Hi,
I'm reworking the API of the various tasks which take source as input,
so they can handle our various types such as FileCollection and
FileTree. This includes the tasks: Compile, GroovyCompile, ScalaCompile,
Javadoc, Groovydoc, Scaladoc, Checkstyle, CodeNarc.
I'd like to keep the ability to keep the ability to use a source
directory or set of source directories. So, I'm thinking something like
the following, instead of the srcDirs property:
void src(Object... source) // Interprets source as per
CopySpec.from(source):
void setSrc(Object source) // Equivalent to discarding all the current
source and calling source(source)
FileTree getSrc() // Returns the tree of source.
Plus all the methods on PatternFilterable: include(), exclude(), etc.
Some examples:
compileJava {
src 'src/main/java' // includes all files under
$projectDir/src/main/java
src 'src/java/Source1.java', 'src/java/Source2.java' // includes
the 2 specified source files
src ['src/main/java', 'src/Source1.java']
src source.main.java // all java source in the 'main' source set
src { javaSrcDirNames.collect { "$srcRoot/$it" } } // 0.7 behaviour
include 'org/gradle/api/**'
}
and you can do things like:
copy {
from compileJava.src
into 'some/dir'
}
Some questions:
- Should we call the method from() instead of src(), to be consistent
with the Copy task?
- Do we need the include and exclude methods on these tasks? Source set
has them, as does FileTree, so you can do:
source.main.java {
include 'some/pattern/**'
exclude 'some/other/pattern/**'
}
or
compileJava {
src fileTree {
from 'some/src/dir'
include 'some/pattern/**'
exclude 'some/pattern/**'
}
}
