Well, let me analyze it: The only class with dependency to Ant is DocletTask. So if you create a new AntlessDocletTask class and handle things Ant does for us (such as configuration, creating nested subtask elements and configuring them, the Ant properties, invoking javadoc and stuff like those) you can cut off XDoclet's dependency to Ant. It's especially possible for a GUI tool to go straight to it and not via Ant. For a command line tool used by end users it's harder, for user I mean because instead of build.xml we should let user pass in many config parameters (destdir, pattern, which subtask to be included, blabla) as arguments.
I suggest you to wait a bit till xjavadoc is used in xdoclet, then this job of creating an Ant-independent version of XDoclet will become much easier. Then someone may volunteer to implement this AntlessDocletTask class :o) Ara. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:xdoclet-devel- > [EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Vincent Harcq > Sent: Thursday, March 14, 2002 10:01 AM > To: 'David Jencks'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: [Xdoclet-devel] New ejbjar subtask > > Hi, > I remember Ara saying that running xdoclet out of ant was not possible, > I dont know the reason though. > Xajadoc will be there in one week now so wait until then is maybe better > than fight this javadoc problem. > Regards, > Vincent > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf > > Of David Jencks > > Sent: jeudi 14 mars 2002 4:12 > > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Subject: Re: [Xdoclet-devel] New ejbjar subtask > > > > > > <snip of all previous interesting content> > > > For the JBoss geeks this is very similar to the (too) wonderful > > > ScopeDeployer of Dr Jung but this would be all containers > > compliant. > > > David, I think you are working on a Jboss xdoclet-deployer and I am > > > not sure the overlap that will exists with what you are doing > > > > > > Vincent > > > > I wrote some stuff for a jboss xdoclet deployer but got stuck > > with class visibility problems.
