Hi, I finally got a dev box at home again and spent the night patching and fixing the proposal in between Simpsons and eating ;) Hopefully I will have a bit of time tomorrow afternoon to do the same. I was going to clean and then have a shot and prototyping a few different ways of separating out the Configure->Template->Build stages in builds. I was thinking about using XSLT for template stage (as I know that) and wonder what you think would be best for Configure stage.
Ways of doing Configure include; 1. tricky target manipulation combined with available+condition style tasks (ie what would be done in ant1 minus "doing" work). 2. (1) combined with addition of evil if/then/case/foreach tasks 3. Use some preexisting scripting language to test and set properties - possibly combined with parts of (1). I favour 3 atm and was thinking of using either jython or rhino as scripting base (mainly as I know both of them). Anyone have any better ideas ???
