[forge-dev] Running/Building on Windows

[Max Rydahl Andersen]

not sure how Forge handles with this but in Hibernate tools I struggled with the same thing that the output that is mechanically generated gets easily "ugly" over time or on various systems.

It took ages to maintain and sometimes the code to generate got horrible too. The way I ended up fixing it was to make sure using proper carriage-returns and for those things where that did not fix things simply apply a java formatter for java and jtidy for html and xml on the generated artifacts and voila all such problem disappears ;)

this is of course only a good solution for artifacts that is generated fully by forge - not when doing incremental changes such as adding a method to an existing class.

I tested on Windows XP and Windows 7 and found that, while Forge builds fine if the tests are skipped, doing 'mvn clean install' fails while running the tests for the Parser/Java module in both cases. Is this a known issue that I somehow missed?
