Hi,
One of the managers here was looking at the way the description
attribute is used within ant. He thought that it is used for two
purposes:
1 - describe a task so that -projecthelp can provide output for the
user of a build file
2 - to provide some kind of 'scope' to the targets ie targets without
a description are considered 'private' and really shouldn't be called
directly
no, more "primary" and "secondary" targets. You want private, give a
target a name beginning with a '-' symbol
Thanks for that, didn't know before about the -name workaround.
Scope is quite a complex thing as we have to consider implications for
<import>, <ant>, etc, etc.
Yeah I didn't consider this at all, just the simple case of execution
directly from the cmd line.
Ok the RFE is not required and would just cause problems, thanks for
explaining.
Kev
