[VOTE] Simplified root build.xml

[Leif Mortenson <le...@tanukisoftware.com>]

A lot of the build problems that we have been having lately have been due to
people forgetting to set the correct dependencies in the right places. 
 And from
having the projects listed in the wrong order in the root build.xml.

I've gone through way too many times trying to work out the correct order to
build the projects so that they will work.

I would like to commit the attached build file.  It takes advantage of 
Ant's built
in dependency tree to build the subprojects.  Each project has a task 
that depends
on other tasks.

For example:
    <!-- Datasource -->
    <target name="prj-datasource" depends="prj-instrument, prj-pool">
        <ant dir="datasource" target="${subproject-target}"/>
    </target>

When you want to execute a target on all of the subprojects, you do so 
as follows:
    <target name="clean" description="Cleans each of the subprojects">
        <delete dir="${build.dir}" />
        <ant target="build-all-subprojects">
            <property name="subproject-target" value="real-clean"/>
        </ant>
    </target>

This is much simpler than the long lists of projects, which by the way 
were never all
the same.

Anyway, have a look, give it a try.  If there are no objections,  I'll 
go ahead and commit
it tomorrow.

Cheers,
Leif

+1

This is what Gump does now IIUC, and what I'm trying Gump to do 
automatically from the gump descriptor in an easy way for normal day2day 
builds.
