[Yanel-dev] Building/Compiling resources more efficiently

[Michael Wechner]

Hi

Just as a reminder, but also for discussion:

One can build/compile a resource without having to trigger to whole 
build process by using the -f option, for example

./build.sh -f 
/home/michi/src/wyona/SOME_CUSTOM_PROJECT/res-types/shared/build.xml

whereas one needs to configure the yanel.source.version within

res-types/shared/src/build/dependencies.xml

by setting for example

<target name="dependencies" description="Dependencies">
    <property name="yanel.source.version" value="1.0-dev-rREVISION"/>

this makes developing Java classes much faster.

The problem is a bit that one needs to set this property explicitely and 
shouldn't leave it there, because in case Yanel source should
change this version number, then old libs will be used or one will 
receive a compile error.

In order to solve this I thought about introducing an environment 
variable, for example

export YANEL_SOURCE_HOME=/home/michi/src/wyona/public/yanel/trunk

which would allow the build process to check what Yanel source version is.

WDYT?

Thanks

Michael
