For http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TUSCANY-1608 I've put in a change, based on the ant generator plugin, to bring some automation to the process of building the ant files for the samples and demos. For any sample or demo that requires explicit dependencies, e.g. the webapp samples, I've replaced the static ant file with and automatically generated one. In the case that some hand crafted ant script is needed, for example, to generate SDOs, then I have the ant generator just build build-dependency.xml which has the dependencies listed and which can then be included in the manually generated build.xml script.
I haven't applied this change to all of the samples but it could be done. If we did have all of the dependencies explicitly described for all of the samples can we get rid of the "all" and "manifest" jars? Simon
