As per the documentation on extension-points, there is a note
that this is designed to be used with imported build files.
I tried to create the example given (see attached files) where
build.xml imports targets and an extension-point and then
adds a dependency via the extensionOf.
This results in an error that the extension-point does not exist,
which it doesn't because the import is done after the
build is parsed. I believe that I have the intent correct but
that there is a bug in TargetHelper in ProjectHelper2. I can
see that the extensionOf needs to find the other target so that
it can add a dependency but that that target doesn't
exist since the import stack hasn't been fully popped.
I believe that the fix is to change ProjectHelper2 (I will try to
create my own in the short term) to add the extension to
a stack which then is processed after the import stack is done.
That is, all extensions should be done after the imports
are done.
Do I have the intent right?
I can add the extensionOfs to another file that is then imported
last and that works but its not what I want.
