Is anyone really using Jam with Java or has everybody switched to Ant?
I really dislike Ant.
I reworked a Jam-based (on "Ames' stuff") Java build process into an Ant
one and took it down from 40 minutes to 4, so I feel just a tad
differently about Ant than you do :) The problem with the Jam-based one
was no wildcarding, so you had these long lists of source files in the
Jamfiles that you had to maintain, and feeding the Java files to the
compiler one at a time, which is clearly gonna make the build incredibly
slow.
Just out of curiosity, what is it about Ant that makes you dislike it?
