noticed that formatting is mostly OK but sometimes gets bungled slightly.
I tried everything I could think of, and now I'm passing the buck to Java's
RTF support.
TMW_RTF_TO_THDL_WYLIE (now misnamed) support TMW->TM
conversion (but not TM->TMW). There is an automated test case for a
TMW->TM conversion.
I have full confidence in this conversion. Even the smallest glitch in the core
functionality (not formatting) would surprise me.
org.thdl.tib.input.TMW_RTF_TO_THDL_WYLIE. It converts RTF files
consisting of TMW characters to the corresponding THDL Extended Wylie.
It supports --find-some-non-tmw mode, which allows you to ensure that no
unusual characters will spoil the conversion. The converter has built-in
intelligence that allows it to handle Tahoma '{', '}', and '\\' characters
properly.
The converter works on mixed Roman/TMW also, but --find-some-non-tmw
and --find-all-non-tmw modes are not as useful.
Invoke org.thdl.tib.input.TMW_RTF_TO_THDL_WYLIE, which resides in
Jskad's jar, with no command-line options to see usage information.
Noted some failures. "Fixed" the code to do what I want it to do for
the (no sanskrit stacking, tibetan stacking) case [which is exercised
by this keyboard only].
clean check'. Right now there are tests to ensure that typing certain
sequences of keys in the Extended Wylie keyboard gives the expected
Extended Wylie back when "Tools/Convert Tibetan to Wylie" is invoked.
The syntactically illegal d.wa now converts to Tibetan and then back
to d.wa (not dwa, as it did); likewise with the illegal g.wa. wa
doesn't take any prefixes, but I prefer clean end-to-end
behavior. (jeskd doesn't go end-to-end, though.)
Note that you cannot successfully run the DuffPane tests on a Linux
box unless your DISPLAY variable is set correctly. Thus, my nightly
builds will fail with an Error (as opposed to a Failure).
Jskad/extensions. If you're lazy, you can move them to
extensions/drop-ins, but the correct thing to do is to move x*.jar to
$ANT_HOME/lib [next to vamp.jar, if you're already set up for Java Web
Start builds]. This is a side effect of improving the nightly builds.
Nightly builds now feature an HTML summary of the JUnit test results,
a datestamp, and full API docs in two flavors.
If you use a patched vamp.jar [e-mail me] that can run when an X11
display is not available (there is not an analogous problem for
Windows servers, I suspect), all you have to do to put up a nightly
builds site is to set up CVS access so that no password is requires
using SSH public-key crypto (sf.net documents how to do so well) and
then use the following daily cron job on your Unix box:
#! /bin/sh
renice +19 -p $$ >/dev/null 2>&1
su -l joe-user /bin/sh -c /var/www/thdl/nightly/doTheBuild.sh
where joe-user is an unprivileged user who has installed Ant properly
(see the updated BuildSystems.html on the developer's site off of
thdltools.sf.net) and set himself up a Jskad sandbox with a Fonts
sandbox underneath it in, e.g., /var/www/thdl/nightly/Jskad. Here's
doTheBuild.sh:
#! /bin/sh
JSKAD=/var/www/thdl/nightly/Jskad
DEST=/var/www/thdl/nightly/builds
HISTORY=/var/www/thdl/nightly/history
DATE=`date`
if test ! -d $DEST; then \
echo "$DEST does not exist ($DATE)." >> history; exit 1; fi
(cd $JSKAD && ant dc-nightly-build \
&& rm -fr ${DEST}/* \
&& cp dist/nightlyBuild.zip $DEST \
&& cd $DEST \
&& unzip nightlyBuild.zip)
if test $? != 0; then echo "NIGHTLY BUILDS FAILED on $DATE" >> $HISTORY; exit 2; fi
DDDATE=`date`
echo "Success on start=$DATE end=$DDDATE" >> $HISTORY
exit 0
e-mailed to me. Tibbibl is an editor for XML-based bibliographies of
Tibetan texts. All I did was change the package from org.thdl.xml to
org.thdl.tib.bibl and add boilerplate; no changes to Than's code were
made.
Tibbibl features a diacritic input tool which Jskad might want to
swipe.
that I like unit tests, my Unicode conversion work is going to have to
be thorougly tested for reasons I will outline in
http://thdltools.sf.net/BuildSystems.html later today.
Added the freely licensed JUnit 3.8.1 binary to the repository, along
with some README files. Added a new supporting buildfile,
junitbuild.xml. 'ant clean check' is now good to go (though it uses
the text UI for JUnit, and some developers may want the Swing GUI)
Also, I cleaned up build.xml a bit, including adding all buildfiles
(but not junit.jar and things like that) to the source distribution
('ant src-dist') rather than just build.xml.
and for this package only.
I'm committing in order to sync with my laptop, really. This stuff will disappear
and reappear in better form later, after a holiday of coding and eggless,
alcohol-free nog.
dist/nightlyBuild.zip. As the suggestive name implies, coupling this
with a shell script like '(cvs -f -q update -dP && ant nightly-build
&& scp dist/nightlyBuild.zip && ssh 'cd wherever/ && unzip foo') ||
email_error_message' would yield a nightly build process for us.
'Fonts' module inside the 'Jskad' module. I.e., you must now have the
tree like so:
Jskad/
source/
dist/
Fonts/
TibetanMachineWeb/
.
.
.
This is because the THDL tools now optionally (and by default) load
the TibetanMachineWeb fonts automatically.
Updated the build system so that the 'web-start-releases' and
'self-contained-dist' targets JAR up optional JARs to create
double-clickable, self-contained joy. Even the TMW fonts are in the
JARs now.
Changed the strings describing two Jskad keyboards so that "keyboard"
is no longer in the description. It's in the label next to the combo
box.
Jskad now saves preferences on exit or when the user selects a menu
item (that is there for debugging mainly) to ~/my_thdl_preferences.txt
on *nix or C:\my_thdl_preferences.txt on Win32. I don't know the
correct Mac location.
There's a new paradigm for telling org.thdl.util.ThdlOptions that a
user preference has been changed. If, for example, a combo box is
manipulated so that the ACIP keyboard is selected, then you must call
a certain method in ThdlOptions.
Smart*Player.java, which are accessed via reflection. Cleaned up the
code a bit so that it would compile in so doing.
Changed the 'options.txt' preferences file to reflect the new method
of selecting media players.
be specified on the command line via
'ant -Djnlp.codebase="http://foo.bar/baz"'.
This means that dist/ no longer contains .jnlp files; they are created by Ant
instead.
and compile targets will build the servlet form of the translation tool. If you
haven't, they won't build it.
Added comments.
Made it easier to change the build classpath inside a target while retaining
reusability.
Fixed typo: ttbin should've been ttservletbin.
string-valued preferences built atop java.util.Properties.
How it works: the jvm is asked first, and then the user's prefs file, if it exists,
then the system-wide prefs file, and then the built-in preferences. Finally, for
robustness, a default may be optionally hard-coded in the source.
I made several things configurable, too:
the default Tibetan keyboard
the default font sizes and faces
whether you want developer-only features enabled
Savant's file extension (.savant)
etc.
The only known problems are the following:
The default location for the user's preferences file is windows-specific,
arbitrary, and not in the user documentation. Likewise for the location of the
system-wide preferences file. You can change them using 'java -D', though.
There is no "Save preferences" option yet, and closing the program does
not save preferences either.
