Underlying functions? Explain. > > This document can serve as a basis for explaining the build process on the > website. This is the build process for the work contributed to RIVER-300: gradle build; gradle -q dist or mvn install The modularization approach is not based on a 'build tool'. It's goals are to organize the project into modules that produce a single artifact (as much as possible), use accepted and standard conventions for organizing a project, and to use project build technology that takes into account a project composed of multiple modules. Unfortunately Ant does not help out with any of these requirements. Dennis PS: Hav you looked at the contributions to RIVER-300?
