Hi, all.
Does ANT allow an element-based statement of target dependencies, rather
than an attribute based one? In other words, is there any way to say:
<target name="build-thing">
<depends>
build-subthing1
</depends>
<depends>
build-subthing2
</depends>
-- other stuff
</target>
rather than
<target name="build-thing" depends="build-subthing1, build-subthing2">
-- other stuff
</target>
Why do I want this?
I generate my build.xml from a list in an xml file via xslt. I have a
project named "thing" that depends on other projects subthing1 and
subthing2. I want to produce a target with the name build-thing with
depends="build-subthing1, build-subthing2"
I currently have a projectlist.xml that specifies these as:
<project name="thing">
<dependency type="project" name="subthing1"/>
<dependency type="project" name="subthing2"/>
</project>
By simply applying a style task to
<xsl:for-each select="project">
<target name="build-{@name}" depends="init">
-- other stuff
</target>
</xsl:for-each>
gives me a build.xml with
<target name="build-thing" depends="init">
-- other stuff
</target>
XSLT like:
<xsl:for-each select="project">
<target name="build-{@name}" depends="init">
<xsl:for-each select="depends">
<depends>
build-{@name}
</depends>
</xsl:for-each>
-- other stuff
</target>
</xsl:for-each>
would give me
<target name="build-thing">
<depends>
build-subthing1
</depends>
<depends>
build-subthing2
</depends>
-- other stuff
</target>
I cannot figure out how to make xslt give me
<target name="build-thing" depends="build-subthing1, build-subthing2">
-- other stuff
</target>
I am constrained against using javascript, as they want this entirely
done either in core ant or in xslt space.
