[x3d-public] concern over sourceforge as repository

[Don Brutzman]

More progress.  Successfully tested and deployed new X3DJSAIL build last night.

Looking in the lib directory now, I think I better understand your concerns about how files there are handled.

Updated README.lib.txt:

- Currently X3D schemas, DTDs and stylesheets are copied from master versions
   (maintained separately) to ensure latest working versions are included.
- Intent is to be sure best copies are included, deploys do not include any
   lib assets with known errors (though test development may be in progress).
- Updated lib copies are periodically checked in, reflecting updates here.

https://sourceforge.net/p/x3d/code/HEAD/tree/www.web3d.org/x3d/stylesheets/java/lib/README.lib.txt

Previously I was not checking those lib copies back into subversion on a consistent basis, thinking that you were using the online deployment.  If instead you were using subversion, that could have been the cause of different outputs during testing.  Sorry about that, if it occurred.

Looking forward to getting any further changes you might have, there is time today to carefully integrate them.  TIA.

I think you mean "message" describing each change.  Yes that is a good practice that helps collaboration.

Netbeans and X3D-Edit plugin work nicely with subversion for this project!  Am also using Netbeans/X3D-Edit for editing X3D and HAnim specifications on github.

Hope everything is now working for you too.  Onward...  8)

Additionally, am only making schema changes that are discussed first by X3D Working Group (and usually documented in minutes/mantis).  Additionally I have to keep it all straight in my head as we evolve these complex tools.
