This little chunk of code has been tweaked and cargo'd forward for years with no documentation as to what's going on. What I object to is the blatent disregarding of the width specified in getdown.txt with something calculated internally. (width - x*2) GIGO; fix your fucking getdown.txt. - If we are not granted privileges, reading the metadata breaks, which is why the fallback was first added. - Later it was tweaked because getWidth() can sometimes report 0 and that would cause the fallback width to be negative.
What is it? ----------- Getdown (yes, it's the funky stuff) aims to provide a system for downloading and installing a collection of files on a user's machine and upgrading those files as needed. Though just any collection of files would do, Getdown is mainly intended for the distribution and maintenance of the collection of files that make up an application. See the Google Code project for documentation and other information: http://code.google.com/p/getdown Building -------- Getdown is built with Maven in the standard ways. Invoke the following commands, for fun and profit: % mvn compile # builds the classes % mvn test # builds and runs the unit tests % mvn package # builds and creates jar file % mvn install # builds, jars and installs in your local Maven repository
