(1) Make sure there is a Copyright notice on all visible files. (2) Make sure all years in which the file has been modified are listed. (3) Make sure the format is consistent, i.e. separate consecutive years with a dash, not a comma. When Stephane changed starteam.html it has been 2001 in France but 2002 in Australia - does that mean we add 2002 to the Copyright line or not? ;-) git-svn-id: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ant/core/trunk@270652 13f79535-47bb-0310-9956-ffa450edef68

<H2>Overview</H2>
|
|
|
|
<P>Antidote is the <A
|
|
HREF="http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/index.html">Ant</A> subproject
|
|
for developing a graphical user interface to facilitate the
|
|
efficient use of Ant. In general, its purpose is to allow the
|
|
quick generation, modification, and use of Ant build files,
|
|
helping the user define a build process and track down build
|
|
problems. It is not meant to be an IDE, but an enabler for the
|
|
powerful features available in Ant, particularly for novice
|
|
users, or users who want a rapid way of controlling their build
|
|
process.</P>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<H2>Status</H2>
|
|
|
|
<P>Antidote is still in the early stages of development, but does
|
|
have a set of usable features, including:</p>
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<LI>Reading Ant build files.</LI>
|
|
<LI>Selecting targets and executing them.</LI>
|
|
<LI>Context highlighted build status console.</LI>
|
|
<LI>Modification of (some) build file components.</LI>
|
|
<LI>Saving modified build file.</LI>
|
|
</UL>
|
|
|
|
<P>Current development tasks include:</p>
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<LI>A more complete set of target and task editing
|
|
capabilities.</LI>
|
|
<LI>A wizard for creating basic build files, including importing
|
|
existing code bases.</LI>
|
|
<LI>Better build progress monitoring.</LI>
|
|
</UL>
|
|
|
|
<P>The Antidote source distribution comes with requirements and
|
|
design documentation that better cover the details of application
|
|
architecture, how to develop against it, and what the long term
|
|
goals are. Furthermore, there is a <code>TODO</code> file listing
|
|
the detailed, near-term tasks that need accomplishing.</P>
|
|
|
|
<H2>Getting Involved</H2>
|
|
|
|
