Compile bug in stable build downloaded

#1 (**permalink**) March 16th, 2002

Hi folks

There is a small bug in the stable build:
com.limegroup.gnutella.gui.library.LinkHandler

line 194
return "<html><a href=\"\">"+LABEL_STRING+"</a></html>";

does have two semicolons at the end and gives me a compile error (I'm using jdk 1.4)

Cheers,
Stephan

Don't use the packaged sources, they are outdated and have not been maintained since several months).

Use CVS and get a version from the limewire/core and limewire/gui projects, by creating two projects in your cvsroot directory: core and limewire.
then:
cd core ; ant clean ; ant ; buildCoreJar
cd ../gui ; ant clean ; ant

start the compiled version with "run" in the gui folder.

I did that and it works well but IMHO the build process is a mess. Why use batch files and shell scripts when ant offers everything you need? Why compile into the directories where you store your source code? Why use the jar command (multiple times) when ant has a jar task?

If you'd organize things a little differently, a "ant release" could automatically compile core and gui, jar everything and copy all relevant files to a release directory. It would be much faster too since the jvm would load only once.

since you seem to know what you're talking about how about signing up at limewire.org join the gui and core project and make those changes. I would really like to see a way of easier and more organized version building!
