Hallo ANT-Developers,
I would like to contribute code to ANT.
It is a <checktokens> we use together with tokenfiltering inside <copy>.
-------- Question: (that I didnt find answered neither in FAQ nor in "Contributing")
Is it possible (is someone willing to spend time) that I send you code inside a demo-project, that comes with jdoc comments, a TestCase, a manual and a build.xml for demo purposes for you to examine, and possibly take it an integrate it into your CVS the way you like to have it (or tell me where to put it or what to change on it)?
If yes: whom may I send a chechtokens.tar.gz? If no: Please shortly "why?": Is it about the code? About what the Task does? ...
-------- Details: We use token filtering (inside <copy>) to build applications' properties files for different environments, e.g. test environment, production environment.
I was missing a feature in the copy task that warns me (a) if a token could not be given a value and/or (b) if a value file contains token values that are never used.
Therefore I have written a CheckTokens (extends Task) which we run before every deploy/compile.
-------- Example: If someone adds a filter token in our "application.properties" e.g. "[EMAIL PROTECTED]@" and added the token value in his "local.properties": "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", his testing on the "local"-built applications will send him warning mail. If he forgot to supply a token value in file "production.properites", we would never get warning mail from out "production"-built application.
When using "CheckTokens" our build will fail immediately during development phase.
Waiting for your answer!
