Build Project on the application. Everything else builds, and the
application runs. Using Ant to create a WOA (or WAR) for
deployment, though, I seem to need to run the 'install' target on
all the dependencies (and on any of their dependencies, in the
correct order).
I was fussing with this a while ago. The subant task was (IMO) the
way to deal with this. I mean, you still run the 'install' target on
all your frameworks, but it is automated from your main project's
build.xml using something like this:
<target name="install.projects">
<subant target="install">
<dirset dir="${projects.root}">
<includesfile
name="woproject/ant.frameworks.projects" />
</dirset>
</subant>
</target>
The ant.frameworks.projects includesfile contained:
WOPrototypes
DvisWOModel
WOJCKit
WOVaGen
...
Which are the names (base directories) of framework projects that my
main project is using. Naturally, each of them contains a WOLips ant
build file, containing the 'install' target.
The ${projects.root} variable is the Eclipse workspace in which all
these projects are contained.
Uhm, I think it works, I can't recall exactly. But lately everything
is always up-to-date and embedded in my main project's final build,
so I guess it does :D
Also, I thought Mike's new hotness deals with all this (though I
haven't switched to it, as I find myself happy enough with my current
building setup). Well, I guess I'll have to check it out sometime
soon...

p.s. - Mike, this should be easy to integrate into the existing
WOLips ant stuff, no?
