Hi folks, We use our own version of ant.bat and ant.sh in all our webapp projects. Basically, its just a copy of what comes with Ant, and it allows us to have Ant "preinstalled" for developers who download the project. So far so good.
Now we have tweaked these files a little to add in any jar files which are found in the webapps WEB-INF/lib and web-INF/jars file...this was pretty straightforward, and it makes it real easy to include 3rd party jars when building a project...you just drop them into one of these directories. What I'd like to do now is modify my copy of lcp.bat so that I can also tell it NOT to add certain jars to the classpath. The easiest way to do this specify hardcoded names (which is what we have been doing)--the downside is that it isn't very portable; every time you create a new project or move one of these jars between /jars and /lib you have to remember to tweak the ant.bat file. SO...I'm trying to add entries to the build.properties file to indicate the jars that should be skipped. The problem is with the DOS bat file. I can execute a 'find' to determine whether or not a string is in the props file (returns a '1' or a '0'), but I can't figure out how to get that into a system variable so I can evaluate it. I thought something like this might work: set VAR= < find ... if %VAR%=="1" echo Yep else echo Nope but I can't seem to get the syntax right. I know my find statement is working correctly; I just can't figure out how to evaluate the results. Any suggestions?
