cvs ant script bad?

[Phillip Rhodes]

I downloaded jfreechart from cvs, and attempted to run the ant build file, and although it generated no errors, it is not correct.

I looked at the ant script, besides it being in the standard place (from my experience), it looks like to needs some work. Before I do this, anyone already do it?

Can we update cvs with a good ant script?


Thanks,
Phillip

P.S. I am sure the ant script is functional that a specific environment, for example if I copied all the source into the source directory, then ran it...

But i would like to get it to work out of the box.

Hi Phillip,

Someone submitted the ANT script and I said I would include it in the distribution, which has all the source code in a 'source' directory. I've put the script also in CVS, but unfortunately there is no 'source' directory in CVS (with hindsight I wish I had used one when I first set up the CVS repository).

So I guess there are two solutions:

1) Create a second ANT script specifically for building the CVS source;
2) Create a 'source' directory in CVS and move all the source files into it;

I think 2) will be more work but possibly a better idea in the long run. But I'm neither an ANT nor CVS expert...anyone else have any thoughts?
