Craftsman Bootstrap

The Craftsman Bootstrap is a hook designed for bootstrapping craftsman into the current project workspace. It takes care of several problems:
  1. It consistently loads the craftsman library and extensions by just adding one <import> to the build.xml file.
  2. Removes the need for linking directly to the Craftsman ant extensions from your build.xml. This allows anyone to use your build.xml even if they do not have Craftsman (so long as you have supplied them the bootstrap jars).
  3. It searches for a craftsman installation, and if none is found, it prompts the user to download and install craftsman.
  4. It maintains your craftsman installation, allowing you to update your version of craftsman via an Ant target.

For more information on the bootstrap, see the manual.
