Not really ;-) GUMP works fine. I'm not trying to replicate it. I'm trying thru other means though to build a project so that all its dependencies are correctly fetched (if needed) and used. It's more similar to Maven in that regard, while retaining the flexibility to use whatever ant build you need/want (just becomes a utility to simplify/help writing your build).
Hey, that's what Centipede does/wants to do! That's why I wanted info about this, why duplicate things? I would simply substitute Centipede's version with this subant.
A GUMP-like build could be achieved with <subant> and what I'm trying to do,
but minus all the reports.
Wanna use Centipede? ;-)
Like I said, GUMP works fine, and we're using it (in a limited fashion), so rewriting it is a waste of time IMHO.
Who ever said that... Centipede projects run well under Gump. That's not my goal, as it's not yours.
I just don't want to duplicate functionality between your code and ours.
PS: I'll post the new <subant> with <buildpath> within a few weeks.
Ok.

This is a completely different issue that I'm addressing independently.
<subant> is not meant to replace GUMP. Its purpose is to build projects in
a
given order. It doesn't dictate the classpath used by these projects at
all,
like GUMP does. Each project is on its own to configure its classpath and everything. What it is guaranteed is that its dependencies have been built before if is built (provided that project's build is called by a higher level build thru <subant>. --DD
Yes, I ACK this, but I'd like to see if I can /use/ subant to have Gump-like functionality.
For example, if you added an interceptor system right before each call, I can do everything I like before each project call. In this way I can subclass subant and make a "gumpant" task, that would be used by centipede.
Does this make sense?
