So, are you a "Gump guy" ?
 

As Leo said, all the ASF committers can be Gump guys (or girls). Let's 
say that I got
trapped into focusing on Gump because I am dreaming of getting the ant 
documentation
generated automatically by Gump everynight. This led me into chasing the 
different projects
which are dependencies of xml-forrest of of velocity-dvsl and which 
fail. velocity-dvsl is
the current renderer of the ant xdocs proposals, and I am dreaming of 
replacing it with xml-forrest.
And since I wanted - like you - to understand better how gump is 
working, it is even
bringing me to learn Python so that I can understand and patch gumpy. 
gumpy is the python
version of gump, the one on use on lsd.student.utwente.nl/gump. I need 
to help make gumpy
more platform independent (currently it is difficult to make it run 
properly under Windows,
because gumpy uses some shell programs of UNIX such as cp, rsync, cat).

Any help in this area is greatly appreciated, especially since Leo Simons 
"may" lower his involvement around here.

 

There is an active Gump community - if you ask a question on the gump list,
currently [EMAIL PROTECTED], will be renamed soon because gump is 
becoming
an Apache top level project - you will almost certainly get answers.

The aim of gump is to check that a number of projects can build against
the head revision of each other,
in order to avoid a "jar hell" situation.
   

This much I figured. But the site docs have a large gap between "purpose" and 
"details".

 

I agree, I had to hack my way also to figure out where is the gump 
descriptor for avalon.
(used find . -name "*.xml" | xargs grep avalon)

Now for all practicall purposes, could you try to check in my patch ? :-)
   

Applied (not that I know why this is needed...)

 

Thanks for applying the patch.

Stefan Bodewig figured out that we needed this mkdir [1] [2], he thinks 
that a path containing some classes is not
incorporated into the build classpath, because at the beginning of the 
build the directory does not exist.
I do not know gumpy enough yet to confirm/infirm, we will see tomorrow 
if we got anywhere closer.
