Hey Guys,
Hey Aaron can you elaborate a little more? I think I get what you're
saying but I'm not sure.
Here is a follow up explanation.
Currently, in our Hackystat system we store the sensor jar files in a
directory in hackyBuild/lib/ant. To install or update the Ant sensors we
run a command called "ant updateAntLib". This moves the jar files to the
Ant lib directory. With the introduction of HackyInstaller we shouldn't be
storing the sensor jar files in the hackyBuild module.
Therefore, it would be really useful if the HackyInstaller program could
implement an Ant task that automatically checks and updates our
sensors. To implement this, we would need to make a new package in the
view component of the HackyInstaller program that implements the Ant
tasks. Basically, it is another "view" component. This would allow us to
use HackyInstaller without the Swing view for our Ant sensors. I personally
think this is a good idea because it will make sure that the sensors are
updated uniformly during our build process. Otherwise, we would need to do
it by hand on HackyDev machine.
Of course, there probably is an Ant task that can run command line
executions from a jar file. If so, then we wouldn't need to implement an
entirely new view component.
It sounds like we might end up with our original problem which was all
sensors are not the same.
I think you misunderstood. It has not thing to do with the actual sensors.
Its just another interface for HackyInstaller. In other words, a way to
streamline the updating of sensors for our Build process.
thanks, aaron

Hey Guys,
I was thinking, now that we have a MVC design for hackyInstaller, how about
making an ANT task "view" component that will update and/or install various
senors? I think this will be a nice solution to the "sensors in the
hackyBuild/lib/ant directory" problem.
thanks, aaron
