Thanks for your support. We've made a patch of ant-core to introduce some concept used by easyant. This patch :
- introduce "phase" concept : A kind of target that contains *ONLY*dependencies, useful to make build modules easily reusable in a standard build (more infos at http://easyant.abrm.info/trac/wiki/tasks/phase ) - introduce two different kind of import (what we call use / extends) : - import extends : Equivalents to the current import task (The terminology "import" could thus be used either for "extends" or "use", each being a subclass of import.) (more infos at http://easyant.abrm.info/trac/wiki/tasks/extends ) - use : A way to import ant file using "namespace" ( more infos at http://easyant.abrm.info/trac/wiki/tasks/use ) - modify project-help to display phases separated from targets (We'd need to make the help more helpful, by classifying targets, or hiding some of them maybe with different levels of help => not yet implemented) You can see this patch at http://easyant.abrm.info/trac/browser/trunk/src/main/patches/ant-697121-easyant-patch.diff Feel free to give us a feedback on our patch or on EasyAnt.
