Hi,
I wrote a Task recently that alters files as they are copied to
different directories. I used it to create a website and it serves we
quite well - I imagine it would be useful for other applications where
more complex copying operations are required.
It basically works like this:
<taskdef name="tcopy" classname="TemplateCopy" classpath="."/>
<tcopy templatefile="${tfile}" outdir="${outdir}" srcdir="${srcdir}">
<include name="**/*.tmpl"/>
</tcopy>
<tcopy templatefile="${jsfile}" outdir="${outdir}"
srcdir="${srcdir}" ext=".js">
<include name="rolling.tmjs"/>
</tcopy>
What it is saying is, for every file in the include list, make a token
replacement copy of the file "templatefile" to "outdir" with the
appropriate extension. So if srcdir contained 10 *.tmpl files, then 10
files (with the default *.html extension) will end up in the outdir
location, where the values in the *.tmpl files are inserted into the
base "templatefile".
In other words, I have one templatefile that contains generic
information plus some tokens:
<html>
<head>
<title>@TITLE@</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Some general info</h1>
@CONTENT@
</body>
</html>
and then some others - let's say "welcome.tmpl" - that contain only
token, value pairs:
@TITLE@
Welcome page
@CONTENT@
<p>Welcome to my page</p>
Then the resulting page would be "welcome.html" in the outdir directory.
Is there any interest in including this with optional tasks?
