-'''Note''':  There is currently a concurrency problem in the class loader which can lead to multiple Saxon Configuations, which should be a Singleton. Check for any 'Externally supplied NodeInfo belongs to the wrong Configuration' messages during startup or a first access. If this happens restart the server and check again ... the concurrency bug doesn't happen that often.

+ ''Developing the General Interface frontend''
+
+ The GI Builder application basically only runs on Internet Explorer. If your primary OS isn't Windows you'll have to install one in a VM. In general you can get access to your ISOcat codebase using some form of shared folders. If not you need a checkout of the [[source:cats/ISOcat/trunk/mod-ISOcat-interface-gi]] !NetKernel module and the [[http://www.generalinterface.org/|General Interface 3.9.1]] Debug edition. The frontend codebase in mod-ISOcat-interface-gi uses {{{http://isocat/}}} as the base for the application. In the Windows VM you'll have to map this to the host machines IP address. Add the mapping {{{your-ip-address     isocat}}} to {{{C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts}}} (you'll need administrator access to change this file).
+
+ '''Note''': You'll need to update the Windows {{{hosts}}} file anytime your IP address changes. Also when your machine is offline and you don't have an IP address GI Builder won't have a way to reach the ISOcat backend. (If you find a solution to develop the UI offline please add the trick to this page!)
+
+ '''Note''': If Windows is your primary OS you'll still needs to map {{{localhost}}} to {{{isocat}}} in the hosts file to let GI Builder contact the ISOcat backend.
