http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22129 Provide a way to specify default excludes in a property file Summary: Provide a way to specify default excludes in a property file Product: Ant Version: 1.6Alpha (nightly) Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: Other Component: Core tasks AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I appreciate the work being done on the <defaultexcludes> task, but I still don't like having a hardcoded list of default excludes (DE's), the default default excludes, if you will. For instance, if you want to use just some of the DE's, you need to keep track of exactly which patterns are on the hardcoded list and remove all except the ones you want. If a new release adds new patterns to the list, you need to adjust your build script. A solution would be a file (property file, XML file) that specifies what DE's should be used. This file could be used in two different ways: - If detected at startup, use it, else possibly use hardcoded list. - Use <defaultexcludes file="excludes.file"/> I think the latter is preferred, since it uses an already known task and disturbs as little as possible. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
