thsi opportunity to move a whole heap of stuff into impl that doesn't really need to be visible to external parties. We're changing the return value of all expression creating factory classes to SQLExpression or FluentExp because those expose all the functionality one might need on the returned values and there's otherwise no value to be had getting an And() or a LiteralExp() and a downside of preventing us from replacing the implementation of those expressions without breaking binary compatibility. I hemmed a bit about everything in depot.operator. In theory everything there is available via a combination of Exps and FluentExp but in practice Whirled uses a ton of those classes directly (whre a ton is defined as 64 imports of classes in depot.operator). Perhaps I'll go on a cleanup jihad there and then move all that to impl as well. The rabbit holes, they always go deep.
Depot Persistence Library ------------------------- Depot is a relational persistence library for Java. It is an ORM library, but has aims that are somewhat different from the popular "managed" persistence libraries like Hibernate and others. Website ------- See the Depot website for documentation and other info: http://code.google.com/p/depot/ Building -------- The library is built using ant. It can be found here: http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/ Next, ensure that the necessary third party jar files are copied to the lib/ directory. See etc/libs-incl.xml for the list of those jar files. Finally invoke 'ant dist' to compile the code and generate a jar file. Invoke 'ant -p' to see information on other build targets. Depot also provides .classpath and .project files for Eclipse users which require that you set an EXT_LIBS_DIR variable indicating the location of the external jar dependencies. The Depot Eclipse project also depends on the Eclipse project for the samskivert library. That library can be found at: http://code.google.com/p/samskivert/ License and Distribution ------------------------ Depot is released under the LGPL. This means you are free to use Depot on any project, open source or proprietary, but that any modifications made to the library must be made available to the maintainers. See COPYING for more detailed information. The most recent version of the Depot source code is available at the website listed above. $Id$
