It might make sense to provide standalone build.xml files that build
non-Eclipse components such as the Command line client, the admin tool and
the Stellation server. These files should be kept out of the directories
that are considered to be Eclipse source directories.
Jonathan,
Our previous approach was basically like that, and problems resulted (of
course, we
could probably do it better the second time around :>).
Consider that stellation.core and stellation.remote are currently used by
both command-line and Eclipse clients (and so is stellation.cli, but that's
an aberration I hope to fix real soon now...). Also - we are still
planning to migrate to using a "headless" Eclipse core for the command-line
tools (in part so we don't have to duplicate the cross-platform facilities
(e.g. resource management) that Eclipse provides). That notwithstanding,
separate standalone build.xml files may be useful as a short-term expedient...
Regards,
Jim
