Alexandria would seem to be a good home for this function.

I can't seem to checkout Alexandria at the moment.  For details on the
error, take a look at
http://oss.software.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/jakarta/proto/cvs_alexandria.html.

 I've reported this on the alexandria-dev mailing list on the 20th of
December, but have yet to hear a reply.  Furthermore, when I click on the
"Use Alexandria" link, I get an Object not found at
http://java.apache.org/alexandria/.

Even if the code (yes, it is 100% XSLT) I wrote proves to be of little
value, I suspect that the workspace definition will be reusable in some
form.  One thing I am pleased with in my implementation that I would like
to see live on is the ordering of the individual project builds based on
their declared dependencies.  I've also used that dependency information to
produce a cross reference of projects.

With a little change I recently made to Ant, the classpath issues are all
resolved to my satisfaction.

Let's explore further the possibility of combining our efforts at that time
on the alexandria-dev mailing list.

Think I've sussed it. Are you running thing in a Windows box. I got the same
problem trying to checking things out on a Win98 box. It's because of the
name of the directory cvs which on an win box gets confused with the CVS
directory which causes cvs to throw a wobbly.

Anyway I've removed the files in those directories as there autogenerated
during the build so I don't think they should really be in cvs anyway.

Not sure what the score is with this one. I think it's Kevins box. It's
running quite an old version of Alexandria. What I'd really like is
something setup to do a nightly Alexandria run at least on the Alexandria
source code.

Think this is going to be one of the problems with XSL, poor reusability.
Can't really reused code apart from cutting and pasting sections. I like the
idea of the dependacies, it is something that has crossed my mind before but
i could think of a way to do it (at least not a nice way)

Cool, looks like I'll have to start using the dev version of Ant again.
