I have made a couple of tasks that allow you to read/write properties to a
property file, in a central place, so the properties are available between
different
processes, and also are global.
Is there any facility such as this planned for Ant?
Description:
The following task will set the property 'testProperty' under topic
'testTopic', storing it in
a central property file.
<SetProperty topic="testTopic" name="testProperty" value="BOOYASHAH" />
To retrieve the property as an ant property, you could use the following
task:
<GetProperty topic="testTopic" name="testProperty" />
Then this request would echo the value of the property.
<echo message="${testTopic:testProperty}" />
You can also retrieve the property and store it to an ant property under a
different name:
<GetProperty topic="testTopic" name="testProperty" to="testAlias" />
Then this request would echo the value of the property.
<echo message="${testAlias}" />
The major difference, is that the properties are persistent, so you can read
and set them across
multiple processes, projects and tasks.
