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.

I will point you at the project I work on by day, smartfrog, and its
evolving build process
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/smartfrog/core/antbuild/doc/third_generation_build_process.sxw
This is very bleeding edge, very complex. Its using the maven2 tasks to
share artifacts between projects, and to pull stuff in from the net. It
also uses ant1.7 import semantics (tuned since ant1.6), so some projects
only build on Ant1.7 (and java1.5, that is a side issue).

As and when I complete the second edition of Java development with Ant
(yes, I am behind schedule), there will be some sample stuff that does
it more simply. I havent written the target to zip up all the source
tree to provide an example, but I could do that in the next couple of
days if you'd like.
