Personally I think that all of you who are against this behavior are crazy. I would be insane too if I had to specify the location of my build file every time too... so I guess I can understand that a little.
I am fine with backing out this change, though I think that it would be better to make it optional and not the default action. There isn't any reason why a build system can not be easy to use and simple at the same time. I have pretty much given up on helping this effort due to the ultra-purist nature of the developers. I tend to consider myself a purist, but you guys take the cake. Though I would rather help add useful features to an open source project, rather than making private modifications, it seems clear that this group is dedicated to producing a system for different user needs. Perhaps once there is a simple and powerful way to add features to Ant (with-out having to maintain a private version) then developers can be free to include/exclude the functionality that there environment demands. With respect to 'Searching for build.xml ...' I say, back out the change and let the inevitable mutations of searching wrapper scripts continue. --jason On Mon, 6 Nov 2000, Diane Holt wrote: > --- John Hempe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > EEK!
