Just a brief note.. I'd love to see what you've done via Ant as well & would encourage you to post it somewhere (JIRA / GitHub). There are easy ways to embed Ant as a dependency (so folks don't even know they are using Ant behind the scenes) and using the Maven Antrun plugin.
So, I wouldn't disregard the work just cause it uses Ant to get things done. The longer term installation goal is really just to simplify the number of dependencies needed to install DSpace. But, as mentioned, since Ant can be embedded we may be able to still use what you've come up with so far. - Tim On 11/22/2012 7:03 PM, Steve Swinsburg wrote: > Hi, > > Yes, consolidating build tech would be a good step forward.
