Request: Split the Ant files of Seam Examples

[fperedo]

Hi!
I just want to request one thing:
Split the Ant files of the Seam Examples

(It is hard to understand how a Seam project is built... but it is even harder if you also have to understand the huge ant file that is needed to build all the examples)

I think that having independant ant files for each example would really make it easier to learn Seam (specially if you are not an Ant expert)

Thanks

Use seam-gen to generate a standalone build.xml for a Seam project. Really, it's two commands you need to type in...

Yes, but the thing is, that if I get errors after that, I cant be sure if I configured something wrong... but with the examples, I a can be sure that they "must work"... no?

[christian.bauer]

All seam-gen basically does is generate a build.xml and few directories with default config files. Of course if you change something with those files it might break. How is this different from the example you want to have, which you then copy and modify?

I really like the ant build system that they've built for meldware over at buni.org, it's pretty neat! I'm (in more less sane moments) thinking about suggesting we do something similar for Seam (except for the fact that I'll get told to do it :p)
