Maybe <apply> would benefit from these changes too ;-) --DD -----Original Message----- From: Conor MacNeill [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, February 08, 2003 8:27 AM To: Ant Developers List Subject: New <exec> and <java> input capability
I've recently added the capability to redirect input for the exec task. I then refactored this into a new class (Redirector) which I then applied to the Java task. For <exec? this means the following new capabilities: 1. you can use an error attribute to redirect stderr independently of stdout 2. you can use an errorProperty to store the stderr into a property 3. You can store to a file and to a property at the same time. 4. You can use logError="true" to send the error output to the Ant log when redirecting just stdout. 5. You can take input from a file with the "input" attribute 6. You can task input from a string with "inputstring". This gives access to Ant properties. The application of this to <java> task means all these features are also available to <java> in addition to <exec>'s existing outputProperty attribute. The only limitation at the moment is that you cannot redirect input for a non-forked java task - I'm working on that. If you have any issues with these changes, please let me know. I'll update the documenation soon.
