I imagine by now I'm the umpteenth person to ask about something like this, but the search patterns to find this don't seem to be that simple.
I'm working on a small project inside a large EAR. The small project imports the main project build file, which defines the important "create-ear" target. I have a need to modify this so the main "create-ear" target calls a "stub" target that can be overridden in sub-projects to do additional work in the EAR construction. If the sub-project doesn't need to do any additional work, it wouldn't define the target, so only the empty stub would execute. In my case, at least my sub-project has to create an APP-INF/lib directory (if it doesn't exist), and copy certain jars from the sub-project into that created directory. I suppose I could instead make the "stub" instead do real work and assume that the sub-project has defined a "app-inf-jars" property (for instance) and create the APP-INF/lib directory and copy in the paths specified in that property, and do nothing if that property isn't set. I'm not sure which is more reasonable. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@ant.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@ant.apache.org
