[Gump] How to select the projects you want to build from a specific module ?

[Jean-Philippe LEBOEUF <je...@free.fr>]

1) Hello again, I re-repost this message cos I got no answer in 
alexandria-dev (excuse me if it was the wrong list),

I need for example only a few components from jakarta-commons : how to 
select them using the xml project file in Gump ?

2) Next, I have another question.
Many weeks ago I started a project like Gump and I noticed that the 
cross-references of Gump (depends) are based on 'build.xml' files of 
original projects.
But looking closer at these files, we can see that one can relax xref 
modifying these original files.
For example, many projects have server side exemple using servlets or 
make tests using junit and in fact those projects aer compilable without 
those library, but there is a need to patch the build.xml files. In 
fact, one can continue the work done on Ant in separating dist and lib.

3) Why not to make projects files, a Gump build using ONLY stable packages ?
I am working on that, and I hope to success :-|
The main problem is that many projects are not tagged in CVS.

Thanks.

Yes, but in the example file, there are modules in the profile (the url 
is specified in the tag module). I want to choose projects, but staying 
syncronized with the change made in projects files from The Gump, cos I 
only want to compile a subset of projects. So I was thinking about 
<project href="" name=""> ... Is it possible ?

How to do so ???

Yes, sure, what I wanted to say is that these project definition files 
stay close to build.xml files.

Yes, but I was talking about refactoring original build.xml files. I 
will go on investigating this way...

I am doing it, package after package ;)

Create your own profile?  The organisation is this: the workspace points 
to (typically one) profile which points to (typically multiple) projects.

The cross reference is based on Gump project definitions, not build.xml 
files.

I'm not sure I understand the question, but in project definitions, one 
can state that dependencies with <option>, in which case the project 
being referenced need not exist.

It is possible to do that.  The combinatorics of doing so for each 
project in the gump profile would be overwhelming.
