http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28990 Extend <java> task to provide <apply>-like features Summary: Extend <java> task to provide <apply>-like features Product: Ant Version: 1.6.1 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: Other Component: Core tasks AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is similar in spirit to bug 8559, but instead of extending <arg>, it would be really nice if <java> itself provided <apply>-like features, like supporting source and dest directories, filesets, selectors and mappers, and being able to pass the arguments that are selected to the java argument list as arguments. It would greatly reduce the need to write tasks in Java for each java program I want to invoke in this way (much of which is boilerplate). --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
