Hi Ron,

I have searched through the Apache projects, but none of them seem to do anything like I am trying to do with Ant (i.e. project containing multiple WAR and JAR modules awith common build file which the individual module's build files import and override, plus a master build file that runs the same target(s) for all build files), or else, like you say, they use Maven.

I am interested in using Maven in the future, and when Maven 2.0 is released (not just Beta, with some of the plug-ins I need not available) I think this might well be the way to go. However, for the moment I need to stick with Ant, but I'm really struggling to find any examples - surely somebody out there must have written Ant build files along the lines I've mentioned???

Regards,
Lawrie.

Did you look at the Apache projects?
Many of them are using Maven which may be closer to what you want.
What about Ant itself?

Hi,

I need to put together Ant 1.6 build files for a project which will have an EAR module and several WAR and JAR modules. I ideally want to make good use of Ant 1.6 features such as import, macrodef and subant tasks to produce a common build file (which each individual module's build file can then import and override), a master build file, and a release build file. To avoid re-inventing the wheel, I have tried to find an open source project with suitable build files to use as a starting block, but I have not been able to find anything that fits the bill.

Does anyone know of an open source project with build files that would be worth me taking a look at?

Or has anybody already put together something along these lines for an existing project? If so, I'd be incredibly grateful if you could mail me a copy of these build files so that I could use them as a starting point to adapt and amend to fit my project's requirements. I know this sounds a bit cheeky, but I'd really like to avoid the unproductive effort of starting completely from scratch and re-inventing the wheel...

Thanks in advance,

Lawrie.
