I have an issue WRT the apply task. I need it to be much more flexible
than the documentation states it is. Let's say I'm using a tool that has
odd command line options like this:
util.exe [options] +|-<filename>
where options is optional and you must specify +<filename>
or -<filename>
Given the current way in which the apply task is implemented, it seems
impossible to do in ant 1.6.5:
<apply executable="util.exe" parallel="false">
<arg value="+"/>
<srcfile/>
<fileset dir="files/"/>
</apply>
Wouldn't it make more sense to do the following:
<apply executable="util.exe" parallel="false" srcproperty="srcfile">
<arg value="+${srcfile}"/>
<fileset dir="files/"/>
</apply>
I can't understand why it was implemented as separate tags rather than
as properties. In my opinion, the latter example would be more in-step
with typical ANT thinking.
Anyway, does anyone know of a way to do what I want with the current
version of ant?
Thanks,
-Alan
