Sorry to barge in in this thread, but it worries me when Ant (or one of its potential successor and/or extension) starts depending on other projects (from Jakarta or elsewhere), themselves built using Ant...
I personally think the Ant core engine should be stand-alone, and thus built completely in isolation. Then additional layers depending on other projects could be built in the proper order, hopefully through some kind of Ant-lib mechanism. That entails that the dependent projects can be built using a partial Ant though. Or am I just missing something? --DD -----Original Message----- From: Peter Donald [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 25, 2002 4:31 PM To: Ant Developers List Subject: Re: [embed] Standalone release ?

I had a separate profile to do it. Basically I bootstrapped ant1.x then built all the required libs (ie bootstrap-excalibur-tar and bootstrap-excalibur-i18n), built myrmidon and then rebuilt all the libs (including excalibur-i18n and other bootstrap jars). There was a bit of duplicity but seemed to work well. -- Cheers, Peter Donald --------------------------------------------------- "It is easy to dodge our responsibilities, but we cannot dodge the consequences of dodging our responsibilities." -Josiah Stamp --------------------------------------------------- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
