macrodef, runtarget, antcall

Hi Dominique and all, You've spotted exactly the issue at hand. :-) Please accept for purposes of discussion the requirement that Ant MUST be used in a procedural manner. Plans to use scriptdef and Groovy are in the works, but that's not now. So, the question is what are the best set of prac

Re: ivy:buildlist and parallizing build

Hi Jonathan, I've messed with this challenge with varying levels of success. The primary issue is if you're changing a few modules (say A, B, and C) and those modules have interdependencies (say C depends on A). If you go parallel, C is likely to resolve the old version of A. Not saying it can'

RE: Equivalent:

Agreed, I try to use antcall as little as possible. It also tends to eat up memory if you have a ton of antcall tasks in a large build framework. Macrodefs are a nice substitute, but they really need an "if/else" attribute. I find that I often have targets that are just wrappers for macrodef or

Re: Equivalent: antcall with inheritrefs vs. runtarget

Thanks, Nathan. So, aside from performance and implementation issues, are they equivalent? That is, is there anything observable in a script as a practical matter between these two idioms? If not, I'd think I'd usually want runtarget instead of antcall with inheritrefs=true. On 7/8/2011 11:2

taskdef A class needed by class X cannot be found: Task

Hi list I am having a problem with an Ant installation on my Ubuntu 11.04. I have a task which I have made myself and it has always worked (and actually still does) but now I am getting the below error: $ java -version && javac -version && ant -version java version "1.6.0_24" Java(TM) SE Runtime
