Jason, please pay close attention here.
I want you to justify in less than 10 seconds, what BM brings above and beyond straight ANT. Give me examples in JBoss. I am sorry to put you through this again. You know how I feel about "complex stuff vs simple stuff". Also we have a contracting agreement in place with FGM and I would like to take it to you guys to see if we can fund some of that "cleaning" up of the build system. We need ANT ON JBOSS (ANT+) on JBoss and if you funded some of that we would really allocate the resources to do it once and for all. If you are interested I can talk to Xandy. marc f > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On > Behalf Of Jason Dillon > Sent: Thursday, October 03, 2002 10:33 PM > To: Scott Sayles > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: [JBoss-dev] Build System... any ideas > > > Sorry for the delay... > > > Probably the biggest annoyance I have with using a > sub-module is that > > the ${project.root} property within the sub-module ends up > including > > the module above it instead of being the actual project root, so I > > have to define my own local ${project.root.local} property in each > > sub-module.
