Pete,

Thanks for trying out the ant build scripts.

Regarding core.dir, you're right, the name will need to change. I can do
that no problem.

As for the "tuscanySCA.root.dir" : Your suggestion will work if you only
execute ant from the root directory, but not if you execute ant from the
runtime/core/src directory. That's why I put it in the
platform.properties, which is accessed by all build.xml's. Its better
ant coding style to have anything that needs to be configured in a
properties file, not in an ant build.xml file.

As for the platform.properties file for windows:
The property platform can/should be removed, its not necessary. If the
property "platform.compiler-definition" is set, then that value will be
used for the compiler selection, else it will get set to msvc for
windows as can be seen on line 18 of compilers.xml.

I think the way this should ship is to have several platform.properties
files for the different platform: 
        platform.properties.linux
        platform.properties.windows
        platform.properties.mac
Which will each have values pre configured for the corresponding
platform. Then with either configure or a shell script, the platform
file wil be copied to platform.properties and the directory properties
will be set accordingly.

I ran into a couple of issues tryingt o run this ant build. Firstly I
got an error with a path
xxxxx/cpp/sca/runtime/core/src/runtime/core/src. I trcked this down to
the fact that the property core.dir is set in the top level build.xml to
"runtime/core/src" and in the runtime/core/src/build.xml the same
property name is used and set tu "tuscany/sca/core". It looks to me like
the second defintion of core.dir is being ignored. I'm not an ant expert
... do properties get propagated from higher level build files?
I got around this by changing the name of core.dir to src.dir in one of
the files.

Rather than specifying the paths to the source code etc in the
platform.properties I would prefer to set these automatically so in the
top level build.xml I added:

<property name="tuscanySCA.root.dir" location="$env.PWD}" />

and then based other properties from this. It seemed to work!

Do these changes make sense?

Cheers,
