> Sounds too good to be true Steve ;-) Yes and no. [...] There are some posts of the DPML support list [1] related to the native subject which may be relevant (including some demonstrations of how to achieve this). [..] Just initially I would Think that runtime concerns could best be addressed within the scope Of the DPML Station (a JVM instance management system) [3].
Thanks for the thorough answer Steve. I do need to check out Depot+Transit+Station. I like the distinction between build/runtime/test artifacts. I wanted to implement it, but always stopped short of it. My own approach to dependency management was very process oriented still, with the Ant build being fully in control. I just added the transitive dependency management directly within the build file, and generated the build artifacts and meta-data using the Ant build as well, and the publishing too. Using this approach, pluging in to any Continuous Integration loop (CC or else) was trivial, since all the dependency management was integrated in Ant builds. Ant remained the main driver. Also leverages the Ant integration of IDEs right away. It was a different approach. Probably not as clean, but pragmatic. --DD --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
