Has anyone experimented with reusing the targets within the build.xml file?
I frequently find myself wanting to work on only a subsystem of the project.
I could add a new target to the build.xml file - but that publishes my local
work to every developers machine, which isn't appropriate in this case.
What I'm currently considering is moving the contents of the project to a
new file (common.xml), replacing them in build.xml with an XML include, then
creating mybuild.xml which includes common.xml, plus whatever other changes
I need. build.xml remains under source control, as does common.xml, but
mybuild.xml is not under control.
I'm sure this will work, and I'm also sure that it is kind of clumsy - has
anybody discovered a better way to achieve target reuse?
Thanks,
Danil
