Project Tools

Below are some Daffodil-specific links to the project tools that NCSA provides.

• Wiki - https://opensource.ncsa.illinois.edu/confluence/display/DFDL
• Jira Bugs and Issues- https://opensource.ncsa.illinois.edu/jira/browse/DFDL
• Fisheye Source Code Review - https://opensource.ncsa.illinois.edu/fisheye/changelog/dfdl
• Git - git clone https://opensource.ncsa.illinois.edu/fisheye/git/dfdl.git
  
  • Note: no longer using Subversion - https://opensource.ncsa.illinois.edu/svn/dfdl/trunk/daffodil

To get an email on every commit to the code repository:

1. Make sure you're logged in.
2. Go to the Fisheye link above.
3. On the left you should see a tree view starting at daffodil/. Select a branch (e.g., 'master') above the tree view. Then point mouse at 'daffodil' and click (should go bold)
4. Click on the Tools menu on the far right top of the page.
5. Click on Watch. You will be notified about any changes to that branch.
6. If you want to also be notified about changes on other branches, repeat steps 3 to 5 to setup watches on those also

If you want to see what watches you have setup...

1. click on your name, or go to People->All Users and find your name.
2. Then, looking at your page, go to the very top of screen, find your name and a pull-down menu.
3. Pull down and choose settings.
4. On the menu on the left, click Watches.
5. You will then see them listed. (Old ones for subversion repository can be deleted.)

Additional tools (you can google to find these - rather than put in links here that will just get stale)

    • The enterprise J2EE version has everything except scala in it.
  • Install the scala IDE
