[opencms-dev] Ftpd module: my usage and proposed improvements

[ruben malchow]

hi achim,

in a way ant is just another one of the possible platforms to support. 
anyway. eclipse is just one thing mayn people use, and having a nice 
eclipse integration doesnt hurt, especially to automate things based in 
user actions, such as saving a file and provide a gui. this is not 
possible with ant. of course you could start an ant process to do this 
or that, but having an event such as this save file action trigger the 
sync would be quite nice, too, no? also, the resources as defined by 
eclipse provide a nice way to attach metadata to a file (i.e. 
opencms/vfs properties).

but indeed, given a existing webservice, this would also make a good 
starting point for an ant task (actually, i never thought of it until 
you mentioned it, but, yeah, it would great to have a vfssync task that 
takes either a local repository or a remote opencms instance as arguments).
