I am trying to get the u9WebStart GIT repository into an enviroment where I can see the source and build on it. I have dowloaded it, and can see and understand things like the asn files, but the src folder has a .cmx extension. I haven't encountered this before. 

I know I may just be behind the times here, but a little help with unpacking all this stuff into the environment I'm used to (Uniface 9.5) would be deeply appreciated. 

Regards, 

Iain

Knut is indeed correct: cmx is just an export of a component (the file itself is just a "normal" XML export)

The idea is that you import the src folder using either the Project Setup or the Version Control tool that is part of the Development-Tooling project. These tools can recursively read the src folder and import the included XML export files.

I hope this helps.
