Glen Mazza commented on CXF-1509:
---------------------------------
I don't think you need to worry about this, for the simple reason that I don't
think we really need to have Ant tasks anyway. The <java/> task guarantees a
100% mapping between the wsdl2java options and what you can do with Ant (See
step #5, GenerateCXFWrapper, of here[1]). In addition, it guarantees by
definition identical option values between the command-line and the ant-version
([2]), and hence no additional documentation is necessary for us to maintain or
for users to read.
As for, "using Ant <java/> is more difficult than us providing our own Ant
wrapper", true, but you don't have to worry about that either, because the IQ
needed to work intelligently with web services is much, much higher than the IQ
needed to understand the Ant <java/> task. So you don't have to worry about
people being able to do the former but not the latter, because such people
don't exist. (Such a concern would be tantamount to worrying that a calculus
book is missing a multiplication table on the inside front cover.)
Finally, the % of people using Ant is decreasing compared to Maven, Eclipse,
and Command Line--I think Ant users can chug along quite happily with the
<java/> task. FWIW, personally speaking, I would prefer the <java/> task over
our own anyway, because I know its options are identical to the command-line
ones--i.e., I would have nothing extra to read.
