> Change AptTask to do up-front copying of all files
> --------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: BEEHIVE-372
> URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEEHIVE-372
> Project: Beehive
> Type: Improvement
> Components: Controls
> Versions: V1Beta
> Reporter: Kyle Marvin
> Priority: Minor
>
> If the ANT AptTask uses the "compileByExtension" flag, it incrementally
> processes each file extension on the input list one by one. For each
> extension, it will copy all input sources files of that extension to a .java
> file, then process/compile all files w/ the same extension as a group. (The
> copy is needed because apt will only take .java files as input)
> The rub comes if a file w/ one extension wants to reference a type declared
> in a file w/ a different non-java extension that is processed after it.
> Because the copy-to-java doesn't happen until the latter extension is reached
> in the list, the source parser can't find it and will ultimately give
> unresolved type errors.
> A better algorithm would be to do the copy-to-java step for all input files
> as a precursor to attempting to process any of them. This will offer much
> more flexibility in cross-extension type references.
> As a workaround, the user is always able to handle dependency ordering more
> directly by breaking a project build down into a series of <apt> invocations
> based upon dependency ordering requirements.
