I have been hacking at this problem for about an hour and I have to believe that there must just be something basic I am missing. I am rewriting our build scripts to be more maintainable, useful and faster. I am trying to avoid using antcontrib this time as all the loops and antcalls I had were killing the performance of the script. Anyways here is the situation, I have the source for different builds spread out over a few source directories which I then collect in temporary directory before compiling. Lets say they look like this: <pre> app\ shared\ main source tree custom1\ custom source tree1 custom2\ custom source tree2 devices\ holds the device specific source files device1\ device2\ </pre> Each directory contains contains a full package directory heirarchy so when theyre all copied to the same place the packages will all line up. In my old build system I did it like this: <pre> <target name="GetOneTree"> <echo message="Checking ${base}/${dir} for ${includesList} minus ${excludesList} to ${outputDir}" /> <copy todir="${outputDir}" overwrite="true"> <fileset dir="${base}/${dir}" includes="${includesList}" excludes="${excludesList}" /> </copy> </target> <target name="GetSources" if="src.outOfDate"> <delete failonerror="false"> <fileset dir="${temp.dir}/src" /> </delete> <var name="includesList" value="${target.src.includesList}" /> <var name="excludesList" value="${target.src.excludesList}" /> <var name="outputDir" value="${src.tempDir}" /> <foreach list="${target.src.dirList}" target="GetOneTree" param="dir" inheritall="true" /> </target> </pre>
Where target.src.includesList would equal a list of the source directories I would want to run through for that build. Example: target.src.includesList=src/,custom1/,devices/device1/ I feel like it should be possible to do something with patternset, mappers and copy but I have had no luck in figuring it out yet. Anyone have any ideas?
