Hi, A while ago there was an attempt to standardize build environments between apache projects. It was never that successful because of inter-project conflicts for various conventions. One of those conventions was the name of intermediate directory. Many projects use build/, others use bin/classes, bin/javadoc etc. However some projects (turbine et al) use build directory to refer to build scripts and descriptors and some designate bin/** as location of project specific tools.
Anyways a pseudo convention of using "target/" as intermediate directory has occured in commons/struts projects. Because this doesn't cause any conflicts and thus could be integrated into all apache projects (ignoring egos) I say we move towards it. The easier it is to build projects the more likely we are to see developers work with Apache. Anyways heres my +1 -- Cheers, Pete *-----------------------------------------------------* * "Faced with the choice between changing one's mind, * * and proving that there is no need to do so - almost * * everyone gets busy on the proof." * * - John Kenneth Galbraith * *-----------------------------------------------------* --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
