E.g. if you want to have only one compile target, but be able to generate both debug and non-debug builds, then you need to invoke the compile target from within the build target manually and overwriting the properties there (debug=on etc.). This somewhat defeats the purpose of refactoring because the resulting script is actually harder to read than the original one. > I agree with documentation generation point though: when developing ojb you > don't have to have forrest install, so docs build related checks and targets > should be better isolated from code builds. Personally I think that somebody who really wants to build OJB from source can be expected to fetch the relevant dependencies (which are not much, really, only those that we cannot - from license or size reasons - distribute them with the ojb src archive). Also I'm in the process of reworking some of the tutorials, and I'll add a short tutorial on building OJB from source which should make this easier.
