Hello Stefan,
I wondered about the following :
how does the .NET antlib relate to the .NET tasks already existing in
Ant's codebase ?
Sorry, now doing my homework. The .NET antlib contains
* dotnetexec <cid:part1.09080503.04090701@gmx.de> - run a .NET
assembly that's in your PATH. You can chose the framework that is
going to be used - defaults to Mono on non-Windows platforms and
Microsoft's on Windows.
* nant <cid:part2.00060805.03010608@gmx.de> - execute the NAnt build
tool.
* msbuild <cid:part3.05010203.02000403@gmx.de> - execute the MSBuild
build tool, untested.
* wix <cid:part4.07060200.06030002@gmx.de> - execute the WiX
toolset, untested.
* nunit <cid:part5.03050106.01030607@gmx.de> - execute the
nunit-console.exe NUnit <http://www.nunit.org/> test runner.
The existing .NET tasks are
- csc Compiles C# code
- vbc Compiles VB.NET code
- jsharpc Compiles J# files
- ildasm Disassembles .NET executables and libraries
- ilasm Assembles .il files
- wsdltodotnet Generates .NET code (C# or VB) from a WSDL file
- importtypelib Imports a COM type library into .NET
So the .NET antlib is a complement to the existing .NET tasks.
I guess if there was a vote or a poll concerning the .NET tasks listed
above, Stefan and Steve would also be interested in maintaining them,
and it is unclear whether
other committers would be interested too.
So (b) is my preferred option.
I would be interested to become a committer if I was using .NET myself
in my project,
which actually could happen.
Cheers,
Antoine
