Description swankjesse 2006-09-30 09:08:08 UTC 
I'd like to run Jackpot as a part of my build process, for example:
 - in a continuous build
 - before a release
 - on patch files from users

What are you trying to do with Jackpot?  Since it gives you the ability to make
potentially massive changes to a project, it is best used in an IDE where you
can review and select which changes to make, plus undo the operation if
necessary.  The rule of thumb is Jackpot is best if you are modifying
version-controlled source files, but use apt for error-checking and for creating
files which are generated with every build.  As of Java 6 (Mustang), apt shared
the same model Jackpot uses, but cannot modify the model or apply its changes
back to source files.

The old Jackpot module is no longer maintained. There is a rewrite in progress at: http://bitbucket.org/jlahoda/jackpot30/wiki/Home
