Subject: RE: Alexandria
Thank you for the response. At least I feel much better knowing that
I'm not going out of my mind for no reason ;o).
If Alexandria is (just about) dead then I would urge you to replace it
with anything that is actually closer to working! I think having a dead
project under the Jakarta name is worse than having no project at all.
My opinion is that Alexandria (as it is) should not be a Jakarta project
due to lack of support. The sooner it is dropped, or better yet,
replaced, the better.
The gump builds look like something we would like to use, except that it
doesn't include the Javadoc.
What would be your recommendations to me on this matter? What I need
here is a system that does automatic builds (using Ant buildfiles) and
can generate Javadoc as well. Logs and even blames (as Alexandria
promised to do) are a definite plus. Can you send me more information
about Gump? Can I set it up within my company? Are there any
step-by-step instructions on how to go about that?
Kind regards,
Stefan Freyr.

I agree with Sam in that Alexandria is quasi-dead. I would even say that
it
is dead and that I would like to see Gump as its replacement. I have
never
seen Alexandria actually work and I even feel that it should be dumped
from
Jakarta because no one takes care of it so if you want to contribute
that
would be great.

I think that anything Alexandria claims to do could be done by Gump:
generate javadocs, produce metrics and generate attrative change logs
from
CVS information and whatever else. I would build all these things as Ant
tasks myself, and I will as more time becomes available :-)
