It is well-structured and don't get me wrong that's cool, but it's still an IDE build file. So I prefer to let the IDE manage it's build script and I'll manage mine. :) The biggest problem that I see with Netbeans is it's library manager. While it's interesting it it's own light, it really breaks a standard practice of a lot of businesses/open source projects: Keep libs in the source control repository. Granted you can still have your libs there, but you can't attach source to them unless you add your lib to the Library Manager and go wacky there. If the library manager was tied to each project I'd be fine, but it's workspace/application -wide. > > Eddy I'm using Netbeans more and more these days, so how others build their RIFE apps with it is incredibly interesting. Thanks for the info and keep coding. :) -- JR _______________________________________________ Rife-users mailing list Rife-users@uwyn.com http://www.uwyn.com/mailman/listinfo/rife-users
