design conventions for marking up the gump.model and modifying behaviour
------------------------------------------------------------------------

         Key: GUMP-103
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUMP-103
     Project: Gump
        Type: Task
  Components: Python-based Gump  
    Versions: Gump3-alpha    
    Reporter: Leo Simons
     Fix For: Gump3-alpha


A whole bunch of plugins will want to execute commands as part of "building" 
some project. What should be the workflow inside gump to make that happen?

It might make sense to have components like the MkdirPlugin and AntPlugin mark 
up their commands with the exit code, as well as output log and/or error log.

Then there might be a StateDetectionPlugin that looks at the state of all 
projects after the "builder" plugins are done, and sets a project 
failure|success|prereq failure state or something like that on the project 
itself, in addition perhaps having a "blame" list pointing at the commands that 
failed, sorting that in some logical order (if ant failed due to mkdir failing, 
blame the mkdir, not ant).

There could be several StateDetectionPLugins so we can try out different 
algorithms in dealing with success/failure. The key bit is to keep the builders 
and the like simple and preferably very linear in their behaviour, with little 
branching. The less they have to do, the easier it is to add new ones :-D
