[udig-devel] Turning the SDK into an EXE

Wed Sep 12 01:46:58 PDT 2007

It is a simple ant script (pretending to be smart like maven).

The errors are when it checks your local computer (if you were building 
GeoTools locally it would pick the jars off your machine). Later on in 
the file it grabs them from http://lists.refractions.net/m2/

Cheers,
Jody
