[MOBY-dev] Code updates in jMOBY

[Paul Gordon]

Hi Martin,

Sure, I can have a look at why jikes craps out...

BTW, yes, I did make some minor code changes in classes directly in 
org.biomoby.shared and org.biomoby.client, primarily because of package 
creep.  The functionality should not really be affected, if it is, let 
me know.  For example the formatFault you mentioned is replaced by 3 
lines that do essentially the same thing.

By package creep, I mean that in order to compile core MOBY classes into 
my non-MOBY cvs projects, I don't want to have to include lots of extra 
jars (I'm writing applets, which have severe memory restrictions).  For 
example, I moved JDOM specific code from Utils to JDOMUtils, and changed 
all references to those methods (very few actually) in CVS.  Same thing 
with the tulsoft libraries.  I think it's a generally good idea to limit 
the number external dependencies in the core shared classes, no?

Cheers,

Paul
