Uhm and please disregard the comment pertaining to javacc ;) I cut 'n
pasted into a new build.xml to hack away on the part I needed :) I just
noticed I left the comment in place ;)

Help...this is driving me nuts ;)
Let's say I want to define a path - but for "whatever" reason parts of
the path do not exist as specified in a fileset or dirset. Below is
an example (please note - I have no /foo directory on my harddrive):
<project name = "dir-test" default = "output">
<taskdef resource = "net/sf/antcontrib/antlib.xml"/>
<path id = "PATH_REF_ID">
<fileset dir = "/foo">
<include name = "**/**.jar"/>
</fileset>
</path>
<pathconvert property = "PATH" refid = "PATH_REF_ID"/>
<target name = "output">
<!--
-
- Loop through all javacc files to compile...
-
-->
<for param = "path-part">
<path refid = "PATH_REF_ID"/>
<sequential>
<echo message = "@{path-part}"/>
</sequential>
</for>
</target>
</project>
Above, I actually tried two things - using a <pathconvert> as well as
trying to iterate over the path using <for>. Regardless, I get
flagged from ant stating /foo does not exist - which it doesn't ;)
Really, what I am trying to figure out is, in a much larger sense, if
I have filesets where some portions do exist and others do not, how
can I output what is there. One way was to wrap in a <try> <catch>
but I didn't really like that solution...as the failure arose and all
I could do was output a message stating "some parts do not exist"
It's not any better setting a property and using refid of the path
either - doesn't work - same error :|
Anyone have a good suggestion to the above? It's a long story as to
why I want to output in this way...but I have a reason for wanting to
do so :)
Thanks ahead of time!
