Could you explain why you don't resonate? Is it that you fear complexity? We're used to Centipede and Maven for some project we've done recently and our experience is that indeed a modularisation as I've proposed is quite complex with bare Ant as building tool but tools like Maven and Centipede are very helpfull for these kinda projects. We just need to make the step beyond Ant. > I think that we should *NOT* try to bite more than we can chew for 2.2, > let's avoid doing everything in one huge step or this will take us > another 18 months to release 2.2 and this is going to hurt us badly.

If you suggest starting with just more or less core code why not move to another build system we can build a modularized system upon? > 2) remove fake block machinery from the build system of 2.2 Again, choosing another build system will help here as well. > 3) implements real block in 2.2 I assume you mean 'real block infrastructure'. -- Giacomo Pati Otego AG, Switzerland - http://www.otego.com Orixo, the XML business alliance - http://www.orixo.com
