The OpenEdge Hive

I am scheduled to do some Prolint consulting, starting mid-October. We will be setting up Prolint on a server, where it will monitor file changes and generate reports as a batch-style process.

My hope is that I'll be able to start them off right away using the new proparse.jar rather than the old proparse.dll. This means I'll have to move fast on a new version of Prolint.

I'm about to create a new branch in the prolint repository called “101c”. My idea is that this will not only be the branch where we change Prolint to use the new Proparse API, but this will also be a permanent branch which will always work with OE 10.1C. In other words, when 10.2 is released, we would create a new branch of Prolint which would be able to take advantage of 10.2 language features (like garbage collection, yeah!). The old 101c branch will remain intact.
