building adapters

[James M Snell]

So far we have JCR, CouchDb and Ibatis based adapters.  These are 
currently not built as part of the ant or maven build process.  It is 
likely that we'll get more adapters over time, each with their own sets 
of dependencies.  With the maven build it is obviously easier to deal 
with the differences in dependencies.  Things are more difficult in the 
ant build, however.  While it makes sense to have a complete build that 
compiles everything, I would rather not require that everyone who wants 
to build abdera has to download jcr, ibatis, couchdb4j, etc if they 
don't intend to use those adapters.  I am considering giving each 
adapter it's own ant build so each can be built independently.  The 
Abdera distribution build would build each of the adapters but it could 
be turned off.  The ant files for each of the adapters would be 
responsible for handling it's own dependencies.  Does that work?
