maven ant build.xml generation really appropriate ?

[Paul Libbrecht <pa...@activemath.org>]

Hi,

In the hope of crafting a project to quickly and often compile, I told 
myself it would make sense to use the generated build.xml.

Well.. I got disappointed a bit:

- it starts to download a few things to the target/lib directory which 
seems to something good if one wants the build.xml be distributed but 
not for someone that actually uses the build.xml with a maven on the 
same machine.

- it has an "offline" flag (the "noget" property) but this one doesn't 
change the pointers to the dependencies, it just assumes they're still 
in target/lib directory.

Would it not make sense to make an ant build file which is for local 
use, with dependencies on the repository files ?

Thanks.

Paul
