Hi Stefen,
Thank you for the follow up questions..
I am getting to feel that, I did not explain the senario correctly.. Let me
try again to support why I feel it is obvious.
This is my ant description..
<project name="J2MECommon">
<import file="props/J2MEProps.xml"/>
<import file="paths/J2MEPaths.xml"/>
<import file="J2METaskDefs.xml"/>
<import file="macros/J2MEMacros.xml"/>
<macrodef name="tProps">
<sequential>
<copy file="${build.wtk.res}/app.jad"
tofile="${dest.bin.file}.jad"
failonerror="false"/>
<DeepCopy dir="${foundation.j2me.buildutils.root}/props"
patterns="${deviceID}.*,*.xml,vendor.*, global.*">
<include name="**/${deviceID}.properties"/>
</DeepCopy>
</sequential>
</project>
In this macro defination of mine.. I have a copy taks.. which is a direct
ant copy using as it is with me explicitly setting project to which it
belongs too..
DeepCopy is custom Ant task.. which internally uses Copy with some custom
organisation specific logic to copy.
Its defination uses taskdef some thing like this..
<taskdef name="DeepCopy" classname="com.tejasoft.ant.j2me.DeepCopyTask">....
As DeepCopy is used with in the build xml file, could ant consider all the
copy or any other api used with in DeepCopyTask be part of the same
project! (in this case project called J2MECommon)
If we could do this, I consider this as safe and right assumption from the
design..
Pl. let me know what I am missing here..
I wish to limit my self, if by design this is the correct thing to be do.
if yes, we could explore on impl. options and complications it may bring in
due to various things as told by forum members such as IDE, Parallel
execution etc..
Regards,
Nagendra
