I mentioned before, that if we use antrun here, that it will cause
other antrun executions to fail since plugins are only initialized
once, and some plugins need to add some additional dependencies.
Its also much more difficult to support executions of individual
steps using antrun.
Best bet is to use something external... before it was /bin/sh... and
now its gonna be Ant. I think that is better that /bin/sh and batch.

Jason,
Why not use the ant-run plugin for maven instead of a build.xml?

I've whipped up an equivalent bootstrap.xml, testing it now...
if it works as expected I will commit it, and a bootstrap and
bootstrap.bat that will invoke the build.
Then, everyone needs to have Ant 1.6.5 installed (and ant
available on
the PATH) and Cygwin is no longer required.

Oh, didn't think about it. Are you really suggesting to use Ant
beside
Maven? It's getting too complicated to just get started. When do
you
think bootstrap will go away? Is it worth to talk about it any
more?
Jacek
I hope this is not taken negatively...as it is not meant that way...
I think it is worth talking about, especially when we think
bootstrap
will go away. I respect Jason's disdain for Windows, but it also
is the
most used and most popular OS...which means it probably represents a
large base of our community. :)
IMHO, if we are to continue with the bootstrap, then I think it is
reasonable to support both *nix and Windows. No...I am not
volunteering
as I have other things on my plate, but I think if Mark D. wants
to take
on supporting the Windows side, I cannot find a negative in this.
What I
do not think is reasonable is forcing any user to have to install
Cygwin
(even though I love it) to build G on Windows. Cygwin is a
fairly large
install and I have been at companies where one is forbidden to
have it
on corporate machines.
So, my point is, if the bootstrap is short lived, then disregard my
opinion ;-) But if it's gonna be with us for a while, lets allow
the
Windows bat version if Mark is willing to support it...or find
something
(like ant?) that will make it work on our most popular OS systems.
