Yes. I agree. Jon and I had a battle.
In our build script, I made Ant (via the dreaded CVS-included jar :) go
checkout the style.vsl from jakarta-site2 CVS. No entire directory
dependency. Automatic and easy. Geir 1, Jon 0.
The problem was that I didn't spend enough to make it happen only if an
update was needed, so it resulted in a fresh site.vsl every time, and
therefore a full re-rendering of the docs/site. Geir 1, Jon 0, everyone
else -1.
That was a pain, and I conceded back to Jon's way. Geir 0, Jon 1,
everyone else +0 (cuz you had to go get jakarta-site2, but its fast,
up-to-date, and efficient)
I still want to make it easy - so that other projects can start using it
w/o any real effort (besides tossing fitfully in their sleep because it
isn't a Standard(tm)(R)(c)(sm).
