http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30422 [Patch] Mutual Exclusion Tasks Summary: [Patch] Mutual Exclusion Tasks Product: Ant Version: 1.6.2 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: Other Component: Core tasks AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I've created 2 tasks <Wait> and <Notify>. The use case is where you have parallel ants running (on some server) doing builds, but 1 part of the build (in our case, some JFCUnit) needs to be single threaded. By this I mean that each of the build/validates that we are doing can run in parallel, with the exception of the JFCUnit portion due to focus issues. So, wrap the JFCUnit portion of the validate in the <Wait> <Notify> tasks. What wait does is create a lock file, check for other locks, of none exist, it goes forward. If other locks exist, it removes its lock file and does a random wait (based on parameters) and tries again. <Notify> simply removes the lock. I have a test build file and the working tasks if anyone wants to see and play around. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
