  • Next message: Andrus Adamchik: "DONE - CVS reorg notice"

    I am ready to go ahead with this change. I will temporarily disable
    CVS notifications to avoid email flood. Also if you were planning to
    check in new code, it is wise to it hold off until further notice.

    I decided to go with a split-project approach. Currently Cayenne maps
    to a single Eclipse project; once the change is done it will become
    an Eclipse workspace with multiple projects. Workspace will have a
    single set of Ant scripts.

    Here is the planned root folder structure:

    /build*.xml
    /README-eclipse.txt

    /cayenne-java/ /* Main project with JDK 1.4 source */
        lib/ /* Moved from current '/otherlib' */
        src/ /* Moved from current '/src' */
        .classpath
        .project

    /cayenne-java-1.5/ /* New Java 1.5 project */
        src/
        .classpath
        .project

    /cayenne-third-party-src/ /* currently under cayenne-otherlib-src */
        .project

    /cayenne-docs/
        doc/
        xdocs/
        .project
