Maybe you are right, maybe you are not. I am honestly just trying to help, but if the Axis team does not want this kind of help I will step aside no problem. I appreciate you listening though. Like I said previously, I will probably use Maven to do my builds. I also think it makes some general sense to split up the component builds from the main code too. You are the committer! I am not!
Cheers,

Dan,

I think you are *way* overstating how hard it is to build axis. And using this as an excuse for not helping fix/enhance the code is just lame.

Step 0 - get the jar files that are required
Step 1 - run 'ant' from the top level
Step 2 (Optional) - run 'ant all-tests' to build and run the tests.

The reason we have lots of build files is so each of the functional tests can be compiled and executed independently. This was a requirement on the work done to revamp the test framework, as before we built the whole thing in a glob, and ran them all. We found out that the new way works great for debugging a single test (as we hoped), but slowed the build/run time *way* down. Hindsight is 20/20.

In any case, I appreciate your volunteering to help. But as I said before, we need smart people to help on the CODE very badly. We need a new build system like we need a WSDL2Fortran plug-in.
