Hi Aslak,

I already had a mail prepared for you, but I wanted to wait until the
release. I learned a lot from the xdocletgui in regard to how to read
the xtags.xml and use the condition mechanism.

AH> Do you have a CVS pointer for the code? Me curious to see the sources and
AH> how it's built!

/cvsroot/jboss/contrib/jbosside

The build mechanism is o.k. for my local build, but dodgy for team
development. It needs improvement.

AH> Isn't it a bit overkill to include XDoclet, Ant, xerces and other xml stuff
AH> in the download?

Not in regard to the Ant and xerces stuff. The thing is that the
installer needs all this libs. It's based on the Java Ant Wizard
Framework, a project that came out of JBoss-IDE and the installer uses
Ant for installation. Anyway, the installer is a temporary thing (see
the faq section on the JBoss-IDE project page) and with the next
eclipse release we don't need that any longer.

In regard to the xdoclet libs it's true for now. We only need the
xtags.xml's at the moment. But in the not to distant future we want to
generate. So I couldn't be bothered to extract the xml's.

I'd love to cooperate with the xdoclet team.

For me the thing that's really missing in JBoss-IDE is the generation.
Imagine XDoclet generation totally integrated in the eclipse build
mechanism. With every rebuild and every save not only the compiler is
activated but also the xdoclet generator (only where necessary). I
think XDoclet 2.0 is planned to be usable without ant. For 1.2 I've
read some, but not to much, hacking is necessary for that ?

The other thing is your xdocletgui. Swing, what can I say. Swing has
killed Java's reputation as a language for desktop application. It's
cool to program, it's well designed but the results are not satisfying
... So there has to be a SWT version of it (-:
