[x3d-public] X3DJSAIL progress report

[Don Brutzman]

X3D Java Scene Access Interface Library (X3DJSAIL) supports programmers with standards-based X3D Java interfaces and objects, all as open source.  Updates are all checked in and deployed.

	http://www.web3d.org/specifications/java/X3DJSAIL.html

Multiple programming "deep dives" have successfully produced lots of updates.

- fixed test-file overwriting that caused misdirected/camouflaged errors.

- Improved a number of tests including round-trip comparison of output files using ant target stylesheets/build.xml#test.X3DJSAIL

- MFString quote escaping now appears to be correct and consistent between .x3d creation and .x3d via DOM loading; JSON also looks OK.

- properly utilize containerField values when loading via DOM.

-  added X3DObject.toStringXML() and various object-constructor methods.

- As requested, setting XSLT_ENGINE now added in current build as part of X3DJSAIL.properties file. Can be invoked via CommandLine interface as well.

I certainly hoping that quoting is finally passing muster!  Tricky business for sure, will persevere to fix further if needed.

As ever, test reports welcome.

Have fun with X3D Java programming using X3DJSAIL!

all the best, Don
