There exists a Java project maintained in a SVN repository (access
over the internet). It's mostly pure Java (Java 6), but has a few
niceties to tie into the OS. The OS at this point is Windows. People
use a variety of IDEs, with an ant-based build process.
My job is supposed to be, to get this thing running on a Mac (and
later maybe Linux, too).
I'd love to use XCode, for one, because I am familiar with it
(although not in a Java environment), and because it supports SVN,
while e.g. Eclipse does CVS.
I'm fairly new to all this ant and Java stuff, so I wonder what's the
suggested/common practice is to deal with such scenarios, given the
absence of a preprocessor in Java, etc.
Is there a way to import an existing ant-based project into XCode,
without messing it all up?
Is there a way to maintain a Java project in an ant-based XCode
project, such that it remains compatible with other IDEs that may
check out the project, and can do conditional builds depending on the
platform?
Or am I best off simply copying the Java code and starting a new,
independent project/branch based on it, which of course would make
syncing changes in the main project with the Mac version somewhat of
a PITA to say the least?
Any suggestions welcome, sorry for the noob questions, but you got to
start somewhere. I'd rather be doing all of this in ObjC on a Mac,
but that's not my choice to make ;)
