Because I havenīt a flash compiler I canīt try your task or your buildfile.
But for better testing you should convert your buildfile to JUnit-tests.
Sounds more complicated than it is. Extend oata.BuildFileTest and use the
existing test-buildfile. Something like:
// compare the CopyTest in src\testcases\org\apache\tools\ant\taskdefs
public class FlashTest extends BuildFileTest {
public FlashTest(String name) {
super(name);
}
public void setUp() {
configureProject("flash.xml"); // the renamed build.xml
}
public void testTarget1() {
executeTarget("target1");
// check whether the compiler has done its work in the right way
}
// more tests. Single jsfl file, multiple jsfl files, missing compiler,
// missing jsfl files, empty filesets, compiler not found, creating
// jsfl file, ...
}
Advantage: integration of the test into your build process.
Maybe youīll find the "Tutorial: Writing Tasks" in the manual [1] useful.
And I thing you should rename the task to <flashc>.
<java> executes java programms and <javac> compiles java code. Therefore the
user
expects that <flash> will execute a flash file and <flashc> will compile the
flash
source. But thatīs just a suggestion - itīs your task. :)
A quick view on your source seems to be ok. Where is your problem?
Another hint: for a "source-distro" you should provide an buildfile, so that
everyone
can rebuild the task. So you can try something out and suggest a patch.
