ant-contrib.sf.net normally gets you there. Otherwise, you can try JPackage (http://www.jpackage.org). Download the source or binary package (at your leisure) and extract it with rpm2cpio (if you download in RPM form - as I have never worked with Debian, I don't know how to extract a .deb package). As to why so much code is needed... Well, not that much if _AND ONLY IF_ you use ant-contrib to its full extent, as Erik demonstrated, and which is why I wish that someone undertook the effort to fully integrate ant-contrib into base ant (which, again I don't have the skills to do). Even less code would be required if ant knew how to manipulate bit masks ;) and if it had builtin capabilities to do arithmetic - which it doesn't. And that's where make is at the same time better and worse: make can "make" full use of whatever utilities are available on a Unix platform, and such a feat would have been MUCH shorter to achieve with make and the appropriate tools. OTOH, make is a Unix "legacy" tool and pretty much assumes a Unix environment and all its goodies (spell: printf, find, cp, tr, expr, sed, seq, and yes, even the goold old cp, which is much more powerful for some tasks than anything ant, and others... And, of course, the shell and all of its programming abilities, which ant doesn't match at the moment) and won't work well on non Unix-like environment, unlike ant. -- Francis Galiegue f...@one2team.com Ingénieur système Mob : +33 (0) 683 877 875 Tel : +33 (0) 178 945 552 One2team 40 avenue Raymond Poincaré 75116 Paris --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@ant.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@ant.apache.org
