Well, this is not an error, only a warning which only happens when 
`build -f` fails for whatever (possibly unrelated) reason.
Before that, it only failed silently which had me scratching my head 
quite a few times before realizing what was wrong, even though I was 
familiar with the code involved.

Oops, I thought I summarized it somehow there, sorry...

Sure, here you are:

Basically to support `build -f` and other new niceties (like *hint hint" 
:P building under Eclipse) your resource-types 'Ant build scripts should 
now all look like this:
<project name="yanel-foo-resource">
   <import 
file="${yanel.source.home}/src/build/resource-types/resource-type.build.xml"/>
  </project>

...that is unless you have to do something specific: then in the 
importing file you can override the Ant targets defined in the imported 
file ( see for example 
https://svn.wyona.com/repos/public/yanel/trunk/src/realms/welcome-admin/yanel/resources/update-webapp/build.xml 
), just like you would do it in Java. But better see 
http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/import.html for more complete 
instructions.


Please make sure to link your documentation from build.sh then.
