Folks, I am a big fan of Ant 1.6 feature that enables multiple modules to share common build tasks. This makes build files of individual modules much cleaner and less prone to errors. Unfortunately this poses a problem preventing us from including Ant build files into the source distribution of HttpComponents modules, as build files are dependent on a specific location of build-common.xml in the file system.
Secondly, I am about to start changing the SVN structure of HttpCore module in order to introduce sub-modules, which will also require a significant rewrite of build-common.xml and will make it even more complex. This all leads to believe that we will be much better off with self-contained build.xml and should do away with build-common.xml. The inevitable duplication of common tasks in individual build files seems like a lesser evil to me. What do you think?
