I guess i worded it wrongly .. i wasnt talking about putting this file in build.xml.. what i was talking abt is to make changes like mailapi being required and probably removing all unless="attachments.present" in compile since they are anyway going to be present. any comments ?
I will put all this in building-axis.html with changes from steve and dims in building-axis.html.

In the build file we can just point to this document. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Vidyanand Murunikkara" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, November 20, 2002 19:47 Subject: RE: Few questions on the build Hi I finally managed to get most of the build working. But there were things like which version to use and where to start that always trouble me. Also after seeing this thread someone had mailed me about the difficulties he had faced while building axis and how he had abandoned that idea. So I guess making a small documentation to talk about building axis is required. It is there in Developer's-guide. But it is kinda outdated. So i am attaching a step by step process of doing the build. Also included is the recommended version for each of the required/optional components. I would realise appreciate if you can take a look at this and say if it is ok. I will then go ahead and make the required changes to the docs/build.xml. Thanks Vidyanand.
