One suggestion for a project should it suit someone that seems just apt for here (and I think there is an existing codebase on sourceforge) is language extensions/support for ant.
For those of you not familiar with ant jakarta.apache.org/ant. Ant is a lot more pleasant to use than Makefiles. While its focus is Java currently, there is support for other languages being developed elsewhere. Hopefully one day it will be mostly out of the box. So you say "Gee I'm a C man...what does ant do for me"... ever paste a patch for a make file? Don't you love that "use tab not spaces" error... Ant is a painful build tool but about 99% less painful than make when it comes to non-simple things. C/C++/D could gain a lot from it! -Andy > no, forcing multi-language implementation is 'way off the radar, and > destry-on-sight as a concept. having a place where non-java stuff can > live alongside java *is* in scope and one of the goals. > -- > #ken P-)} > > Ken Coar, Sanagendamgagwedweinini http://Golux.Com/coar/ > Author, developer, opinionist http://Apache-Server.Com/ > > "Millennium hand and shrimp!" > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > -- http://www.superlinksoftware.com - software solutions for business http://jakarta.apache.org/poi - Excel/Word/OLE 2 Compound Document in Java http://krysalis.sourceforge.net/centipede - the best build/project structure a guy/gal could have! - Make Ant simple on complex Projects!
