Producer/LayerProducer code changes

Hi, just committed some important changes to the code:

- Important: First layer now prints @ z=0 i.e. home position (previously @ z=extrudate height).

It's quicker and easier to tweak the nozzle to home position to the right height for the first layer, which was previously a bit of a hit and hope. Plus it's safer, at the home position the nozzle doesn't have to physically touch the bed, which it just about has to if first layer printing starts at z=extrudate height.

- Bruce's bug fix to stop extruding on dry segments! Hurrah!
- Included commented code for horizontal and vertical hatch vectors.
- Streamlined warm-up sequenc

Ed could you please post the reprap.jar file for this build for those of us who don't want to do battle with eclipse just to test out our machines.

Best,
Dan

Here is a copy of the latest host package I just updated it from source forge.

Perfect.

Hmm,

Does your preference dialog box display normally?
mine opens to just the toolbar of the dialog box. If I grow it by dragging a corner of the box all of the right things are there and I can edit them. This does not happen on the previous versions. The command prompt is also showing some new error messages complaining about not being able to find some preference settings.

Oh well.

Best,
Dan
