I've tagged as Release_2_2alpha0. Brian Zimmer updated the zxJDBC classes.

I've got a jython22a0.class file built, but it doesn't quite work. 
It prompts for the OS (didn't know it could do that), then fails to load 
os.properties (from where?
I don't know yet).

Getting the liftoff installer to work is no trivial feat. I'm not sure 
if the liftoff installer
has just regressed since Finn used it last, or if he worked around all 
these issues
to get the installer out. The build scripts, etc., are broken in 
miscellaneous ways,
some obvious (missing % symbols) and some less obvious (failing to copy 
files).

Here are my notes so far (personal notes, so don't expect much 
readability!).

Note the caveats at the end.

I hope to have a functional installer sometime this weekend.

Building jython:
ant dist

# if you ever do ant clean, you'll need to do
# cvs upd -APd 
# to get back the PythonGrammar* classes (clean removes them)
# unless you've installed javacc

--------------------
Jython tests:
# you'll need ~200 MB of RAM + swap for some of these tests
# If using a JRE, need to add a path to a JDK's tools.jar
# set JYTHON_JAVA_ARGS -Dtoolsjar=d:/pipeline/products/jdk/lib/tools.jar
# The javashell test is sensitive to other output from your jython script,
# and to multiple layers of script wrapping.  Best to ensure that
# $JYTHONCVS/jython is the first 'jython' in yuor PATH.
export JYTHONCVS=d:/kb/jython_src
export PATH="$JYTHONCVS:$PATH"
cd $JYTHON_CVS/Lib/test/ javatests
javac -d .. *.java
cd ..
jythoncvs testall.py

#### before complaining that tests don't pass, make sure that you're running
#### with the CVS version of Jython!

Postgres on NT notes:

MySQL on NT notes:
net start mysql

double-click on MySql, enter connection info, OK
as a SQL query, enter:
create database ziclix
then press the "play" button.  Don't expect any feedback...
(could also just create a ziclix directory under the mysql/data)

Building liftoff

Make sure you get liftoff CVS.
Here's how to build it:

liftoff=d:/kb/jython_3rdparty/liftoff
cd $liftoff/src

CLASSPATH="../lib/ant.jar;../lib/xml.jar" ant -f bootstrap.xml
CLASSPATH="../lib/ant.jar;../lib/xml.jar;../lib/LiftOffAnt.jar" ant

# MODIFY ../data/builder.properties to change the /home/andi/projekte/
# to d:/kb/jython_3rdparty/ (or wherever your liftoff tree lives)

# MODIFY build.xml to copy .gif files in compile-builder
<copydir  src="${src.builder}"
              dest="${build.builder}"
              includes="**/*.gif"/> 


CLASSPATH="../lib/ant.jar;../lib/xml.jar;../lib/LiftOffAnt.jar" ant


--------------------
Building Jython's installer

cd $JYTHONCVS
python installer/mklist.py >  installer/liftoff.filelist

# UPDATE the product.version in liftoff.props (to something -custom)
# UPDATE the destination.package_prefix (to something appropriate)
# UPDATE PySystemState.version (to the something -custom)

java -Ddatadir=$liftoff/data -cp $liftoff/lib/LiftOff.jar 
net.sourceforge.liftoff.builder.Main

File|Open
installer/liftoff.props

Create|Class

OK

The mouse doesn't "click" some buttons in the "Builder" GUI (use 
Enter/Space), and if you
get a NullPointerException trying to do File|Open, just try again. (!?)

--------------------
Caveats
- I just compiled it with whatever java compiler I had handy 1.4 
something (will this be JDK1.1 compatible? no?)
- On windows, so no readline library (how?)
- just grabbing almost all the .py files from the PyXML distribution

- this has a mixed bag of all the Python 2.2 modules, except those
with specific Jython counterparts.  There will be library files that
don't work.  Let us know about them.

- The installer .class file built by this process doesn't work yet - it 
starts up, prompts for the OS (!),
then fails to load os.properties
