As and when I complete the second edition of Java development with Ant (yes, I am behind schedule), there will be some sample stuff that does it more simply. I havent written the target to zip up all the source tree to provide an example, but I could do that in the next couple of days if you'd like.

Thanks, Steve, that would be incredibly helpful if you could.

BTW I'm really looking forward to the book, so I hope you haven't got too much left to do!


well, the 'big project' chapter did take about 10 weeks all in; it is probably so big that it should split into two.

But I'm backing off from any XDoclet coverage because
 -XDoclet 1.2.x doesnt work on java1.5
 -XDoclet 2.0 isnt there yet
 -Java 5 annotations threaten the value of the tool


XDoclet 1.2.x doesnt work on java1.5???

I had no idea - I had to stick with java1.4 on my last project. Ignorance is bliss, as they say...

You got me scurrying to Google, though, and there would now appear to be an XJavaDoc snapshot release which lets you use XDoclet 1.2.x with Java 1.5., although it wasn't immediately apparent whether this just meant that XDoclet would crash if your non-annotated code uses Java 1.5 features, or whether you could actually annotate Java1.5 constructs like fields using generics.


XDoclet CVS_HEAD works on 1.5; I have it generating servlets and taglibs.
