The important part of the coding is
} else if (arg.equals("-buildfile") || arg.equals("-file")
|| arg.equals("-f")) {
try {
--> buildFile = new File(args[i + 1].replace('/',
File.separatorChar));
i++;
where you can see, all slashes are converted to platform specific separator
character.
Therefore an URL would be modified, therefore you canīt use an URL for
buildfile.
Another possibility would be via another Ant option (-builduri or so), but
there is nothing like that in the oata.Main class.
I havenīt heard (or canīt remind) anything about providing that. But you can
try to implement that for your own. Simplest would be with a kind of local
cache
- check whether the file is local
- if not download the file to local
- start ant with the local file
For checking a download I wrote a <scriptdef> called "require". You can
see it in the posting about "auto download of antlibs" [1].
