I appreciate I could easily find out, but somone may know already. My ideal-world scenario would be for ant.1.4.1 to have son-of-stylebook in it. Given that is not going to happen, we have to have Mavern, Centipede or our own Cocoon based fork of Ant. Now, I am against forks of Ant, and look forward to the day when it is possible to tell Ant 2.0 that we are supplying extra taskdefs in a particular dir (containing .ant archives). Some time a year a go there was a pan-Apache change of stylesheets that mean that the once-working <title> stopped working. Soon after teams began to hack the first <s1> into the title rather than fix the missing title support in the stylesheets. We fixed it properly here in Avalon (though it became yellow for a year). I would not want to use switch to a tool that puts is back in the <title> dark ages. I would perfer a tool that retrofits vanilla Ant 1.4.1 with extra functionality - i.e. the minimum of value-added Ant jars in one or more CVS nodes. >>Proposals >>--------- >>- Put the latest Centipede beta (which includes useful stuff like >>Forrest) in jakarta-avalon cvs, and start generation of our website >>using it. >> >>- Add new features to the website (jdepend, junit, etc) offered by >>Centipede incrementally. >> >>- Slowly migrate parts of our build process to be managed by Centipede, >>where this is possible. +1 (given concerns about vanilla ant and most importantly <title> - Paul -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
