update build system ------------------- Key: JBTM-574 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBTM-574 Project: JBoss Transaction Manager Issue Type: Task Security Level: Public (Everyone can see) Components: Build System Affects Versions: 4.7.0 Reporter: Jonathan Halliday Assignee: Jonathan Halliday Fix For: 4.8.0 The ant build scripts for Arjuna[Core|JTA|JTS] are ancient, contain a lot of unnecessary complexity and duplication and generally offend and upset me. Their days are numbered. Rework the build system to: - be easier to read and modify - use 'modern' ant features such as import and macrodef to reduce duplication, exploiting the regularity of the module structure in our layout. - maintain the same top level target names and more or less the same results, so scripts that use it don't have to change. - make the module dependencies clearer, as a prelude to using some form of dependency management (e.g. ivy/maven) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
