The "problem" with the current build.properties is, that it's loaded
from within the buildfile
and you cant add additional listeners (or am I wrong here?).
I don't think you are, and it's indeed problematic.
So instead of typing
ant -listener org.apache.tools.ant.listener.Log4jListener
you could just type
ant
and having a ant.logger.properties with
logger=org.apache.tools.ant.listener.Log4jListener
log4j.rootLogger=ERROR, LogFile
log4j.logger.org.apache.tools.ant.Project=INFO
[... http://ant.apache.org/manual/listeners.html#Log4jListener ]
The Launcher which will automatically load these settings and adds the
logger/listeners as it would be configured on commandline.
OK, sounds like you are proposing to do this. I wasn't sure earlier
whether you referred to existing behavior I had missed, or new
proposed behavior. An alternative to auto-magically loading a
properties file might be to add support for the usual @file syntax on
the CLI, where long command line args with lots of properties can be
easily added. This keeps it explicit, and there are still the existing
env. vars. mechanism to automate the specification of @file if one
wants. What do you think? --DD
