So Erik… “How did you get accepted by Google AdSense,” you ask?

Well, I don't really know. But here's what I did.

As you know, when I submitted my site I was flat out rejected. The form letter I received indicated that you could respond with additional URLs for re-submission. I replied with pointers to my blog and Vicki's website. I was only allowed to apply for www.thauvin.net, so I figured they might not have checked any further.

A couple days went by. No answers.

I then decided to revamp the site's main page with a little bit more information on what was available here. I figured the old page was probably too “personal” for Google.

I then e-mailed Google again asking what the hell was going on with my re-submissions. Less than a day later I received a response. I was finally approved.

My thoughts. The person that originally checked my site didn't look very far. They might just have seen the word “weblog’ and dismissed it. Who knows… I'm sure glad I didn't give up.

BTW, did you know that GoogleAds are also language sensitive? Check this out. Cool.

I do things a little differently.

My JAVA_HOME is pointing to JDK 1.4, e.g: C:j2sdk1.4.2. I also created a JAVA_OLD_HOME variable for JDK 1.3, e.g: C:jdk1.3.1_08.

To compile under JDK 1.4, I put the following in my build.xml files:

<property environment="env"/>
<property name="jdk.dir" value="${env.JAVA_HOME}"/>
<property name="boot.classpath"
  value="${jdk.dir}lib ools.jar;
    ${jdk.dir}jrelib t.jar;
    ${jdk.dir}jrelibi18n.jar;
    ${jdk.dir}jreclasses"/>

<!-- Compile target -->
<target name="compile" depends="bootclass">
  <javac srcdir="${src.dir}" bootclasspath="${boot.classpath}">
    <classpath refid="classpath"/>
  </javac>
</target>

To compile for JDK 1.3, I simply set ${jdk.dir} to ${env.JAVA_OLD_HOME}.

I just need to make sure that my environment variables are updated when I upgrade the JVMs, but I never have to modify any of my build files.
