Back from Ant

I’ve not posted in a couple days. I’ve been working with Ant scripts. I don’t like to do this, nor do I think that it needs to be done. It feels like a perpetual motion machine project, some sorry nut trying to create a working Ant build, believing it is possible when it is not.

My Ant build is much, much faster than it once was, however. I have new targets, including code coverage reports GroboCodeCoverage. I’m able to publish arifacts with Ivy.

I just feels awful to spend five days getting your code to compile, when it compiled already. I was unable to deploy that code in a reasonable time frame.

Using Ivy ought to make my life less difficult.

Today, as most days, I regret Java.
