I'll chime in on this one... The only issue I've had with building fortress (or other avalon projects) is that the build expects you to have everything set up as in CVS. Yes you can over ride the defaults, but that can still be a pain especially since the dependencies are often on other unreleased code, so you might as well just checkout the entire module and build it all. This works well, but that's a lot to check out. Granted, Fortress hasn't had an official release yet, but when it does I would hope that the source distribution doesn't require recreating the CVS environment just to build. IMHO the perfect source distribution would do one of the following: (1) include the dependency jars in a /lib directory (2) include a list of the dependancies with links or even better (3) download the dependencies if they don't already exist on the local machine (kinda like maven). I guess I'm talking more about building the eventual 1.0 source distribution than the current CVS module. Even still, a build system that can download would be nice (be it maven or ant "import-***" targets). just my $0.02 jaaron __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
