Will probably break something like
<project name="testscript" default="main">
<target name="sub">
<echo id="theEcho"/>
</target>
<target name="sub1">
<script language="netrexx"><![CDATA[
theEcho.setMessage("In sub1")
sub.execute
]]></script>
</target>
<target name="sub2">
<script language="javascript"><![CDATA[
theEcho.setMessage("In sub2");
sub.execute();
]]></script>
</target>
<target name="main" depends="sub1,sub2"/>
</project>
which is copied straight from the examples for <script> in the Ant
manual for version 1.6.5.
Yep, this is correct ;-) , I have removed the example
from the documentation.
I.e. it breaks something that was documented to work before. One
could even assume it was a best practice, given it was used in the
manual.
Yep, one may assume it was best practice, but it is not!
This example predates Ant 1.2 IIRC.
I know, that is why I have raises the reference deferral
as a issue.
I really cannot see the use-case described by the example.
I would not think that there are any examples in the "wild".
Deferring the reference handling will fix a lot of bugs
that have occuried in the wild, including allowing the <script>
task to work without sometimes trashing the build - see:
