SVN stories

I was finally able to get an account in the SVN system of Netlabs and now I'll be able to commit my work to it.
Now I have new problems. I decided to download SmartSVN a Java SVN client that seemed complete and was reported to work with OS/2.
As soon as I installed I noticed that the program wouldn't read the partition were the project is at. Later I downloaded the port of svn to OS/2 and when I was ready to begin testing, my Internet connection went dead and now I have the account but no way to commit.

What can I say...?? patience, only patience.

Eureka!

Finally I was able to compile the whole thing and now I can start working on the project again. I just lost the work on the TabFolder class.

Tales from Java

I decided to go on and create the environment for the port of SWT. I installed Java13 and Java131. Unfortunally for a strange reason the toolkit refuses to install on both distributions.

I thought I just needed the header files to make the compilation work but when I tried the ant command the system kept telling me that javac was missing. After going over the response file of the installer for the Java I realized that the toolkit included the header files AND the javac (of course... very dumb of me).

Since my attempts to make the CSD file work were futile, I decided to copy file by file from the instalation directory to their destination place. Let me say that "that sucks". I'm not finished yet but the road is clear I just have to go and do it.

I should be able to compile the project again very soon
