Oh, and let me add that I've committed it to Centipede CVS, and it's working nicely.
btw Nikola. I need you to enlighten me.
I'm just getting out of my cave, Centipede has been mentioned for a very long time but I just recently took the time to go the the web site, and I have a hard time really understanding it compared to maven. what it does, what it does not and vice versa. (No I did not install anything yet).
Well, first of all Centipede is changing in these days to use the new Ant embed proposal... anyway, here is a brief description for a knowledgeble person, who you are.
Centipede is concretely an Ant distro, with already present in the lib dir the new embed proposal, jxpath (used in the proposal), ant-contrib and jjar.
I took the ant scripts, changes *ant* to *cent*, ANT_HOME to CENTIPEDE_HOME, and that's it.
So the core motor of Centipede is Ant+embed proposal, and any normal Ant project can be run by Centipede.
The real core of Centipede is a buildfile that projects can <import>, and that gives common services: it downloads the project required libraries from a repository using JJAR, downloads, expands and executes Ant plugins called Cents, and makes available information for the project from Gump's project descriptor.
The Cents are simply buildfiles that can be imported, along with the libraries and resources they need.
For example, the JUnit cent has the JUnit jars, the Junit style stylesheets and a buildfile for doing common unit tests.
Each cent already knows where to operate because I enhanced the Gump descriptor with the info needed.

Currently we are refactoring to use the embed prposal, since before we used entity includes and antcalls.
Apart from that we will be soon ready to roll another beta and make Gump runs avaliable.
