Be careful, Ant scripts are not makefiles... A friend embedded over 80 build files in his source tree, because he was used to makefiles.
One usually has a single Ant build script per project, most often at the root of the project. Since build.xml is the default Ant build script, one doesn't have to specify the -f or -buildfile switch on the command line. Putting the Ant build script at the top level is important, as everything can then easily be defined relatively from this point (see the location attribute of <property>). Does that help? --DD -----Original Message----- From: Patricia Watt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, November 26, 2002 10:39 AM To: Ant Users List Subject: Naming build files Hi, A fellow here at my work seems to think it's desirable (best practice) that all build files are named simply "build.xml". And hence that they'd have to be stored in appropriately named directories in the source hierarchy. Any opinions on this? Thanks for any comments.
