Developers
If you're interested in building DPR from source code, using DPR with your own code, or contributing to DPR's development, you're in the right place!
Source Code
The easiest way to obtain the DPR source code is to download the latest compressed source tarball from Sourceforge.
This is the source release for the current version and is well tested.
The very latest source code is available to be checked out of the public CVS repository at Sourceforge. This has the advantage of giving you access to any recent updates to the code, at the cost of slightly more effort on your part and the risk that the code may not be stable.
Build instructions are available at the documentation page.
Bugs
Please help us improve DPR by letting us know if you find something that doesn't work. Try to give us as much information as you can when you report an issue. The sorts of things that can help are:
- Operating system (e.g. Windows XP, Ubuntu Linux, or Mac OS X Tiger).
- Java version (i.e. 1.5_06).
- DPR version and build (look in Help -> About).
- How did you start DPR? (e.g. clicked on dprclient.jar or via command line java -jar or java -cp).
- What was DPR doing at the time of the problem?
In order to fix a bug we need to be able to replicate it, so the more information you can provide the better chance we have. If you can, include any sample files and/or screenshots of the bug.
To report bugs, register your issue at the Sourceforge DPR bug tracker.
Thank you!
Feature Requests
If you would like to see a new feature added or if there is an aspect of DPR that you believe could be done better, please let us know. Again, if you can supply samples or screenshots, we will better understand your requirements.
To request a feature, complete a request via DPR's request tracker at Sourceforge.
And finally, enjoy!
