What do you think about the XML format used for writing Ant scripts? I don't
like it.
What about writing Ant scripts in a script language like Python or Jython
instead of writing them in XML? I think it would be much more productive.
There seems to be a private project for this, but i

Interesting religious issue there. I know a lot of anti-XML people, and
tools like rake, capistrano and puppet all use ruby as their language
for describing building or deploying stuf

Hans, I'm not sure why you've attacked Steve here.
I'm -pretty- sure he used the term "religious" simply
to convey to you the sometimes heated nature of this
discussion. Ultimately, as in the case of religion,

Maybe. What is your problem? Works for me... I use it programmatically,
though mostly through build files. But I like XML.

Hi Peter,
I narrowed it down. Indeed, your findings are correct for JDK
1.5 (or JDK 1.6 on my machine). Try it under JDK 1.3.1. That's when
it fails to find Junit.jar unless junit.jar is under
${ant.home}/lib. Not sure about JDK 1.4.x since I don't care to install it.

Hi there;
I run a deploy system using ant with sshexec and scp. My deploy consists of
sshexec calls to shut down running applications on remote servers, copy of
files via scp to remote servers, and then subsequent sshexec calls to start
up applications on remote servers.
My problem is that my a

I have been hacking at this problem for about an hour and I have to believe
that there must just be something basic I am missing. I am rewriting our
build scripts to be more maintainable, useful and faster. I am trying to

I think you may be making things too complicated for yourself.
Why not just compile each tree in situ? If you want you can compile them
into the same dest dir. You could even wrap the javac task in a macro
and just pass the source dir to this as an attribute. Then just invoke
the macro once for e
I reply to all of you here.
For me it does not matter so much, if Ant's XML is replaced by Python,
Jython, Groovy or another scripting language. I think all would be better for
writing Ant scripts than the XML way.
In the beginning of Ant, XML seemed to be a good way. But as it evolve
