No, it is not common at all, to say the least, to try something like this. Build files are overwhelmingly at the top level of a project, or in a top-level subdirectory for build-related stuff. I cannot think of any reason to organize a project like you propose.
If the intent was to compartmentalize compilation of different independent piece of Java code, there are several other Ant idioms to achieve that: 1) build.xml src/java/piece1/com/foo/piece1 <java srcdir="src/java/piece1"/> src/java/piece2/com/foo/piece2 <java srcdir="src/java/piece2"/> 2) build.xml piece1/build.xml piece1/src/java/com/foo/piece1 <java srcdir="src/java"/> piece2/build.xml piece2/src/java/com/foo/piece2 <java srcdir="src/java"/> --DD -----Original Message----- From: Ray Tayek [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, July 16, 2002 4:10 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: build file in package (ant and netbeans) hi, trying to use ant to build some java files in com.foo.package. but i would like to have the build.xml file in .../com/foo/package. so it looks like the path to the source has to be ../../../ - which will include all kinds of things that i do not want. i suppose one could do this with includes or excludes or filesets, but i was wondering if any of you have found an idiom for doing this? thanks --- ray tayek http://home.attbi.com/~rtayek/ actively seeking telecommuting work vice chair orange county java users group http://www.ocjug.org/ mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] hate spam? http://samspade.org/ssw/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
