No, dont worry about that.
Anyways, what you are saying kind of worries me. I have no where to really post this then? I have a feeling this ant task is just going to end up being used by me because I can't put it in some open source repository to share it with others.
I actually really like the idea. You are not just wrapping some existing code in Ant, you are bringing a whole new stage to the build process -that of validating that bits of your project are separate.
As I said, I think a .class based approach would also be interesting, but it has the weakness that it doesnt detect imported constants, which could be an issue in some projects.
And, since you have tests and docs, it is more mature than many submissions. Ones without tests are always trouble as the author thinks they are ready to ship, but whoever takes on the role of committing the stuff ends up being responsible for the tests. Which reminds me, I have to write those tests for assertion support in Java :)
So I'll ask what other people think...
this is a self-contained task unlike most other tasks out there so I don't think it would be too hard to include it. People can still e-mail me for support which is why I put my e-mail there, or just assign me the bugs that come in or something.
How should I handle this then? I have attached the new task, which has the apache licenses. I formatted the code to the java standard, and I added about 5 tests. There are extra .java files for testing purposes which I put in src/etc also. I packaged it so it can be unzipped easily into an ant structure as long as you have workareas/ant1.5.4.(I couldn't figure out that part of winzip-winzip illiterate). I will file a bug and attach the zip file there too like the document you referred to me said.
thanks for all your input on this,
Dean
