Re: [eclipselink-dev] Wiki mismatch default extensions.depend.dir namean

[Eric Gwin <eric.gwin@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Will reply because others may be looking for an answer:

The default is correct (but the dir doesn't exist unless user created). 
Variable pathing issues added a usecase where the variable was used for 
a fileset in classpaths. This causes ANT to fail if the directory 
doesn't exist (which is usual). As a temporary  fix, I setup the 
conditional to set the dir to an existent (but useless) location. The 
long-term fix is in progress, but unfortunately the docs are lagging 
somewhat behind.

I have been trying to update the docs, and as a result they are in a 
state of flux. I am targeting getting them  up-to-date  and coherent 
during the holidays - after the changes are in place.
