Toolset
The grits CVS module contains all of the third party jars required to build and run the grits web application. However, there are still some third party tools required to actually build and run grits, such as an installation of the JDK, the ant build tool and a J2EE container to deploy the grits web application to. This is outlined in the following sections.
XDoclet is used to maintain the many configuration files required by the tools used by GRITS (for example, Hibernate). The use of XDoclet is importnat because it keeps all of the information abount an object (for example, it's database mapping information) in one place where it belongs, namely the Java source file itself. The XDoclet distribution is very modular and has its functionality distributed across several jar files, which allows a project to use only the subset of functionality it needs. we need We currently use XDoclet to generate
