Salut Arnaud,
What I do (in the package 'nice') is to setup a symlink from /usr/share/ant/lib/nice.jar to the jar containing the actual plugin.Maybe we should discuss on that. Maybe it's good but I think we should have a common way of doing it.
Agreed.
Maybe a shell script update-antlib or something could be a good thing, isn't it?
What for? Since ant already gathers up everything in that directory to construct its classpath, setting up a symlink is all there is to it. I don't see what a script would bring. Do you mean that the script would create the link? Why not, but for such a simple task this might be overkill.
I still think that ant should stop depending on jython and antlr, since that's a policy violation (depends on non-necessary packages) and brings no real benefit. Is there more to discuss about this, or should I just file a bug report?
Daniel
