Info for THDL Tools Developers

This page is the first attempt at extracting knowledge about the internals of the THDL tools from Edward's brain. The only thing we personally have got up on the web that's any use thus far are

• our Javadoc API docs.

Here are some links to tools of interest:

• Jskad, Savant and QuillDriver use an Ant build system.  See Apache Ant or jump right to the documentation for the tasks of which we make use.
• Our unit tests use the JUnit framework.
• Savant and QuillDriver make use of the Java(TM) Media Framework API.
• In our Java(TM) code, we load some classes at run-time.  To understand the mechanisms behind this--Class.forName(String) and thread context class loaders, etc.--read this JavaGeeks white paper.
