IMO, it doesn't so much matter that the Ant scripts can work, it matters what our customers want. Folks still seem to be using Ant and so we should try to provide that, but there is no requirement for Chris to work on it.
I don't remember a past discussion that concluded we could remove Ant scripts, but my takeaway of recent Maven discussion is that we are going to reconfigure some of the repos so that Maven-generated releases work the way they should and other folks can get the Ant scripts to work with that new configuration. So, I'm totally fine with Chris making major changes to the BlazeDS repo like getting rid of a lot of the stuff that isn't used or critical, I just don't want the Ant scripts removed from modules or the root so parts of them can be leveraged to fix up the Ant scripts when Chris is done. -Alex On 12/15/15, 1:58 PM, "Christofer Dutz" <christofer.d...@c-ware.de> wrote: >I couldn't get them to work and the user on the users list couldn't >either ...
