Re: Logo Proposition for VelocityTools

2007-12-14 Thread Claude Brisson
Some more -subjetive- feeback :

I really prefer the T of the first version - much softer and lighter.
And colors were good. Sthing very heavy in the second proposal, whereas
the first one recalls me of sthing inbetween of a conceptual
contemporary art artefact and a glass of wine... necessarily
sympatico... subjective, I told you... what about working around the
first proposal in the way I suggest here (only poorly crafted by means
of ugly cuts and pastes from you image):

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Test Build of VelocityTools 2.0-beta1 available

2007-12-14 Thread Will Glass-Husain
Hi,

A quick followup on the last post.  The issue seems to be this sequence
  ant test
  ant showcase

which causes problems when running the JAR in the two systems I
tested.  (not sure why).

If I do the following
   ant clean
   ant showcase

Then I was able to take the showcase war (compiled under JDK 1.6) and
run under either Tomcat 5.5/JDK 1.5  or Tomcat 6/JDK 1.6.

Maybe the "showcase" task should depend on "clean"?

Anyway, not a big deal for a beta.  I'd vote +1 if this came up for a vote.

lHi Nathan!

Downloaded and took a look around.  I really like the showcase web app!

Here's what I checked.  POM seemed good to my eye.  Reviewed the text
files.  Using JDK 1.5 I compiled, did ant test, ant docs, ant
showcase.  Loaded "showcase.war" in Tomcat 5.5/JDK 1.5.  No problem so
far.

Did the same with JDK 1.6.  "ant test" and "ant showcase" no problem.

When deploying the generated file "showcase.war" (compiled with JDK
1.6) I had some problems.  I'm still digging into it.

(a) running with Tomcat 5.5/JDK 1.5 gave me this exception when deploying.
java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: Bad version number in .class
file (Caused by java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: Bad version
number in .class file))

maybe this doesn't matter, though it surprised me.

(b) Running with Tomcat 6 / JDK 1.6 didn't work either.  I have a
funny setup so will try this again.  If this works for you it's
probably fine.
