Title: Subproject builds and a master build

Hi Nicolas,

 

Well the solution I've come up with is this:

 

1) Each subproject build file defines property subprojectx.class.path = ${java.class.path}

 

2) Thus when using this build file, the caller must have setup the environment CLASSPATh correctly.

 

3) When a master build calls the sub project build, it sets the subprojectx.class.path property as required

 

Anybody come up with another/better solution?

 

Thanks

 

Mick

Hi,

 

This looks like the same problem that I have, for which I posted a question yesterday on the list. I am highly interested in any answer you could get.

 

For now, I just declare the compilation output directory (with .class files) from subprojectA in the compilation classpath of subprojectB (with a <pathelement location="${subprojectAoutputdir}"/> directive). The problem is that each subproject must explicitely list their dependencies in their compilation classpath...

Objet : Subproject builds and a master build

Hi all,

I've a couple of subproject build files that work independently from each other. To correctly build some subprojects, it requires the necessary jars are in the classpath: Thus is subprojectB depends on subprojectA, then running subprojectB means that you must have subprojectA.jar in the classpath.

Now I'm writing a master build file which builds all the others via ant targets. Thus I'd build subprojectA, and then subprojectB. What I'd like to know is how do I modify the classpath so that when I run subprojectB (via the ant target) it see the recently built subprojectA.jar?

Thanks

Mick
