-D option is not working !! I gave "cmd /c ant -buildfile automated_CvsTagDiff.xml CVSDiffReport -D dev.build1=Build_0402_0012 dev.build2=Build_0402_0018 " in bat file And "<property name="DevBuild1" value="$(dev.build1)"/>" in ant script.
But the result does not show values updated in properties. ;-( -----Original Message----- From: Jacob, Anil - MWT [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 20, 2004 6:17 PM To: Ant Users List Subject: RE: ant UI Instead of hardcoding the value of the Build_0402_0012, you can actually pass it as a commandline paramters -Ddev.build=Build_0402_0012. Then the build file would look like this <property name="DevBuild1" value="${dev.build}"/> When ant runs it picks up the value given on the commandline. For a UI. You can actually write a small perl script or cgi script to execute ant over a browser, off course you need a web server also. Works great.

I need to finally create such UI where we enter filename in a text box and get results. Meanwhile, what I am looking for is a way to build UI to connect to ant script for providing inputs to its properties. To make it clear: I have <property name="DevBuild1" value="Build_0402_0009"/> <property name="DevBuild2" value="Build_0402_0012"/> in my ant script I have to manually go inside the script and change these properties for diff builds. I have to build a UI for it so that when I enter build name there, it updates the property in ant script. -----Original Message----- From: Jacob Kjome [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 17, 2004 1:17 AM To: Ant Users List Subject: Re: ant UI At 04:30 PM 12/16/2004 -0500, you wrote: >Does Ant come with any user interface from where we can pass parameters >and see results on web explorer? Use an XSLT. Add something the following to your build file.... <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="./ant2html.xsl"?> After that, just create (or find it on the net) the stylesheet and open the build.xml file in IE or Mozilla. You should see a moderately decent GUI view of your build file. See: http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-antxsl/ or http://cvs.prevayler.codehaus.org/prevayler/ant2html.xsl Note: it is only "text/xsl" because IE needs that value and it doesn't break Mozilla, but there is no official mime-type named "text/xsl". BTW, if it is graphical view of the dependencies that you are looking for, try something like vizant.
