This module is essentially empty. It contains no useful code or data, but serves as a template for creating new modules. One can create a new module by: 1) make a copy of the template >> svn cp module_template my_module 2) change module name in several files: ./module.properties ./java/unit_test_info.txt ./unit_test_info.txt 3) create your own useful content Other material found in this template - there is an ant build file ./build.xml to build java code. It copies the resulting jar-file to the directory bin. You can also add external java resources in ./java/resources/ and external native libraries. ./bin_external/ This template contains a small java class and unit-test. It is small but fully functional. ./java/src/org/openda/NothingUseful.java ./java/test/org/openda/NothingUsefulTest.java There is also an external test case in the directory tests ./tests/run_test.sh
