I'm not having problems, really :-). I was just curious whether I could use the name of the target as given on the command line in the script as a means of influencing the script execution. OK, an example. I have one source, and three different build targets "cdrom", "intranet", "internet". The differences between the targets are relatively minimal, for example: "disable any logs" for the cdrom target (the application runs from cdrom), or "display general conditions" unless the target is intranet, etc. Currently I have three build files (yes, they are called like this :-)) - cdrom.build - intranet.build - internet.build which take care of the above-mentioned specifics. if possible, I'd like to have one generic.build file where I just supply the platform target, like this ant -f generic.build {cdrom|intranet|internet} inside the script a property will get assigned the target's value, and I can then use this property to decide whether or not I want to execute the "enable-log-mechanism" and "disable-general-conditions", etc. mmh, if there are better ways I'm open for them. thanks for your reply. > Regards, > Alex Hybel > > --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED], "Jakob Fix" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Hi, > > > > I was wondering whether the target given on the command line like this > > > > ant -f generic.build server > > > > (i.e. "server" in this example) is available from within the ant > > script, like ${target}. apparently, it's not ${target} because > > otherwise I wouldn't have asked, I tried that, and yes, the > > documentation keeps shtum as well. > > > > thanks in advance. > > > > > > -- > > cheers, > > Jakob. -- cheers, Jakob. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
