Re: Property array?

What is it you are trying to achieve? I have used a comma-separated string property, split it and iterated over it (using ant-contrib). Would that work for you rather than writing a custom task? hth, Vijay markww wrote: Hmm I just read through a custom Task tutorial, but I don't think they'll

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 s

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

Also, make sure CC is using the ant install that you have dropped the jera jar in. Typically, CC comes with its own version of ant - and to use a different install directory of ant, you have to pass in some parameters or set a system environment variable. (Cant remember what they are offhand).
