This is also related to what IMHO is another "problem"; the size of the
build.
To correct my hack of duplicating properties in builds for not
requring dependency, I have succesfully put the init target in another file
and have all builds reference it as an external system entity.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE project [
<!ENTITY init-target SYSTEM "init.xpart">
]>
and
&init-target; <!-- external reference to init.xpart -->
Before submitting any further patch, I would propose to to split the build
as follows:
build.xml (main build entry; contains following targets
as SYSTEM entities and compilation+jar-war generation)
/tools/build/init.xpart (init target)
/tools/build/optional.xpart (optional components related targets)
/tools/build/xml2java.xpart (xml2java generation related targets)
/tools/build/docs.xpart (documentation+javadoc generation targets)
/tools/build/dev.xpart (dists+patchqueue+fixsrclf targets)
/tools/build/interactive.xpart (interactive target)
/tools/build/scratchpad.xpart (scratchpad target)
/tools/build/try.xpart (new targets to try)
For scratchpads, I propose that each scratchpad subdir represents a
scratchpad project, as schecoon does.
Each sub-dir should have its own indipendent build.xml that can be run as a
try target (see current build.xml as an example) and, when ready, included
in interactive scratchpad builds for all to test.
