If sablecc does not update the targetdir dir (which it may not) the
above will not work, you will need to use <ac:if>,
and this can be used with ant 1.6.5!
<ac:if>
<or>
<not><available file="${targetdir}"/></not>
<ac:outofdate> <!-- only used if ${targerdir} exists -->
<ac:sourcefiles path="x.grammer"/>
<ac:targetfiles>
<fileset dir="${targetdir}" includes="**/*.java"/>
</ac:targetfiles>
</ac:outofdate>
</or>
<then>
<sablecc grammer="${grammer.file}" targetdir="${targetdir}"/>
</then>
</ac:if>
I would make the above into a macro and store it in a macros.xml file
<!-- invoke sable cc if the generated files are outofdate -->
<!-- useage: <mysablecc grammer="grammer file" targetdir="targetdir"/> -->
<macrodef name="mysablecc">
<attribute name="targetdir"/>
<attribute name="grammer"/>
<sequential>
<ac:if>
<or>
<not><available file="@{targetdir}"/></not>
<ac:outofdate>
<ac:sourcefiles path="@{grammer}"/>
<ac:targetfiles>
<fileset dir="@{targetdir}" includes="**/*.java"/>
</ac:targetfiles>
</ac:outofdate>
</or>
<then>
<sablecc grammer="@{grammer}" targetdir="@{targetdir}"/>
</then>
</ac:if>
</sequential>
</macrodef>
