Rene Gielen - [09/Nov/05 10:54 AM ] Patched webwork build.xml to support standalone operation for builds from distribution.

Rene Gielen - [09/Nov/05 10:56 AM ] This property file is needed in the ww root directory for the patched buildfile to work.

Rene Gielen - [09/Nov/05 11:03 AM ] The patched build process will - determine which common buildfile to use before import - check whether ivy-retrieve should be executed This is done using the presets found in commonbuild.properties When creating distribution - the osbuild.xml will be copied to distdir - the commonbuild.properties will be copied to distdir - the commonbuild.properties in distdir is edited to standalone setup Please review & apply in CVS

Patrick Lightbody - [15/Nov/05 10:42 PM ] Rene, We decided to just keep a copy of osbuild.xml in the CVS module itself, so that should take care of everything. I won't need your patch though, I hope you don't mind :)

Rene Gielen - [16/Nov/05 01:48 AM ] How should I not like this solution? :) It even makes build from CVS easier because no "outside" module needed. But the patch addressed a second thing - make ivy-retrieve dependent on the build.standalone property build.standalone=true -> omit ivy-retrieve This is useful in both for distribution (it comes with all needed libs) and development (beeing able to short circuit build process).

Rene Gielen - [21/Nov/05 06:03 AM ] Build now knows new property "skip.ivy". May be specified from properties file or from commandline ant execution with -Dskip.ivy=true. If set to true, ivy-retrieve is omitted and build is done with current libdir content. The dist target was extended to add "skip.ivy=true" to the build.properties file in the distribution dir, which makes builds from distribution skip ivy retrieve by default.
