It is structured in a way which makes the Derby build look complicated and intimidating. The build instructions need to be thoroughly overhauled and divided into two main sections: > 1) The simple build instructions for people who are new to the community. This will be a build with few pre-requisites which just works out of the box. > 2) Trickier build instructions for people who want compile-time checks for the different platforms which Derby supports. > While we're at it, I suggest that the revised instructions live in an html file rather than a flat text file. I think this will result in a document that is more readable and easier to navigate. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
