http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28546 Ant should offer hierarchical resource containment Summary: Ant should offer hierarchical resource containment Product: Ant Version: unspecified Platform: All OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: Core AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is an RFE. A task should be able to place limits on the resources used that apply to all tasks invoked by that task. Intervening JVM and other process creation shouldn't rescind these limits. Here's the scenario that this addresses. Imagine a large number of projects. Each one is in a sibling directory. A top-level build.xml executes the build.xml of each project. The resource limits come into play, so that each project build can be confined to its own directory and limited to a fixed time period. Without the resource limits, the top-level build has to trust each project build to complete in a timely fashion and won't mess with its siblings stuff. While there are platform specific mechanisms to accomplish this, there doesn't seem to be a platform independent way of doing this in Ant. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
