accessing antlib svn
hi, I would like to contribute to the ant dotnet antlib. Does anyone know how I can get at least anonymous access to the repository? I couldnt find anything for the ant libs. Also, having some documentation about which branch I can code against would be helpful. Maybe I just havent searched enough - but any help would be appreciated. thanks, Vijay - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: copyng and renaming files
you can achieve the same without using ant-contrib: by using a
flattenmapper to get the list of files (without directory names), and
then using that in an include to move from 'destination' to
'destination/old' and then copying from 'origin' to 'destination'.

You can use antcrontib task 'for' and the task basename, as following :

Subject: copyng and renaming files
Hi everybody,
I apologize if this issue have been posted previously, but I search the
mailing list and I couldn't find nothing similar.
I need to copy files (says A.java e B.java) from a directoy Origin to a
directory Destination. The directory Destination already contains an
older
version of A.java and B.java, but it contains many other files. Before
copying A.java and B.java (the new version) from Origin I need to save
A.java and B.java contained in Destination in another directory
(Destination\Old). This is my problem: I don't know how to say to ant
that
the set of fils that it have to copy from Destination to
Destinatio\Old is
the same that in contained in Origin.
Thank you in advance for your kind reply
Elisabetta

Re: Updated : Failonerror does not have any effect on compilation failure

Is there an ant task (inbuilt in ant core) to verify the version of a jre?
hi, On many of my projects, we need to compile against the 1.4 JDK. Depending on what any individual developer might have installed, we run into issues with JDK versions ranging from 1.4.x, 1.5.x and 1.6. Does anyone know if there is a task in ant which can be used to verify the version of the JDK and possibly fail the build if the version does not match what the project needs? (For eg: The limitation could be that the app server being used does not support more than JDK 1.4) To get around this currently, I have the following lines at the top of the build file: classpath="lib/compile/ant-contrib.jar" /> But, as you can see, this creates a dependency on the ant-contrib jar. What I would like to achieve is the same - but without having to include the ant-contrib jar. thanks, Vijay - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

How can we use the checksum task (or another ant task) to compare that the ftp worked
hi, We have a client where a build process creates artifacts (jar, exe) and uses the scp task to copy them over to an ftp server. Once this process completes, an email is sent to the offshore team asking them to verify that the file sizes (obtained from the build machine) are the same for each file from the ftp server before they use these artifacts. I wanted to use the checksum task or something similar to compare the file sizes between the local and remote server before sending that email. If the checksums don't match, we would like to fail the build.

Re: Repeating a task for a list of directories
hi, if all you are doing is calling a different ant file within each subdirectory - you can look at subant (http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/subant.html) If your main build file has a target which you want to repeat for each subdirectory, use ant-contrib's for or foreach tasks (http://ant-contrib.sourceforge.net/tasks/tasks/index.html) With the ant-contrib option, you will have access to a property that you can define which contains the directory name. hth, Vijay Rob Wilson wrote: Hi, I have not done too much with Ant, but I would like to find all sub-directories below a given directory and then for each directory repeat a task in the context of that directory, so for example topdir subdir1 subdir2 I would like to get ant to repeat a task for subdir1 and subdir2 and have access to the directory name within the task - does anyone know how I can achieve this?

Re: best practice: How to insert unreferenced class files into a JAR
Since these dynamically loaded classes are part of a separate project, you are already on the correct path. Just jar those files separately and use that jar in the classpath of your project. If you want to go even further, use ivy to manage your dependencies. Vijay Amit Dor-Shifer wrote: Hi all. I'm using a framework of logging formatters. Those formatters are assigned to a log according to configuration. This means those classes are never imported in source code. I've came to notice this when a/m files weren't appended to my JAR. They are located at the 'sourcepath' of my project, but belong to a separate java project. I've resolved this issue by explicitly adding the directory containing those files to the 'srcdir' attribute of my 'javac' task. Nevertheless, I'm not content with this solution and I'm guessing there's some sort of standard procedure to resolve such issues. Anyone using java reflection might stumble on the same issue, right?

Re: Depends="init" problem
hi, I think the way you invoke the targets is like: ant -f buildFile.xml a b c If that is the case, you are invoking each target independent of each other - which means that the dependencies for each are discovered separately and executed - once for a, once for b and once for c. If you had a single target called 'all' or something that ties together a, b and c, and you invoke that from the command line, then the dependency tree will be determined once and init will be called once for each invocation. Does that make sense? hth, Vijay Guy Catz wrote: I have several targets, all depends on init - ... ... ... and of course ... Now, I also have a target which call a, then b and then c.
