Or, if you prefer, centipede could have options to "gen and run", or "run without regening".
Such profiles could even reference multiple projects, and could automatically build each in the correct order.
And power users could define workspaces that include multiple profiles, and provide override as appropriate.
Welcome to Centipede's view.
Actually it would be a bit different.
cvs co jakarta-avalon

I had at one point included Jenny in Centipede to run gen at every project descriptor change, but other things needed to be in place to make it run.
So now the goal for me is is:
- centipede builds a single module.
Dependencies are traversed if the projects are in the same module,
and centipede builds them in the correct order.
Outer-module dependencies are automatically downloaded.
This is a use-case for excalibur.
- centipded builds mutliple arbitrary modules.
A user defines a set of modules (a workspace).
centipede all projects, downloading jars for projects not in the workspace.
This is the use case I need for my clients.
I think supporting this middle ground will cover both ends.
The default workspace is ./module.xml The max workspace is gump.xml + ./module.xml + others
I think what we con do from centipede is modify gen.sh (probably in jenny) Instead of dropping is project when a dependency is not found. add the depenency as installed package and use ruper(or something) to get the download the jar.
- Centipede shall have a feature that it can automatically install a working Gump system with the local Centipede projects. The user can then tweak as wanted, and compile every local project from local versions using Gump. Thus building also non-centipede projects in the process.
