http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20344 [PATCH]Allows record task to use XmlRecorder Summary: [PATCH]Allows record task to use XmlRecorder Product: Ant Version: 1.6Alpha (nightly) Platform: All OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: Other Component: Core tasks AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Background: Currently, Ant supports logging as XML by specifying a logger on the command line: ant -logger org.apache.tools.ant.XmlLogger -verbose -logfile build_log.xml Problem: There are a few limits to this. The log file and listener must be specified on the command line instead of in property fields or a file. Also, the log file is produced at the end of the build, so transforms and other followup operations have to be performed from another build script. Solution: This patch modifies the record task to allow a Recorder to be specified. XmlRecorder, a subclass of XmlLogger, is included in this patch and can be used to produce the XML log output. This may then be transformed from within the build.xml. Documentation: The ant Record core task's documentation is updated to reflect the change. Listener is removed from the wishlist at the bottom of Record's html file. After looking into the code, I found it more appropriate to refer to the attribute as a recorder (sticking to the codebase' naming convention). Example: Here, a java compile task is recorded, and the resulting log.xml file is used to produce html output. ... <record name="log/log.xml" recorder="org.apache.tools.ant.XmlRecorder" action="start"/> <javac ... <record name="log.xml" action="stop"/> <style basedir="log/" includes="log.xml" destdir="doc/" extension=".html"style="log.xsl"/> ... The tar.gz attachment includes the patch, new files. See recorder.make for the list of changed and new files. Tests: The code has been tested with the XmlRecorder, no recorder, and for regression using the command line method. ToDo: The XmlRecorder will not add entries when the recorder is restarted. I figured it would be best to get this in first and learn the process (my first public patch ever). If restarting is needed I'll improve the code later.
