What is their experience? I am starting to move to it. I am also thinking of some enhancements 1. For always download pom and license files if present. With "pom:boolean" and "license:boolean" flags to enable/disable this. License is useful, pom may be useful in future... 2. add a new magic property to let people override the ibiblio mirror for all their projects. 3. make the default library the same place maven stores their files. 4. implement Russel's suggestion of fileset+filelist type generation. ; plus whatever changes something to make it easy to turn the libs into the libraries in a WAR/EAR file 5. Better error handling if things fail. Like correct line selection of tags, maybe better diagnosis. Though what you can do when nothing is there, I dont know. I also think it would be convenient with my life if as well as loading ~/.ant/lib, that we had a properties file with my own customisations, say ~/.ant/build.properties That way I could set up things like proxy, maven repository, etc, in one place and have everything track it. I thought maybe we did this already, but couldnt see it in the docs or the source. -steve NB, there is some discussion in the repository mail list about future changes to how maven repository works -move to fully qualified naming "org.apache.xerces" -proper signatures no real progress or implementation yet, but it'd be nice if this stuff was coming together for ant1.7 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscribe@ant.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-help@ant.apache.org
