Maintaining Ant builds.

[matthew.edwards]

Gavin, I have been trying out the JBoss IDE. The packaging ability of it is pretty good--really simple to use. Do you think using it might make the ant scripts easier to maintain?

It would be easy enough to create an ant script with the IDE and then import that ant script into each example project--like how you have Seam setup now except that the IDE UI could help modify it when needed. Feasible? likely?

I dunno, I have not checked that out.

By the way, yesterday Thomas and I cleaned up the build A LOT, so this is no longer an urgent issue.


Still, it would be very nice to have tight integration between Eclipse and the Seam builds. I realise that people are reusing our build scripts...

The JBoss IDE won't let you factorize targets between examples (unlike we currently do)
