Hi,

But I was guessing, is there any other way to do this. I mean is there any way to do this only using Ant; since I'm not comfortable with RUBY? Thanks again for the help. */ hm, when i need to do something that can't be done with vanilla ant, i have to chose, whether to 1. write a new task 2. go via exec 3.or maybe it's somehow possible within ant but with clumsy xml code, argh ;-) or simply use a script that runs in bsf (jruby,groovy,beanshell, javascript ...) you have access to ant api, it runs in the same VM, and you have all the power of a scripting language at your finger tips. i prefer scripting and here i use (j)ruby because i like it and i use it also for other stuff beside scripting ant. if you don't have a scripting language already : try ruby, give it a shot, it's great :-) Regards, Gilbert --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
