What? How did you get the idea that everyone has to use AntHill
to build Geronimo?
You, or anyone are free to use any tool you like to build Geronimo
in any fashion you prefer. I have just found that the other build
automation systems available do not have enough features to fill
all of the different build and automated testing needs which we have.
Jason,
Will be really great to have regular builds running again (not to
mention new testing plans in the works). Thanks!
Although I agree that John was a little off-base, I can see how he
might have gotten there... I think you could be a little more open
to questions and slight misconceptions as people start to
understand AntHill and the new automated build... Good news is John
is looking at it... ;-)
I'm always open to questions...
While I was a little shocked that such a conclusion could be drawn
based on reading the mail I sent... there was no tone to be inferred
by my response whatsoever. I responded with some questions to why
the conclusions were drawn... perhaps there was something specific in
my initial email which lead him in that direction, if so I'd like to
know what those specifics are so I can clarify them.
I'm now a little bit disturbed that you now think that based on my
response that I am not open to questions... which I really can't see
how you came to that based on the words I used in my response.
Why is it that if I don't write emails with happy smily faces all
over them that people automatically assume that I am closed off,
irritated or unwilling to listen to other opinions. I am certainly
open to any comments... though I will more than likely respond to
them... in the same non-smily style.
But, for sake of clarity...

:-P

While I'm on this thread, is the AntHill license specific to the
Apache Geronimo project? Or a general for Open Source project use?
I think it would be a good idea to notify the project and/or pmc if
we are obtaining licenses for use by the project...
As I mentioned in the initial email, the AntHill license is very
similar to that of JIRA or Confluence... they grant licenses for use
by open-source projects.
I had hopped to get a more perfect and complete system before I
brought this to the community... though I'm not sure that would have
mattered much. Probably more that the tool is not open-source is why
you even mention this. If I did something similar with CC or
Continuum no one would even mention it. Too bad neither of those
tools is comprehensive enough to do the job though... but maybe if we
wait for a few more years they will be closer.
:-P
Maybe I need an apple mail plugin to randomly insert emotions into
mail so that folks don't think that I am being harsh...
blah... email really sucks as an effective communication medium.
