John Casey commented on MNG-897: -------------------------------- I'm actually thinking we may want to separate the metadata bindings into a separate file to accompany the script. This would achieve the following: 1. Don't have to fire up an Ant instance just to retrieve the [relatively speaking] miniscule metadata. 2. Don't want to support ant imports and other complex features for metadata...this should be *very* easy to read. 3. The syntax I laid out above was hackish at best. 4. I don't want to process an embedded metadata definition using DOM or somesuch and have Ant people asking why ant-import isn't working...it's too unintuitive. I think it may be better to simply separate the metadata physically to keep from introducing any implications/expectations about how that metadata is processed by the plugin tool. We can use a naming convention of: foo-build.xml................................plugin script foo-build.bindings.xml...............plugin metadata (bindings to m2) This is something we've been discussing a little bit on the IRC channel, and it seems like the least of all evils to me.
