Thanks, Aaron, I did not notice there is a <available class=..> task in
ant. That will solve your problem. In fact, this is not related to how
the sensor is implemented. It's a matter of how the build script is
written.
I can make the same change to the portion of build.xml related to the
build sensor. However, since I will be starting the build case study
really soon, I am hesitant to make it optional.
Perhaps we can just add the tip to the documentation.
Cheers,
Cedric

How about something like this?
<!--

<!-- LOCC requires locc.jar and sensor.locc.jar in
ant/lib. -->
<!--

<target name="checkLoccAvailable"
description="Sets locc.available if the locc resource is found.">
<available property="locc.available"

<target name="locc" depends="checkLoccAvailable" if="locc.available"
thanks, aaron

Hi, Aaron and everybody else,
I remember someone has brought up this question before.
We cannot check whether build sensor is installed in
installBuildSensor task or some other custom ant task, because it
still requires that you have the implementation code availabe in the
java class path or ant library.
Does Ant come with a task that allows us check whether a particualar
class or jar file is available or not? If yes, then it's simple to
satisfy your feature request. But the problem is I don't think ant
has such a task.
Or does anybody else have any idea?
Cheers,
Cedric

Project: Hackystat
Type: Improvement
Reporter: Aaron A. Kagawa
Assigned to: Qin Zhang Priority: Minor
is there any reason why we can't check if the build sensor is
installed before calling the installBuildSensor target? I think it
would be a good thing for users to be able to build the system
without having to install all the sensors.
this will be important when we remove the sensor.*.jar files from out
hackyBuild/lib/ant directory and use hackyInstaller instead.
