Hi ant gurus This has been an issue that I keep running into, and i was wondering if you ant gurus could help show me "The Ant Way" to do this...
At runtime, i have a set of repetivie tasks that i need to run. For example (using the same set criteria as my previous post), let's say i need to run the <jar> task multiple times, creating a set of jar files. The names/locations of the jar files are determined by some set of non-standard configuration (by non-standard i mean that it's not something that any of the internal structures like fileset can deal with, i can write a custom datatype to deal with this configuration). Note, I can not specify each file explicitly, since there is no way i can know the filenames beforehand. So, given this, what is the proper ant way to deal with iterating over a set of criteria that is defined at runtime? Is it to use the "foreach" task of ant-contrib? I didn't think so since ant-contrib is not part of the core ant distribution. Am i wrong about this? Is it to write a custom task that knows how to deal with the iteration itself? Is it something else? TIA -tka --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
