Hi John,
Regarding the launch file that I committed to doing, I have continued to
investigate other ways for getting Braille Blaster on the Mac to compile easily.
If we are using Eclipse to compile, the launch file looks like the best option,
but if we use Ant, there are alternatives that may work better for Braille
Blaster.
I will continue to investigate this and will keep the list informed.
Regards,
Alex,
