the command-line shouldn't need any arguments. > I hope your tool will not use installed jars in any way ;-) I will get back to you on that. I'll keep it in mind, but shouldn't be a big problem. There is a handler for dependencies, which I need to teach some Gump tricks, possibly including generation of the Gump descriptor at some point. Btw, the reason for this whole experiment is that I am somewhat tired of XML scripting languages, that are hard to maintain, slow to run and in case of Maven too shakey under the hood. So it started out as a small project to see, "How hard could it possibly be to do the build system in Java?", and to my surprise not that hard at all. Well, I'm ~6-7days into it now, and have far more than I could have imagined (compile, jars, site generation, dependency resolution/downloads, and jar repository uploads), and it is so 'fast' and fun to use, that I have grown very fond of it. With no XML, things fly ! We'll see what the destiny holds for it.
