http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=40678 Summary: [Patch] Allow macrodef to have arbitary xml elements Product: Ant Version: unspecified Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: Core AssignedTo: dev@ant.apache.org ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Currently <macrodef> only allows the creation of new tasks. This makes it difficult to for example compose conditions from other conditions - see http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=115928538600003&r=1&w=2 for a dicussion. This patch allows this. Overview of changes: <macrodef> to have a new element <fragment>, this can contain arbitary xml and associate it with a name. The name *has* to have a '-' in it (this means that the fragment will not be confused with refection based elements). If a fragment is used, macrodef will create a MacroFragmentTask instead of a MacroInstance. This MacroFragmentTask extends MacroInstance and implements MacroFragment. MacroInstance has been modified a little so it can be extended. UnknownElement has been modifed to check if child unknown elements are MacroInstances and if so expand them by calling MacroFragment.getUnknowns() Usage: <macrodef name="file-sets"> <fragment> <fileset dir="build/a"/> <fileset dir="build/b"/> </fragment> </macrodef> <copy todir="build/c"> <file-sets/> </copy> and: <macrodef name="is-empty-file"> <attribute name="file" /> <fragment> <and> <available file="@{file}" type="file" /> <length file="@{file}" length="0" /> </and> </fragment> </macrodef> <condition property="build.is.empty"> <is-empty-file file="build.xml"/> </condition> <echo>${build.is.empty}</echo> <touch file="empty.file"/> <condition property="empty.is.empty"> <is-empty-file file="empty.file"/> </condition> <echo>${empty.is.empty}</echo> -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
