Having been doing some work documenting scripting recently, I want to
note some current limitations with ant's script support.
<scriptdef>
-no automatic check for attributes/elements declared. The script code
needs to do that themselves, which leads to...
-bad handling of BuildExceptions raised in scripts. This is because they
get turned into the script-language-specific faults and then back out
again, with the result that you get full stack traces.
-no expansion of properties in nested text
-no support for resource sources of scripts, such as things in JAR
files. This stops you bundling scripts into antlibs
<scriptcondition>
-no way to pass in parameters to the condition
-no expansion of properties in nested text
-no support for resource sources of scripts, such as things in JAR
files. This stops you bundling scripts into antlibs
I havent looked at the others yet...
