In the work I've been doing with Snapbridge recently, I came across a
rather neat GUI installer, that basically provides a front end to Ant.
Did anything result from this thread?

I'ld say we put this off until the situation with m2 and osgi has
stabilized. Heck, maybe our osgi implementation will provide a builtin
solution like [1] , meaning we wouldn't have to do much if anything at
all to have this.
I'd probably agree, now.
As background, I saw this installer that looked like it would make a
decent front end for the 2.1 build process. I looked into using it for
some of my own work. However, it turned out not to have the range of
functionality I needed (but would still have suited Cocoon well) - I had
to drop it and learn NSIS (which, whilst powerful, is ghastly in terms
of its scripting - scripting as if writing C, with pre-processing
instructions etc, gaahh) - hence I didn't find the time to complete what
I proposed for Cocoon.
If someone is still interested, I'll happily give pointers/ideas, maybe
even find the time to revisit and implement it myself. However, things
with OSGi/blocks are much clearer now than they were. Do we still need
to improve the user experience of building 2.1? What do people think?
