Ok, so I'm really getting fed up with these build discussions, and if we don't give it a break they will continue to grow.
Some people here are not satisfied with our build system, and advocate Maven. I definately agree with the first part, and am, for technical but also for historical reasons, very much adverse to the second one.
Thus, from this point I am now taking on myself the task of restructuring our Ant buildsystem to make it seamless and easy to use and administer. In this process I will also make changes to Forrest and use extra Ant tasks from Incubator Depot.
For this I need a branch, as I don't want to break anything and in the same time I want all to see what is happening with the progress. Actually this is why I asked for switching to SVN in the first place.
So, let's all cut a deal: we move to SVN, and then I will rework the build on a branch. If someone else wants to, he can do the same with Maven or whatever on another branch. After this is done, we can have a vote and decide which buildsystem to adopt for Cocoon, and finally get over with it.
Deal?
No, first somebody has to explain to me what's the problem with the current build system.
