Invicta build management tool

I just saw a reference to a new (open-srouce) build management tool called Invicta, and after looking at it a bit I thought you guys might find its approach interesting as a source of ideas or at least in comparison to Maven. http://invicta.sourceforge.net/ http://invicta.sourceforge.net/manual

Why is build.properties from ${user.home} the most dominant

I wanted to get the rationale as to why build.properties from ${user.home} is more dominant than build.properties and project.properties from the project dir. This has always seemed ass-backwards to me, and is in fact backwards to the order in which a number of ant projects I've seen (and mine)

I really like the idea of another public release which incorporates all the fixes since b10. Maybe I'm just being picky, but I think beta-11 is a much more appropriate name than RC1. Release Candidate implies it's a candidate for release, with generally no known bugs (non-trvial, anyways) which

Are you expecting that this will be merged back into HEAD, or HEAD merged into this in the future? Unfortuntately I think your chance of merging 2 diverged branches (where ongoing work has gone on in both) with CVS is next to nil. What is probably more realistic is for Jason or whoever to do

Artifact plugin enhancements to support deploying non-primary artifact

2003-08-04 Thread Colin Sampaleanu
I was thinking that it would be useful to enhance the artifact plugin to support deploying artifacts which are not the primary artifact produced by the project. I have a project which builds a jar file. That project also uses a jar file which is manually built once in a while. It lives in the /

why should maven tell you that a downloaded artifact was only inlocal repo

2003-08-04 Thread Colin Sampaleanu
If an artifact is not available in the remote repo(s), but is available in the local repo, and downloaded from there, maven tells you so. It's perfectly normal for some artifacts to only be availble locally, say if you created them yourself and did an install. Why should maven draw attention to

2003-06-12 Thread Colin Sampaleanu
Don't forget that ant only allows you set a property once and then you may not override it. So your initial instinct with a system that allows a new value read in to override an old one (such as Maven itself when it reads its own property files) is to put the user level file last, with ant, you
