to set things up so that by default, we use the
eclipse compiler, but that means that people have to go through a
[painful] process to get the jars (2 of them) - namely if you don't have
Eclipse installed, you have to go get it and dig two jars out.
I'd like to set things up so we don't have to put in ant/lib to make it
less intrusive to people - we could have a local lib dir and do that
maybe.
Anyway, anyone have strong feelings or suggestions?
