add ability for a project to have a before_define callback on subprojects
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: BUILDR-202
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BUILDR-202
Project: Buildr
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Core features
Affects Versions: 1.3.2
Reporter: Ittay Dror
Fix For: 1.3.4
Sometimes it is useful to preconfigure subprojects of a project (the project
acts as a configuration context). However, there's no way for the project to
arrange things so that if it has a before_define method, it will be called
before each subproject definition. The point is not to create an Extension that
will be called for all projects in the buildfile, just for the sub projects.
I think adding such a feature is possible, since each project registers its
callbacks in Project#initialize. Either then, or in Project#define, it can
locate its parent to find if it has a before_define method (or whatever other
mechanism)
