I'm converting one of our java build systems from gnu make to ant. I need
my top-level build.xml file to pass the targets that are requested to all of
the subprojects. I was able to do that using javascript, but I think it
could be better, so I was hoping for some suggestions. In particular, I
found I had to do an addTask() for each target in the build.xml. I was
hoping there was some way to generalize that. Here's a distilled version of
what I have:
<!-- dosubproj target calls ant in each subproject -->
<target name="dosubproj">
<script language="javascript">
<![CDATA[
// Add new subprojects to this array. They'll be built
// in the order they appear in the array.
var subproj = new Array(
"jms",
"sniiop",
"shared", // remainder snipped
);
for (i = 0; i < subproj.length; i++) {
target = new java.io.File(testproj.getProperty("target"));
build = testproj.createTask('ant');
build.setAntfile("build.xml");
build.setDir(new java.io.File(testproj.getProperty("basedir") + "/"
+ subproj[i]));
build.setInheritAll(false);
// Pass the target name unless it's the default target
if(target != "") {
build.setTarget(target);
}
// Is there a better way to do this?
clean.addTask(build);
install.addTask(build);
main.addTask(build);
}
]]> </script>
</target>
Since I have the target name (I had to do a bit of a kludge for that, but
that's another post), it'd be nice if I could somehow use that to replace
the repetitive addTask() calls with something like
target.addTask(build).
Can that be done? Or is there a better all-around approach to what I'm
trying to do?
Thanks.
