I don't think we've had many clear conclusions yet. I'm happy with the current helloworld-contribution sample [1], and i quite like the possibilities of samples distribution, there's a built distribution showing the type of thing that could look like at [2]. Both of those currently only have Maven builds. If Ant builds are really needed they could be generated with "mvn ant:ant" which creates builds that download dependencies from the maven repo, or they could be done some other way, perhaps a separate Ant distribution. The more we talk about this the less i like the one big all distribution that tries to work for everything. It seems to make everything really complicated and odd so i'm starting to think its better to seperate things out so they can be done in the most appropriate way. ...ant [1] https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tuscany/sca-java-2.x/trunk/unreleased/samples/helloworld-contribution/ [2] https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/snapshots/org/apache/tuscany/sca/distributions/tuscany-samples/2.0-SNAPSHOT/
