I just downloaded the iText 1.4 SRC zip file, and was planning on building the jar file from source since the execution environment we're running in uses JDK 1.3.
I expected to be able to run "ant jar" and have the resulting JAR file immediately available. Apparently, there is an undocumented requirement to have a structure two directories up with "www" and "src". Haven't had the opportunity to research that would fix it, just got really frustrated. A common problem with open source projects is assuming all your users are geeky developer types that have a pre-configured development environment. I'm a configuration manager and don't give a rip about your CVS server environment. I just want to BUILD FROM THE SOURCE! Why do I need to have the simulated CVS environment available to build the RELEASED version of the code? I should be able to build without any modification WHATSOEVER using Ant and the file structure created after unzipping the ZIP file. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
