ahh. > I am a little worried about this making it more difficult for new users to > checkout excalibur and start using it though. Me too. I once proposed the following to the rest of ant-dev but no one was interested. Basically I create a binary distribution of ant and commonly used libraries so that users just need to download the "Ant Developers Toolkit" and start using it straight away and don't have to worry about all the icky classpath stuff. Basically it would consist of the latest ant that contains "preinstalled" versions of latest * xalan * ant * junit * xerces (or crimson) * jdepend * ... No one -1'ed it over in ant land so I can still do this. Would this be enough do you think? If not can you think of something else that doesn't require putting ant in CVS ;) > I needed to do the following: > Download and install Ant. > Download and install the optional jar. > And download and add the following jars to the ant/lib directory: > junit.jar, junitperf.jar, xalan-2.2.0-D13.jar, xml-apis.jar junitperf.jar shouldn't be needed ... but the rest of them are. junitperf.jar could probably be added in wherever it is needed. It is an unfortunate "feature" of ant that these need to be in the same classloader as the rest of the task. > Anyway, I backed out all the work I did today to get things working with > the framework ant.
