             Summary: Integrate ant build-dev target in build target

                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-5779
             Project: OFBiz
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: framework
    Affects Versions: Trunk
            Reporter: Jacques Le Roux
            Assignee: Jacques Le Roux
            Priority: Minor


It's a long time this was itching me. There are several reasons why it was not there yet and few consequences.

*Reasons*
The main reason I did not do it already is I work on Windows, and I did not find an easy way to patch on Windows in Ant. So I was reluctant to rely on it, notably if other people would have to use it. It took me a moment to find the right way to do it with Ant. I wanted to chain the call on the build-dev target in the main build target and not being able to handle correctly on Windows was the main blockink reasons I did not do it.

*Consequences*
In my current custom project (still based on lively trunk HEAD), for now I had to duplicate the dev patches on other areas to have them applied there with the respectice build-* targets. 
But I had also changes included in OFBiz OOTB code because it was simpler that way than having to duplicate in other areas, this was not good of course
