(You will know better than me) Why not build scripts for all the jakarta projects? You have lots of projects and lots of dependencies.

I was also thinking that there is a lot of talk about scipts a methods of solving build problems. But there are very few examples of the problems the developers were trying to solve with the services provided by ant. Why not provide a set of examples of scripts that solve different problems. I am willing to submit some examples of how I solved my build problems to kick this off. Michael
