Bug ID: 60027
Summary: Add <arg part1 part 2> options so arg tag can flow
over many lines.
Product: Ant
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: Core tasks
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
When using the exec task, it is possible to have to create very long (eg. 100
character) arguments if an executable requires that a single argument contains
two paths or multiple commands (eg. the tar --transform and sh -c commands).
This leads to unclear code.
Rewriting this in the form:
<arg part1="--transform=s"
part2="^build/linux/work/modes/java/reference"
part3="build/linux/deb-raw/processing-doc/usr/share/doc/processing-doc/reference:"
joiner=":" />
(for tar) or "sh -c" with
<arg part1="grep -r --longopt"
part2="foo --bar"
part3="find *.exe"
joiner=";" />
leads to much clearer code. (I suggest the joiner attribute since these very
long arguments often seem to have their own internal delimiters.)
