Has anyone investigated this in the past? It seems that Project
Wonder assumes things about the version of WO you are using (and I
know I am massively simplifying the situation here, as I know and
appreiate that much has been done to make things work). But this
might just be a losing game.
It seems that it should be possible to have the build system do
different things based on the WO version and the Project Wonder version.
The downside is that if we say it works with 3 versions of that and 3
versions of that, there are 9 things to test. And we also have a
"internal eclipse build" and an ant build that creates two further
configurations. So, that may be 18. On the other hand, that level of
complexity exists right now. It is just pushed off to the user to
deal with....
Perhaps I am just being distracted. I have been trying to fix some
things in examples, but I can fix some things for some versions and
other things for other versions. It is like a big Rubik's cube, and
it is not clear one can solve the puzzle with the tools we have now.
One problem is that I can see how to do this with ant, but not with
the eclipse build system. Overall, the ant build system has
advantages over the internal build system, but when the internal
build system works, it is really nice. Perhaps there is a way to make
ant builds as naturally integrated in and I jam just missing it.
Well, if anyone has suggestions, or wishes to mock the idea as
foolishness, please do.
