I see your point. But this argument has been made on the Turbine list as
well. It would make maintaining the build files easier if we could
remove the .sh and .bat files. It is also easier to supply command line
parameters when running Ant directly (e.g. -projecthelp). In my opinion,
the scripts should not:
1.) Mess with environment variables.
2.) Manipulate the class path.
3.) Set which compiler to use.
If I remove all these things the scripts would do nothing more than call
Ant, which means that it could just as well be done from the command
line.
Although I've not been involved with the Jestpeed project for very long,
I think the scripts were originally used to address the deficiencies of
Ant. Most of these deficiencies are now gone. Anybody else have some
thoughts on this?
Thanks.
