Re: Using antcall but not re-running dependent targets

[Jacob Kjome]

You can do it via scripting.  See this thread...
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=107585688000004&r=1&w=2
...and specifically, this message...
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=ant-user&m=107589782422983&w=2


I added my own twist on it and made dependency 
following configurable (follows dependencies by 
default if not specified) along with optional 
"if" and "unless" attributes.  Actually, all the 
attributes are optional, even "target".  If 
"target" is either not defined or defined but 
doesn't exist in the build file, no action is 
performed instead of failing the build.  I 
intentionally made it very lenient to meet the 
needs of my project.  Note that this also avoids 
creating a whole separate Ant context like <ant>, 
<subant>, and <antcall> do, so properties created 
by the called target will continue to exist after 
it is called.  Here's my version.  I hope you find it useful...

<scriptdef name="scriptHook" language="javascript">
    <attribute name="target"/>
    <attribute name="followdependencies"/>
    <attribute name="if"/>
    <attribute name="unless"/>
    <![CDATA[
        var ifVal = attributes.get("if");
        var unlessVal = attributes.get("unless");
        if (((ifVal == null) || (ifVal != null 
&& project.getProperties().containsKey(ifVal)))
         && ((unlessVal == null) || (unlessVal 
!= null && !project.getProperties().containsKey(unlessVal)))) {
            var targetVal = attributes.get("target");
            if (targetVal != null && 
project.getTargets().containsKey(targetVal)) {
                var followdependenciesVal = 
(attributes.get("followdependencies") != null) 
?  java.lang.Boolean.getBoolean(attributes.get("followdependencies")) : true;
                if (followdependenciesVal == true) {
                    project.executeTarget(targetVal);
                }
                else {
                    project.getTargets().get(targetVal).performTasks();
                }
            }
        }
    ]]>
</scriptdef>
