I disagree with you. Documentation is very different from example |
| 14 |
applications and the like. The java herd is not the only group having |
| 15 |
problems with this. Look for example at the formidable example collection |
| 16 |
provided in qt. In most cases it is not necessary at all to compile them |
| 17 |
all (take quite some time), while developer docs might be interesting. |
