There was a comment that the compiler used by JB was different than the
one
used so far. Having dealt with compiler bugs, I wonder if this is a
concern? If so, would that be a reason to standardize on the ANT
approach?
We saw differences when we turned on/off debugging information. Not errors
as such just differences in behaviour, which caused differences in class
signatures, which caused differences in Serialization SerialVers - that's
all.
I would not panic and switch to ANT just because of compiler differences.
Longer term you might want to go the ANT way anyway as you are in explicit
control of the build process, rather than hoping that you clicked on the
right thing in JBuilder to encourage it to do what you want. Usually this is
not a problem but we have already seen the subtle way JB Personal is hobbled
compared to Pro and Ent. Moving to ANT would potentially re-aligh the
process.
However this would require us all to get to know "yet another build process"
as I only have second-hand knowlege of ANT as I had others sort it for us.
