Hello, anters, i'm a complete newbie to ant, but not a newbie user. i've just been given the task (no pun intented) of converting our company's make-based builds into ant (~2500 classes in 500-some-odd packages). i've searched high and low and can find no tool for generating a skeleton build.xml for an existing dir structure. i refuse to believe that developers actually create that stuff from scratch by hand all the time...
i tried out antidote (CVS version, as of this afternoon), but it (apparently) doesn't offer a way of building a skeleton build.xml. So, my quesions: a) is there a tool for this? b) where is it? i keep running into dead ends and "obscure hints with no hyperlinks" in all of the docs i've come across so far. i don't mind writing such a tool, i just find it hard to believe that nobody's done this yet, and even harder to believe that i can't find a reference to it. i'm hoping that this question is like the question "how do i set up a CVS server?" and that the answer is simply so simple that nobody has ever bothered to document it anywhere. (PS: i'm a typical lazy programmer who refuses to do by hand what a computer can be coerced into to doing for me. :) Thanks very much in advance, and take care, ----- stephan Generic Universal Computer Guy [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.einsurance.de Office: +49 (89) 552 92 862 Handy: +49 (179) 211 97 67 This email is encrypted with ROT26 encoding.
