http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=34138 ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2005-03-24 23:36 ------- TO be honest, we dont get any complaints about kaffe's non greediness, except at bootstrap time, because we the shell scripts that boot ant arent kaffe-friendly. you cant boot ant with kaffe, and its not something anyone is (currently) motivated to fix. We get a lot more complains about "ant compiled files I excluded", "javac filesets broken", etc, etc, with compilers pulling in files that are needed, but explicitly excluded. IMO, forced inclusion might actually be a good thing all round, as it stops you accidentally importing app.view.* into app.model.* and so break layering rules. I guess tomcat is a special issue, because it uses ant for javac, but isnt your normal build file. other things may be similar (eg Axis). This leads me to another thought. Could we have a new compiler adapter "best-effort" that does the right thing, perhaps with an ordered list of preferred tools: apt,modern javac, classic javac, jikes, kjc, ... ). So if tomcat and axis ask for the best-effort compiler they get whatever is around, not just classic javac. So we would be putting the smartness into ant, but hiding it in a compiler adapter that could be switched in or out. -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
