You could notice that I avoided to touch anything in webapp, since JF does a great maintenance job there ;) >> if ant build files could works, let use it. > >No, because then we will have TWO stupid build systems to >track and debug. Why should you get only one way to do something. Two builds methods are fine till there is people to update and maintain them. >> I'm like you and use exotic OS, OS/400, where >> autoconf/automake/libtool didn't works (yet ?). > >If autoconf/libtool doesn't work, then you can't even build >APR, you can't >build Apache, therefore you don't f***ing need mod_webapp, k? On AS/400, APR and Apache 2.0 are build by IBM, from snapshots with in-house cross-compiling tools, so they don't have to build them on AS/400. Apache 2.0 is present on AS/400 as a standard component. Currently you have on recent AS/400 something derived from 2.0.18 beta. The sad thing is that IBM didn't report the AS/400 specific patches they apply to a snapshot back to ASF. Now that 2.0.35 is GA, they will certainly make a new release. >> Each tool in java which could replace them is a >> big plus for me ;) > >Each tool which can replace them and is a PITA to maintain, or requires >hyperknowledges of XML and tagets, build properties and such, whose >configuration file is 40 lines to do what I do in 3 lines of >shell script >will always be a HUGE -1 from me... So why are we using ant in jakarta instead of smaller makefiles ?) ant is a great tool and it will be a PITA to avoid using it when it's a valid alternative to old like autoconf/automake/libtool/m4. ant is ASF after all and run on all OS, so it's a good reason to use it when possible. jkant (in jtc) is a good example of native-interaction module which boost ant... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
