Oh, I believe you - we just need to see this verification somewhere.

That's great.

You need at least one committer's attention - and currently seem to
have the one of Martijn and mine, so that part worked.

If anybody of us is convinced the patches are a good thing even though
we can't test them, we'll commit em to the sandbox.  So if Paul could
verify things are working (in Bugzilla or here), that would help
tremendously.

I don't expect it to be released because I don't expect three people
to vote with +1.

Even we managed to get three people to vote on a release, there
wouldn't be any reason to wait for Ant 1.8.0, we could still release
it separately.

EasyAnt 0.5-beta1 released !

2009-03-06 Thread Jean-Louis BOUDART
The EasyAnt project is pleased to announce its 0.5-beta-1 version.

 Easyant is a build system, that is based on Apache Ant and Apache Ivy.

Our goals are :

   - to leverage popularity and flexibility of Ant.
   - to integrate Apache Ivy, such that the build system combines a
   ready-to-use dependency manager.
   - to simplify standard build types, such as building web applications,
   JARs etc, by providing ready to use builds.
   - to provide conventions and guidelines.
   - to make plugging-in of fresh functionalities easy as writing simple Ant
   scripts as Easyant plugins.

To still remain adaptable,

   - Though Easyant comes with a lot of conventions, we never lock you in.
   - Easyant allows you to easily extend existing modules or create and use
   your own modules.
   - Easyant makes migration from Ant very simple. Your legacy Ant scripts
   could still be leveraged with Easyant.

 This version focus on :

   - a module for jetty-deployement
   - a module for documentation (based on Xooki)
   - a module for repository management (ie. Install new artifacts / copy
   artifacts from other repo)
   - a module allowing a user to create / retrieve skeleton of project
   - a module and a associated build-type for OSGI bundle creation.
   - a module providing SVN features (not yet implemented)
   - a module providing Groovy features (not yet implemented)
   - documentation / javadoc
   - a new ant tasks that allow a "plugin writer" to document with
   compatible core version for a given plugin
   - Few enhancement:
  - A few pattern properties (with default values) to tune what should
  be included/excluded during Compilation/Packaging etc...
  - Each modules have a dynamic classpath based on what is included in
  the plugin 

For recall, as the project is still in an early phase, easyant plugins are
still unstable and can move on next releases.

Issues should be reported to:
http://www.easyant.org/trac/

You shouldn't resolve any of these bugs in bugzilla before the patches
have actually been applied to Ant's code base - you lose visibility to
the committers.

  

I have changed the status accordingly.

A Starteam Antlib that could be released separately from Ant would be
the best option, but we'd have a hard time getting this released for
the same reasons that you have a hard time finding anybody to apply
your patch - no current committer could test the code.
  
The starteam antlib has already been created (present in sandbox) and 
should be released together with ant 1.8 (as in 1.7 starteam is still 
part of the core)
