Subject: Newbie question
I have a macrodef called init that defines an attribute called dest
<macrodef name="init">
<attribute name="dest" default="html_content"/>
<sequential>
<if>
<available file="${dest}" type="dir" />
<then>
<echo message="Directory ${dest}
exist... skiping" />
</then>
<else>
<echo>Creating directory</echo>
<mkdir dir="${dest}/"/>
<echo>Creating CSS directory</echo>
<mkdir dir="${dest}/css"/>
<echo>Creating JS directory</echo>
<mkdir dir="${dest}/js"/>
<echo>Creating image directory</echo>
<mkdir dir="${dest}/images"/>
</else>
</if>
<!--
Copy CSS, JS and any images into their
directories
-->
<copy todir="${dest}/css">
<fileset dir="." casesensitive="yes">
<include name="*.css"/>
</fileset>
</copy>
<copy todir="${dest}/js">
<fileset dir="." casesensitive="yes">
<include name="*.js"/>
</fileset>
</copy>
<copy todir="${dest}/images">
<fileset dir="." casesensitive="yes">
<include name="*.jpg"/>
<include name="*.gif"/>
<include name="*.png"/>
</fileset>
</copy>
</sequential>
</macrodef>
I havea couple questions:
1, How can I replace the ${dest} variable with the value of the
attribute. The task is working when called like this:
<init dest="html_content"/>
<init />
But it is not generating the html_content directory. It is literally
generation the ${dest} directory.
2. Is it possible to call it from a different task in the same build
file? I want to be able to use the value of ${dest} in other places on
the build file but haven't been able to figure out how.
Thanks for all your help
Carlos
