Further development following the idea of custom row builder. Writing export-tools. #5

Adjust the code so taht it's more DBUnit like (Header, Interfaces starts with I). Created a BasicDataRowBuilder as a Super-class for custom rowbuilder.

Unfortunately there was a lot of whitespace-changes.

Create BuilderDataSetWriter and CustomRowBuilderGenerator together with an DataSetRowChanger.

Thanks for your pull request, @opensource21. A lot of good work there!

Regarding the copyright headers: So far this little project is not affiliated with DbUnit in any way. I am not a DbUnit committer, are you? Thus, I would not like to add those headers, yet.

BTW, I've tried to get the current code under the dbUnit umbrella here: http://sourceforge.net/p/dbunit/feature-requests/180/

Unfortunately, one would have to submit a patch for Java 6 and JUnit 4.11 there first. I'm not using dbUnit right now. Would you be willing to take this direction and submit such a patch there?

I added the header to make it easier to create later a pull request, but you are right, it's difficult because we must go back to Java 1.5, which I found too painful or must finish dbunit 3.x work. I was thinking about a project dbunit_ext, where such extensions could be managed. At the end I stoped this direction and only change my code so that it was backward compatible to your branch. I hoped that I can achieve at least, that there not exists 2 datasetbuilder solutions, which makes it difficult for further people to grab it and work on it. So to make it short: I will try to develop on the validation extension and host datasetbuilder in my maven rep, but don't have the time to work on dbunit. What do you think about an organization dbunit_extensions, where your repository can be hosted? Perhaps this way it's easier to get more co-worker?

BTW: Why you don't use dbUnit anymore?

While I would prefer getting DataSetBuilder into dbUnit core, your suggestion sounds like a good idea to keep things from getting worse. Let me know about your next steps.

Shall we close this pull request?

BTW: Why you don't use dbUnit anymore?

I don't have a need for it in my current project. We use Hibernate for persistence and don't have too many complicated SQL queries.

At the weekend I tried to forked the dbunit-git-repository. Unfortunately, I got an error from SF. So I do it old school, clone, branch and create patch-files. One for java5 and one for junit 4. I will see what happens. Would be great if dbunit code would be hosted at github and get more contributions. I dislike the idea that each person writes some wrappers.

I would let the pull request open as long as the situation isn't clarified.

@opensource21 I've create a separate issue to track progress on getting dbUnit integrated into dbUnit core over at #6. Let's continue the discussion there.
