[stringtemplate-interest] StringTemplate V3.2 for .Net framework -template caching problem

[Florin Dumitrescu]

This is an embarrassing question, but I have never used Fisheye before and
after searching for 15 mins in the documentation and on the internet I
couldn't find the answer for it. How can I download the project from your
Fisheye repository? (I can see how to download individual files, but not the
whole project)

Best regards,
Florin
