Perhaps thats what Maven does now, it has been a while since I looked at it. Last time we tried it Maven was ideal for building and publishing java libraries on the net but our requirments go in a different direction. I know that prior to Ant 1.6 there were xslt ant file generation scripts that did stuff similar to Ant Macros. Could these be used to generate ant scripts from a project configuration? What I want to be able to do is to get the developers to describe the filesets for the source code and the dependencies between components and other config stuff and the build meister to write the build process using Ant. I get the feeling this is almost possible with macros. Any suggestions welcome, Donald. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscribe@ant.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-help@ant.apache.org
