Tell me more about <dependset>. I have some ideas there and I need them for some changes I am considering for <ejbjar> and I'd like to know if we are thinking the same thing :-)
Sure thing. Here is an example:
<dependset>
<srcfiles
dir = "${basedir}"
includes = "${cookie.file.path}, ${dtd.file.path}, common.xsl"/>
<targetfiles
dir = "${basedir}"
includes = "${output.dir}/*.html"/>
</dependset><srcfiles> and <targetfiles> are filesets
You can specify arbitrarily many <srcfiles> and/or <targetfiles>, but at least one of each.
If any of the files specified in <srcfiles> is more recent than any of the files
specified in <targetfiles>, all <targetfiles> are removed.
This is the simplest possible syntax I could come up with. Let me know if you like it.
My implementation makes use of MergeMapper and SourceFileScanner. I had to make a few extensions to each. I believe these extensions are useful beyond just <dependset>.
-- but first lets make sure the syntax is agreeable...
I wouldn't know what the "tao of ant" would be :-)
