The build-test thingy wont' get simpler because of this patch, because we want the build-test tool to record it's actions in fine detail, and the only way to do that is to do the actions individually. Therefore, calling some do-everything target is a non-starter as lots of important information will be lost, with the only gain I can see is saving 19 lines of code that we'd write once and everyone would use. it just hides information for no gain.
Sorry, I can not see any place where we hide information. Build logs will be available with the same details. Strictly speaking, nothing will change (except script simplification) - just some legal build sequence will be moved from external tool to the build system. thanks, Vladimir Maybe I'm misunderstanding your motivation?
Having that target in classlib is fine. But I can't see why we'd ever want to use it in the context that we are discussing it.... geir --------------------------------------------------------------------- Terms of use : http://incubator.apache.org/harmony/mailing.html To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
