Week 13 - Status Report
28/01/2002 - 03/02/2002
Last Updated: 3rd February 2002
Log
- Concentrated on fixing up the build environment (week 11's work). I now have an ant build script that can do the build in one step, run the unit tests, generate javadoc, etc. The framework should make it much quicker to write new classes and I hope to catch up with the schedule by the end of next week.
- Wrote the test classes for the
JarResources class and fixed a few minor bugs related to the behaviour of the class.
Group Meeting Notes - 28/01/2002
Brief discussion about doing PhDs. Short talk on the work I had done in the previous week and the problems I had encountered. Was asked about how the system would handle inter-library dependencies, and more specifically the following situation:
- library B depending on library A
- client uses libraries A and B
- new versions of library A and B are release, the new version of B requires the new version of A.
- the new version of B is binary compatible with the client but the new verion of A is not.
This is a type of functionality I hadn't previously considered. I decided that the system would inform the user of the incompatibility and treat the libraries as a whole.
