http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30457 static targets Summary: static targets Product: Ant Version: 1.1 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: Core AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Would it be a nice to have feature to make some of the targets run only once (irrespective of how times this target gets called). e.g <target name="init" static="true"> <property name="abc" value = "xyz"/> </target> <target name="compile" depends="init"> .. </target> <target name="package" depends="init"> .. </target> <target name="clean" depends="init"> .. </target> With this build.xml defination if one calls ant with targest clean, compile, package then init gets called three times (ant clean, compile, package). By adding new attribute like static at target level we could make the ant runtime call init only once. There is a workaround to this by setting a unique property in the said init target and using unless attribute .. But I belive that this not the better readable solution. i.e <target name="init" unless="initRanOnce"> .. <property name="initRanOnce" value="true"/> </target> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
