Hi,
I have a little patch that allows one to create a set of paths from a dependency file that lists the JAR files required by a project.
This is in part to:
-> Have a single build.xml for many projects so I want to keep definitions outside the build.xml file. My motivation is the maintenance of all the turbine related projects. I would like to have a single build.xml file and just change properties files where appropriate for each project. So I would like to ...
-> Localize JAR dependencies to a single location. Right now this is a
simple text file that I generate from the Gump project descriptors but eventually I would like to use the project descriptors in a more direct
way.
The dep lists that are currently employed are also being used to automatically download any jars required for the build. The file
looks something like this:
http://24.157.133.102/patches/deps.list
So this list has two purposes: the downloading of jars and being use for constructing the classpath with JARs located in a local JAR repository (the way I have it rigged for now anyway). So I would really like to keep this info in one place.
This is what I currently have in the turbine3 build.xml file:
<!-- Create a classpath from the deps.list file using
the ${lib.repo} as the base directory --> <path
id="classpath"
dir="${lib.repo}"
pathlist="deps.list"
/>I don't know if this patch is the best way to do this, if there is an easier or better way I'm all ears. I'm in the process of trying to get a JAR repository working for the turbine projects and unify all the build files so any suggestions would be much appreciated.
The patch is available here:
