http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28447 Add an "private" attribute to targets Summary: Add an "private" attribute to targets Product: Ant Version: 1.6.1 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: Other Component: Core AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sometimes we have targets that are really only useful as a "subroutine" sort of thing. For example, we might have target A that depends on target B, and has an unless attribute for property Foo. Target B consists of an uptodate check and sets property Foo if things are up-to-date. It makes no sense to call target B from the command line. It would be nice if there were an optional attribute on targets that would allow you to mark a target as "for internal use only" and would not show up in ant -projecthelp (even if a description were specified), and would cause an error if called from the command line. This would also make it easier when generating documentation from build scripts to know "public" or "main" targets from the subroutine type targets. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
