path structures in different build files

Hi, I have a path structure that I have defined in one build file, this build file then calls a second build file. If I try to refer to the path structure I defined in the first file from the second file I get an error: Reference webapp.classpath not found. file 1 contains: path

Checking if an Application is Running while building

Hi All I want to delete some of the files deployed in my apperver when my build is in the process. But If the appserver is running I am not able to delete them since the it'll be in use. Is it possible to give an appropriate message to the user saying that he should shutdown the appserver to

Re: path structures in different build files

Currently the ant task only transfers across build listeners, task definitions, data type definitions, and properties. References are not carried over. It seems like a good enhancement request, although how that works and maintain backwards compatibility is the main issue to address. Erik

newbie - if-then-else task?

Hello, I'm new at Ant and I will describe what I want to do -- followed with how I hope to do it. I'm trying to copy files from two sources, a system directory followed by a local directory. This is prior to a build, and I'm modifying an existing build file. What I want is to copy a file
