I think we all agree our build process needs to change. There's a fellow I work with - Matt Seibert - who has been toying with the tests part of the build - making tests individually runnable, turning tests on/off easily, adding tests easily, etc. Matt should have something working in his sandbox by next week and he'll present it to axis-dev when it's done.
Russell Butek [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Steve Loughran" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on 05/22/2002 07:23:33 PM Please respond to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: "axis-dev" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cc: Subject: [PATCH] ant build file still ugly hmm, its been about a week since I pointed out that the main build.xml was in trouble because -it uses <property location> instead of <property value> , so paths work property in sub-builds you run in their subdirectories -it didnt have the descriptions that ant1.5beta1 requires when calling -projecthelp This patch is a repeat of the previous patches, with all changes incorporated into the build file. EVERYTHING STILL WORKS This is not a complete rework of the build process, it is baby steps towards a robust build file tree. As such, the changes are minor; there is nothing to fear. Since my last posting was so completely ignored, I am going to open this as a defect so you cant so easily neglect it. Also I will keep reminding you, and if nobody has fixed it in a couple of weeks I am going to a) assume that you are actually happy with the current state of the build process, to the point that even baby steps are untenable b) stop trying to fix it c) update the ant documentation to cite xml-axis as how not to structure large projects, probably in the Ant in Anger paper. Maybe I'll do this in time for the next Ant1.5beta Your choice :) -steve
