k ... this has been checked into the roller_3.0 branch now.

i shuffled around a number of things, so let me know if anything appears to be broken.

one question that came up is what we actually want to name the final release bundle. namely, should the release contain "apache-" in front of it, which is how it works now, or is that not really necessary and it should just start as "roller-"? doesn't really matter to me, just makes the file paths a bit longer is all. this is what we have now ...

apache-roller-$version
apache-roller-src-$version

I think everyone agreed on this so I'm going to move forward with implementing it for the 3.0 release.

Does anyone care if I rename a few of the ant tasks along the way, namely things like "build-beans" -> "build-business" and other cases where I think the naming could be a bit more intuitive?

That works. I think that means basically separating the source and "binary" distributions.

Good point.  comments inline ...

Allen, I already voted +1, but I just noticed sources being combined in, and I had a couple of comments/questions.

(1) You might want to consider calling the top of the source tree something other than "src", maybe "sources" because I think we expect it to look like the top of the roller source tree does in SVN which itself contains several directories and files (e.g. "web", "tools", build.xml) as well as the actual "src" directory below it.

yes, that definitely makes sense.



(2) I hope there will be a source distribution that does not include the binary(?)

what's the standard here? i don't usually download the source distribution so i'm not sure what most people do, but it makes sense to me that downloading the source means you don't get a binary.



(3) Do we plan to include the (distributable) libraries that are under the "tools" in such combined packages?

seems like the best thing to do may be to remove the "webapp" directory and include a "sources" directory in the source distribution. in that case the "sources" directory would contain everything needed to build the war, including libs.

would that work?
