Not for Java stuff.
Look, this is the Ant build.xml file for Cocoon
<project name="Cocoon">
<target name="main">
<mkdir dir="build"/>
<javac srcdir="src" destdir="build"/>
<jar jarfile="cocoon.jar" basedir="build" items="org/apache/cocoon"/>
</target>
<target name="clean">
<deltree dir="build"/>
</target>
</project>
now, please, tell me: would any make be _this_ simple? ;)
I _strongly_ propose that we use Ant to build all the Apache pure-java
projects. For non-pure stuff, it might get trickier, but still you could
have ant called by make for the java part (as tomcat will do).
I suggest you people to take a look at it, if you haven't done so.
