Hi,
Specifying environment variables for an Exec task would be nice, but I don't see how the variables/values could be passed in a platform independant way. The build.sh / build.bat solution that is sourced before the exec is not very nice. Did somebody think of a better way ? I also have the following problem : I want to repeat the same task (copying files, zipping, comparing, ...) with a different parameter each time. I don't want to have a custom task that does the whole loop, since most of the work that is done in one loop could be done by existing task (zip, copydir, ...). Is there a reason a looping mechanism could not be included in Ant ? Also, wouldn't it be nice to be able to specify <target ifnot="A"> instead of <target if="">, where the task is only executed if "A" is not set, and returns fine all the time. It is in the same idea than a <try > rather than <target >. And in general way, it would be nice if a target could fail if something is not done (and that can't be done by another target). I don't know if what I write is clear, but I do my best. Thanks, Julien
