Here is an overview of the issue:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: GEOS-121
Summary: Build process
Type: Improvement
Status: Open
Priority: Trivial
Original Estimate: Unknown
Time Spent: Unknown
Remaining: Unknown
Project: GeoServer
Assignee: Chris Holmes
Reporter: Pierrick Brihaye
Created: Sun, 14 Mar 2004 7:00 AM
Updated: Sun, 14 Mar 2004 7:00 AM
Environment: Tomcat 4.1.29/JDK 1.4.2_01/Windows 98
Description:
Currently, one needs Ant to be installed in order to build GeoServer.
The project could provide Ant librairies as well as bat/sh files.
Other point :
<!-- If you don't have your own conf directory uncomment on of the following -->
<!-- <property name="test.type" value="UserBasic"/> -->
<!--<property name="test.type" value="CitePostGis"/>-->
<!--<property name="test.type" value="CiteShapeFiles"/>-->
a) fix the typo 
b) set UserBasic as default (given that Ant properties are "write once", an external file could override this default value).
Other point :
The build process creates build, data, server and conf directories. OK, the last 3 ones are cleand if everything is OK but I would put everything in the build directory which should be the only one to get write access.
The output files geoserver.jar and geoserver.war should IMHO also be build in the build directory
p.b.
