Re: Re: [platform-ant-dev] Contribution of Planty

[Alf.Schiefelbein@xxxxxxxx]

Uploading a zip-file with bugzilla doesn't seem an easy task. I did not
find
the option to attach a file. And attaching a file with the size of 600kb to
a
mailing-list doesn't seem a smart thing to do either.

Therefore I now contribute the code of Planty 0.9.1 by sending you the link
to
download it from:
http://www.gebit.de/download/planty/Planty_0.9.1_contrib.zip

Subject to contribution is only the code that originates from GEBIT.

The contributor is GEBIT.
The main implementor is Alf Schiefelbein (me).
The code that parses the Ant docs for extracting the help texts is from
Henrik Jaakkola (also GEBIT).
Author statements can be found in every Java file.
All code that originates from GEBIT is licensed under CPL. The license is
included.
The zip file also contains the DTD Parser (dtdparser1.19.jar) that is
necessary to get it running.
The DTD Parser is licensed under LGPL and therefore not subject of the
contribution.

greetings, alf
