Re: Giving an application a window icon in a sensible way

For some strange reason, some of the content has gone missing from my
other reply. Perhaps a parsing bug in google groups. I will reiterate.

Webstart? This is a standalone app, rather than an applet, servlet,
or some kind of specialized client/server thing. Are you sure this
recommendation isn't based on a misapprehension of the nature of what
I'm doing?

No misapprehension at all. Please consider reading the first paragraph
on...

That should clear things up.

You will also be able to set up an use a continous integration
server that will periodically check out your code (assuming you are
running a version control system like CVS and subversion... and if not,
you should be)

For a one-person project? You're joking. It would take me weeks to
learn to use such a complex tool, and then I have to operate some kind
of a server, then some kind of equally unfamiliar client ... that even
has *security* implications, since I have to make sure that the server
isn't visible to the outside world if I start running a server of some
sort.

Yes, even for a one person project. You can run version control locally
and it will give you the ability to tag version, branch (to try out
experimental things without poluting your working version), and
rollback if needed. Each change will be tracked. Very worthwhile for
any project, 1 person or 100'000 people.

You dont even need a server if it is just you, just install locally,
instructions for this are everywhere.


What the devil do you think is going on here -- a complex multiperson
operation with three or four large racks of servers, a LAN, and Christ
alone knows what else? It's a guy with a couple computers working
largely on his own. I certainly don't need my own computer emailing me
when I can just have it pop up a tray notification or whatever. :) And
if you think I'm going to run any kind of remote administration tool
you're dreaming. Not without most of that stuff I don't have -- LAN,
hardware firewall, 24/7 technical staff, racks of servers and backup
tape machines recording night and day, and the substantial lotto
winnings that would be required to finance all of that stuff.

I accept that CI might be overkill for your project. The point still
stands though. Ant will give you flexibility far beyond what eclipse
gives. You wont accept this, because your refuse to even look at the
project page unless someone gives you a detailed demonstration. It is
no problem to me. You will either discover it eventually or wander into
some other field.

I can assure you that if you take on contract work, or work on any
serious established product, you WILL come across this tool eventually.
You seem to be underestimating how ubiquitous it actually is.

Another case of "I'll cross that bridge when I come to it".

The bridge will almost certainly come with you get asked if you have
ever used ant before in an interview, at which point, it is too late to
come up with a plan to cross.
