Re: [mdr-users] Building MDR from CVS not possible

[moving from users@ to dev@]

Brian,
please don't waist time on the JMIImplGenerator - I have removed it - it 
was very experimental and for my own use only anyway - I am using it 
while I am helping with Java module's integration with MDR, implementing 
the derived part of the model. I put it into CVS only because I wanted 
to be able to version it, but it is not that critical. At some point of 
time, I will make this class more advanced and make it available from 
MDR Explorer, but since the looks API that MDR Explorer uses is already 
obsolete, I wanted to wait for the new looks API that is currently 
developed in a separate branch to integrate this feature into MDR Explorer.
I tried to make the JMIImplGenerator work with the new GenericMapper 
yesterday, but found out that the changes you have made to it don't make 
it possible for me to misuse it for this kind of thing (because now 
generic mapper is responsible for opening the stream for a class of a 
given name, but I needed to control the name of the class and package).
