How to build JFreeChart from SVN

[david.gilbert]

It is the CVS link. I don't know how that other repository show's up there, but it is not the JCommon related to JFreeChart.

There is some activity again in the repository (great!). So I'll try to submit patches via tracker (like https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=d ... tid=315494) supposing that it is the only way and the right one.

Hi Martin!

Just got SVN and Soureforge permissions from David. David has plans to do a 1.0.14 release soonish. I will have a look at bugs and patches provided through the tracker in the next weeks or so. Hopefully an 1.0.15 release with some new features will follow.

cheers,

I thought I would sign up to GitHub as well, so if you want to keep posting your patches there that should be fine too (in fact, it's probably better that way).

Yup, I'll do both and always attach link to the issue. The problem is that not all of the (already committed) patches in GitHub repository do not always conform to the JFreeChart standards. I took it as my own playground a bit. E.g. bunch of enhancement to spider web plot. I'll need to polish those before applying to JFreeChart code base. In the past I was not convinced that they will be ever applied

It would be great if you would migrate whole repo to the GitHub someday. Then applying patches from contributors' forks would become much easier for you (likely same for similar DVCS sites like bitbucket.org) and vice versa.

In SVN in trunk folder for jfreechart the is some pom. file . However trying to run it cause an error.
Are you supporting maven builds or only ants? That pom file looks to be outdated.
P.S.
I am using maven 2.2.1 and jDK 1.6b24

[david.gilbert]

Ant is the build tool for the moment.

[matinh]

Ant currently is the build tool and this probably won't change in the near future. But I plan to at least update the maven POM and eventually make JFreeChart buildable with maven in the near future.

Also have a look for further discussion of this topic at viewtopic.php?f=3&t=27849.

Thanks Martin.

Moving to github is really good idea. We did it and it significantly increasing the number of patches (as pull requests) we get.
