We can use write java classes without using abstract classes / interface and all that stuff? :p Phase is like an "abstract task" it doesn't introduce order in your build script but introduce a kind of "comportement" Exemple: <phase name="report" description="generate reports related to your project"/> <target name="javadoc" depends="whatever" phase="report"> .... </target> <target name="checstyle-report" depends="checkstyle,whatever" phase="report"> ... </target> By typing ant checkstyle-report you only generate checkstyle report. By typing ant javadoc you only generate javadoc report. By typing ant report you generate ALL targets related to the report phase. This allow you more modularity than creating a target like : <target name="report" depends="javadoc,checkstyle-report"/> Is it more clear? > > - introduce two different kind of import (what we call use / > > extends) > > I think you will quickly find support for this separation here, in > particular if we throw in user definded prefixes where the writer of > the build file that uses another build file gets to define the prefix > of targets - hi, DD ;-) I really not understand what you mean here :'( > > > > - modify project-help to display phases separated from targets > > If the concept of a phase is different from that of a "plain" target, > then it deserve its own logging, agreed. > > Cheers > > Stefan > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >
