I am searching for documentation about ruper. I found this http://krysalis.org/cgi-bin/krywiki.pl?Ruper
I see that the ruper task depends on common-vfs. If we use Ruper for
antlib,
which can be very good, then we are making ant core dependent upon common-vfs.
I have been working with Ruper recently (doing some reworks on it) and the commons-vfs dependency is not my favourite thing. Ruper uses VFS (IMHO) because of the many "file system/transports" (from WebDAV to others) --- but then proceed to use HTTP 99.9999% of the time. Seems a bit like a sledgehammer for a walnut...
I am game to attempt to make Ruper switchable, i.e. it'll work over commons VFS if provided, or simply the HTTP stack inside a JDK.
Excellent. +1
BTW: One can get a view at dependencies from this :
http://cvs.apache.org/builds/gump/latest/krysalis-ruper.html
but most of the dependencies are for optional extras (i.e. CLI for command line tools.) The main dependencies are Krysalis-Version (no dependencies of it's own) and Jakarta-RegExp (something I might remove) and Commons-Logging (optional.)
Ok, if you can do this:
1 - move CLI to a separate "project" 2 - remove if you can Jakarta-RegExp 3 - definately remove Commons Logging
Sorry I can't be more of help ATM, I'm really deep into work over here at... work ;-) and at night I hack on python Gump :-D
