Notea about getting JGuiGen installed on SourceForge. I ran into two "issues" while moving a new project to SourceForge as a Subversion version control project. 1. SourceForce wants a Subversion dump file to start with which menat I needed to place JGuiGen into subversion locally. I created a repository using the Tortisesvn client. I imported the files into the repository and checked them out again. Then it was time to create the dump. TortiseSvn doesn't create dump files so I needed to use the command line. No problem. The instructions said use the svnadmin tool to create the dump file. The issue came with figuring out what folder to be in when I ran svnadmin. I finally found out that being in the main repository folder worked. That seems like a strange place to work from but it worked.

2. The instructions on uploading a new project said to use scp and copy the file to scp FILENAME.ZIP USERNAME@shell.sourceforge.net:/home/groups/P/PR/PROJECTNAME/FILENAME.ZIP

I tried this and it didn't work scp jguigen.zip Halepringle@shell.sourceforge.net:/home/groups/P/PR/jguigen.zip.

What they don't mention in these instructions is that the "P/PR" are the first letter and first two letters of our project name. This worked scp jguigen.zip Halepringle@shell.sourceforge.net:/home/groups/J/JG/jguigen.zip.
