[ jEdit-devel ] Unified plugin build file

[Marcelo V. <va...@us...>]

	I'm back! And now you'll have to discuss this again. :-)

	So, I'd really like to get more input on what plugin developers and 
packers think of a unified plugin build file like the one I was 
discussing with some other people here a couple months ago.

	More specifically:

	- What should be in the file?
	- Where should this be? In the top-level "plugins" directory in CVS, or 
in a sub-directory (e.g., "plugin-support" or something)?
	- How to get everybody to use it? :-)

	As before, I have a prototype available at the same place.

	http://www.lips.utexas.edu/~vanzin/jedit/plugin-build.xml
	http://www.lips.utexas.edu/~vanzin/jedit/newbuild.xml

	(newbuild.xml is ProjectViewer's build file, using the new "unified 
build file" as a base.)

	This build file covers: building, packaging, building the 
documentation, retrieving and building dependencies from CVS and has the 
beginnings of some testing targets (if the project has tests; currently 
using jUnit).

	I'd really like to hear from people on this, since I was hoping to 
start using it before the next release of ProjectViewer (which I'm 
working on finishing right now).
