Re: Target enablement via nested conditions?

My 2 cents: I think it makes the structure more clear. Personally I do not like the (in my opinion) bogus targets only for evaluating if a target should be executed or not. I can see the principle design argument, but it feels like they bloat my ant scripts and make them less easy to understand. My

Stuck with what seems to be a charset issue

Hi, I'm experiencing an issue which i've not yet encountered and am not able to resolve :( Since we have multiple products building on multiple JDK versions, i've created a macrodef to initialize the specific build using the appropriate JDK version. This works fine with JDK 1.4, but not with JDK

Re: EasyAnt phases

Perhaps it is possible to create a dependency between phases, and additionally give targets the possibility to depend on a phase i.e.: (please don't mind the names, i'm not following this topic close enough to know them or make suggestions, it's just an example). This way it is possible f

User properties

Hi, Is there a way to access the list of user properties in order to pass it to an external process? I have a situation where I use the Java task to start an external process, but I need to pass the users properties that were set when invoking the ant script (using the -D flag). Or maybe more in g

Re: EasyAnt phases

Hi, Can you explain the concept of targets being able to add themselfs as dependencies? I can't really picture this :) Cheers, Remie On Tue, Nov 11, 2008 at 12:25 PM, Stefan Bodewig <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi all, > > EasyAnt has a concept named "phase" which is some special sort of > ta

Re: AW: Dynamic property names

Thanks for the input! I found a different way to deal with the problem, without hacks :) Sometimes it is useful not to be able to find a solution, it allows you to look back a couple of steps. However, I do still have the question why double expanding is not implemented. Is there a conceptual iss

Re: How about moving all SCM and EJB tasks into Antlibs?

Hi, Will those antlibs be bundled with the package, or do picture them as a separate download? Reason I ask is because I think SCM tasks are commonly used in buildscripts. Cheers, Remie On Mon, Nov 3, 2008 at 2:15 PM, Stefan Bodewig <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi all, > > I'd like to move th

Re: Dynamic property names

Hi, I saw the FAQ, but the workaround deals with making a new property, which is not something that is desirable in my situation. Is there a reason that double expanding is not implemented? Cheers, Remie On Mon, Nov 3, 2008 at 8:53 AM, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >Is it possible to resolve a

Dynamic property names

Hi, Is it possible to resolve a property name like this ${${prefix}.someproperty} making the prefix variable? Cheers, Remie

Re: Taking Ant To The Next Level.

y have the option to use new features that might enable them to perform tasks previously impossible. So far my initial 2 cents in this discussion. Since i'm new to this list (i've been following it for a while) i might have missed lots of discussions about this. If so, my sincere apologies.
