Hi all, A lot of java packages are now build with ant and I feel like it'd be a good idea to have common practices with ant. The recent idea comming with the proposed Jetty package (debian/ant.properties file) is an example of good practices we could use.
I'd propose to conform to dh_* and use something like debian/ant or debian/package.ant file where properties can be found. We could set some classpath properties if upstream does in the build.xml or (but I did not test it), setting the java.class.path property. Also, as it was done in the Jetty proposed package and mentioned by Stefan: javac.debug=on javac.optimize=on build.compiler=jikes We could also put in this ant properties file a property like: build.file=build.xml dh_ant could parse the properties file to catch the location of the '-buildfile' location. So with the proper debian/package.ant file, we could call it like that: dh_ant -ppackage target [target] ... Where package is the name of the package to build (used to find the package.ant file) and target is (are) the target passed to ant Any comments appreciate, best regards, -- Arnaud Vandyck http://alioth.debian.org/users/arnaud-guest/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
