Hi, I have written a simple templatization mechanism for Ant buildfiles, which basically lets me create a buildfile for a project. What I'd like to do now is to change the initialization procedure of Ant so that it first creates a buildfile from the template if it is missing or out of date with respect to the template. But I'm not quite sure what's the best place to make these changes. The options I see are:
- writing a custom shell script which checks if the buildfile needs to be created (or updated) before handing over to ant - adapting org.apache.tools.ant.Main to do that piece of work first - or even at a lower level (ProjectHelper) I think the various aproaches have their pros and cons. But if I also want the <ant> task to use the template mechanism I probably have to write my own ProjectHelper aswell, right? Then my next question is: How do I plug in my own ProjectHelper? Thanks in advance, -- knut
