Preparing ourselves to ship version 2.0

Try this:

$ cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.apache.org:/home/cvspublic checkout xml-axis
$ cd java
$ ant all

and then look for this:

all:
BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 17 minutes 17 seconds

17 beautiful minutes, (and only because I didn't bother the https stuff yet.)I saw a lot of :

[junit] Running test....

All of which gives me a quite comforting out of the box experience... running to the samples now...

Do this at home: In real practice I used the RC2 src distribution and not the bleading edge cvs head AND you'll have some additional jar downloads before actually building, but docos are quite complete...

*update*: build of cvs head works as well, just grab the newer httpclient from jakarta-commons

Another Java experience, for more of us to enjoy? Am afraid that messages like this are only heard as: "it is difficult to date" (so untrue). And there still is this little villain in me that hopes for a growing collective consciousness around the fact that difficult things exist, and will always. Let us not be afraid to think, not even the outerthought.Will play around with it if I have the chance though.
