Hi Leone, This is interesting. I don't think a full port of the Generator would be feasible, but of course you can *drive* the Generator through Ant (just like Charles suggested in his post). Our current build process is based on Make, and since Ant can use shell commands, it can use Make. You still have the dependency to Make, but apart from that the integration with any Ant based build environment should be flawless. Also, I think most Java IDEs would let you configure build commands to directly invoke Make. Once your Makefile is in place, it's really as simple as 'make source', 'make build' and 'make api', but YMMV. qooxdoo 0.8 will have a significantly different user interface, and the underlying infrastructure shall be completely Python-based. It uses Json based config files to drive the Generator and the ultimate goal is to remove the dependency from Make (and other external tools as well). Still, you will have the invocation through shell commands, so Ant integration will be similar on that level to Make, just a different config file and command line arguments. Let us know how you fare. Thomas ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
