First question - is there a way to dynamically add
via cmdline or -ish
things to the classpath for ant? (Paging Matt
Benson...)
Here I am... :) via command line is easy:
-lib dir-or-jar
That doesn't solve it, because we want people to just do "ant".
There is also
http://enitsys.sourceforge.net/ant-classloadertask/
which might be of use but still results in the same
ultimate problem of adding THAT library instead of
another. On ant-dev we have a dead discussion of a
similar task that could be shipped with Ant; I'm about
to resurrect that thread one last time and we'll see
what can be done for 1.7, if anything.
That would be convenient
Second - if not, can we do the equiv of an exec()
with ant ? create a
'top level' build.xml that when invoked, fixes up
the classpath and
re-invokes ant using the new classpath, passing
through all command line
params and targets?
You said "if not," but I'll address this anyway: You
can <java
classname="org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher"> or
<java classname="org.apache.tools.ant.Main">, but you
are on your own to keep up with the appropriate
command-line parameters. :( Not ideal IMO.
Right - that's a maintenance problem. Thanks
