Ant is not a typical project, as Maven isn't. Both are at the top of the food chain so to speak. I think primarily projects are interested in 1) making sure they have their act together internally 2) trying to build their entire project from source and if all that is easy they might find some time to lend toward grand build from source. And I'm sure there are people interested but currently don't have time (myself included). > > But I think it would be fairly easy.

There hasn't been a project yet I haven't been able to split up in a reactor. I've also been looking at Axis as I'm trying to help replace Sun libraries in the ebXml project I'm working on so I'm getting familar with Axis. > - Sam Ruby > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- jvz.
