RE: Mauve usage with custom bootclasspath?

[Daniel Naab <dann at broadjam dot com>]

Thank you much, things seem to be working well.  I have a couple
comments/questions:

There's a problem with build.xml on Windows, which surfaces when building
either through cmd.exe or Cygwin (bash).  The lines...

        <filter token="SRCDIR" value="${user.dir}"/>
        <filter token="TMPDIR" value="${java.io.tmpdir}" />
        <filter token="CHECK_PATH_SEPARATOR" value="${path.separator}"/>
        <filter token="CHECK_FILE_SEPARATOR" value="${file.separator}"/>

.... successfully replace the specified paths in the source, but since
Windows uses "\" as the file separator, the resulting Java code won't
compile.  Somehow those portions of the paths should be escaped out.

I got to this point by trying to create an Ant script to do a Mauve checkout
and build.. I have no trouble building manually, but when trying to run the
configure script from Ant, I ran into the problem that it doesn't seem to
have a way to call a shell script with parameters.. of which some escaped "
characters may exist.  I'm probably just missing something, but noticing
that the Ant script also exists, I realized it would probably be easier just
to call the appropriate compile target instead.  Do I still need to run
configure if using the Ant script?  What would be the steps necessary to
execute the compile target, assuming a clean checkout?  I suppose I could
just use a makefile instead, but now that I'm as far as I am, that urge to
finish is too strong. :)

Thanks.  The test suite looks excellent, and will be a very useful tool for
SwingWT!
