[VOTE] Cleaning the build.xml file

["Vladimir R. Bossicard" <vl...@bossicard.com>]

I'm currently cleaning up the build file and would like to have approval 
over the following propositions.

[  ] the scratchpad project has it's own build.xml file (removing some
      normally unused targets)

[  ] definition of the (now standard) targets:
         init
         build
         release (creation of the jars and wars)
         clean
      these targets will call other subtargets.
      e.g. build calls src-build, test-build and example-build
           clean calls src-clean, test-clean and example-clean
      By calling one target to build everything (build), we are sure
      that everything compiles.  And it is still possible to call the
      separate build/release/clean subtargets individually.

[  ] introduction of the build directory that contains all the generated
      files (except the jars and wars placed in the dist directory).
      e.g. it will contain
          classes
          test-classes
          example-classes
          doc
          doc/api
      The goal is to keep the tree as clean as possible.  If something
      goes wrong, you only have to remove one directory.

[  ] build.properties contains properties that overwrite those defined
      in build.xml.  E.g tomcat.home can be define in the property file
      if the TOMCAT_HOME can't be used (like you have two installation of
      Tomcat, one for the Xindice tests and the other one for you
      website)

[  ] moving the creation of the distribution files (*.zip and *.tar.gz)
      into the contributor.xml file.

Thanks for your answer
