about sharing data, hidden shared data may not give the user the tool they
expect.
In the following:
public Integer get_bigdata() {
if (_static_bigdata == null) {
log("alloc"); // from ant Task class
I was hoping to avoid introducing additional requirements, such as antcontrib
or Ivy.The list is a merge of two files, one global property list of
libs that have names that dereference to a list of jars (produced and
managed by an external program); and one local -- just part of that name.
These a
In perl I would say:
map {
die "missing library $1" if /\$\{libs\.(.+)\.classpath\}/
} @classpath;
and get the feature that if property expansion failed, the build would halt
with a meaningful error message.
In ant:
# doesn't support failonerror attribute
# doesn't support prope
