Hiya guys,

I just tried to get trang going, spotted it was from 2003 and thought I'd see if there was a newer version.  As luck would have it, it seems to have been picked up and is being developed again, and there's a new version (20081028) available.

I tried updating the ebuild, here's what I found:

* The project's now on googlecode (SRC_URI change)
* The project now requires a jdk/jre >= 1.5 (1.4 won't compile it)
* The project doesn't appear to need xerces-1.3 any more (I don't know enough about it to say that for certain)
* The project now uses resources which don't appear to be included in the source distribution (only in the binary jar file).  As such, whilst it may compile fine, trying to run it afterwards will result in a "ResourceBundle not found" exception...

That last point was my major stumbling block, and is why I haven't attached a new ebuild or anything.  They appear to recommend checking out from their subversion repository to compile from source, but that appears to use XSLs to make separate module build.xml files, and it all got a bit sticky.

Anyway, I hope my findings are of some use.  It would be great to have this (and jing) updated if someone gets the chance.  Thanks...  5:)

I second the bump request.

Ping.  Any news?

I've added an ebuild for version 20091111 to the java-experimental overlay.

Works well for me. Check it out.

Btw. I haven't complained upstream about the resource bundles. If you are going to include it into the main tree you might want to do so.

The property files needed I do extract from the jar archive which comes along with the sources. A comment is in the build.xml regarding this.

Bumped. Thanks for the help.
