I suspect Stefano meant more from the owners, not all the Gumpmeisters 'cos we are a caring bunch. ;-) We've noticed all you've achieved ...

The way is it (was) meant to work is on types "maven ant" (I think this is the goal, to get a build.xml) and "maven gump" to get a Gump descriptor. These then get check in, and the rest you know. I beleive Stefan knows of a reason why some <mkdir entries often need to get things to work, but that can be step two. BTW: We do now have Gump (at least Gumpy) building via Maven, and I'd like to see it tried on something real. This occurs when <maven is used instead of <ant in the descriptor. http://lsd.student.utwente.nl/gump/jakarta-gump-test/gump-test-maven1.html http://lsd.student.utwente.nl/gump/jakarta-gump-test/gump-test-maven2.html Unfortunately if one sets a dependency on <maven -- not actually necessary right now, one doesn't get a build: http://lsd.student.utwente.nl/gump/incubator-geronimo/incubator-geronimo.html http://lsd.student.utwente.nl/gump/incubator-geronimo/incubator-geronimo_details.html#Definition > I am also wondering whether we should not define some gump best > practices for ant build files of individual projects : Not a bad idea, we could add it to this (intended to be Gump best practices). http://gump.apache.org/metadata/practices.html > *A good build file (for gump) is a simple build file* You know, I so agree! All Gump ought need is compile & jar -- and it if wouldn't destroy Stefan's ant regression testing tool I'd be tempted to have Gump write the build script on the fly, from the information in the metadata, and forget any complex build tools. regards Adam --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
