I think we mention buildr --help somewhere in the document (or maybe it's in the install guide). I think that listing the available tasks would just add extra noise though. You were the one who wanted to trim things down! :-) > One developer said it would be helpful to show, how artifacts can be > defined from locally stored jars Not difficult to do, but again: is it worth the extra material? To show this, we need to at least give a cursory explanation of artifacts-as-tasks, otherwise the instructions will be black magic. The question araised if buildr has any support for archetypes. I said > that's not the case, right? Nope, no archetypes. Given that it is so much less verbose than Maven, archetypes are not quite as critical. That might be an interesting feature to add sometime in the future, but it would probably require a better Maven converter. Daniel
