[jsdl-wg] JSDL Generation Tool Available

[Mark M. Morgan]

Oxana,

You are completely right about the "Arguments" problem.  I introduced a bug 
with a last minute change I made before committing it.  I just checked in a 
fix for the bug as well as updated the download jar so you should be able to 
download the new one and it will generate the arguments as expected.  As far 
as SRM and GridFTP goes, Andrew is right.  We don't support those because 
there is no use case for them here at UVa, but it wouldn't be hard of course 
to add them.
