Herve Boutemy commented on MANTTASKS-27:
----------------------------------------

buildlist Ivy task documentation is now here: 
http://ant.apache.org/ivy/history/latest-milestone/use/buildlist.html

I doubt the first use case can be done, since I don't see how to find children 
pom from a super-pom.
The second one seems more feasible, and ressembles to Ivy's buildlist.

I don't have time to work on this challenging feature, but if someone works on 
it, I'll be happy to review: svn location is 
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/maven/ant-tasks/trunk/

> Ant task to determine build order from a super pom, or from a set of poms

> I am working with the maven-artifact-ant-2.0.4-dep.jar antlib.
> an ant task allowing to determine in which order to build the components 
> which are the children of a super pom, or a list of components would be 
> useful.
> Ivy has such a task http://www.jayasoft.org/ivy/doc/use/buildlist.
> the following use cases should be supported :
> 1) most simple : take a super pom as input, look for the children poms, 
> compute a build order, and create an ant filelist with the build.xml files in 
> the right order
> 2) next use case : work from a fileset of build files, assuming there is a 
> file called pom.xml in the directory of each build file
> 3) since Maven can support pom files called something else than pom.xml, add 
> optionally a mapper to find the pom.xml for a given build.xml
> if someone adds a pointer to the locations in Subversion which need to be 
> checked out to prepare such a new task, maybe someone in the community will 
> be able to prepare the corresponding task, documentation, testcase.
> I am well aware that this need is not central to Maven. But if this is 
> addressed, it can help people who want to first use only the repository 
> management functions of maven without migrating to full blown maven 
> immediately.
