This is my first real addition to Ant as a committer, so I thought I would
send a message about it and see what others thought (as it can easily be
removed if its problematic for some reason).
I was attempting to write a way to short circuit unit tests if they had
already been done and are up-to-date, and one of the things that needs to be
done (and certainly not the only thing) is to check the results files
against the Java test case. Like this:
<mapper classname="org.apache.tools.ant.util.PackageNameMapper"
from="*Test.java" to="${test.data.dir}/TEST-*Test.xml"/>
This works very nicely within an <uptodate> inside a <condition> (I'll leave
the other conditions as an exercise to the reader!).
What it does is replace pieces of the path (whatever matches the "*") from
strings like "org/apache/tools/ant/util/PackageNameMapper" with
"org.apache.tools.ant.util.PackageNameMapper".
It may only be useful for <junit> / XML formatter type files, but it seems
handy enough to be possibly useful in some other situations.
Let me know if you think I should make it an official mapper type, and I'll
gladly do that and document it along with the other mappers. How about the
name "package" as the mapper type?
