http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10276 [PATCH] added <import> declaration in project to include other projects ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2002-07-10 07:13 ------- J.Pietschmann suggested me to look at xslt for inspiration, and now I agree that some kind of inherit can be done while keeping my concens in check. Suppose this target: <target name="mytarget" depends="a,b,c">...</target> is in a file that is imported by my buildfile. Composition means: <target name="mylocaltarget" depends="a,b,c"> <dostuff1/> <antcall target="mytarget"> <dostuff2/> </target> With this I can run "mylocaltarget" as an enhanced "mytarget". What I /cannot/ do, as you pointed out, is have all the targets that depend on mytarget depend on mylocaltarget instead. What could be done is callbacks, like: <target type="pre" name="mytarget"> <dostuff1/> </target> <target type="pre" name="mytarget"> <dostuff2/> </target> Which I really don't like, since other imports can do the same in a difficult to control manner and things get out of control. New way I like: <target name="mytarget" inheritdeps="true" depends="additionaldeps"> <dostuff1/> <apply-import/> <dostuff2/> </target> So I will change "import" to "include" and make the new import stuff. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
