I'm interested in writing a script that repeats some task a user-
specified number of times. This is useful where the behavior of
JUnit tests is randomized (explicitly or, in this case, due to
concurrency irregularities), and a test sample of size larger than 1
is needed.
The best solution we've been able to come up with is the "for" task
from ant-contrib. Unfortunately, "for" iterates over lists (or
tokenized strings), not numbers. So we can do something like this:
> ant -Drepeat="1,2,3" sometarget
<target name="sometarget">
<for list="${repeat}>
(do something)
</for>
</target>
Clearly, this isn't ideal. I might explore doing something with the
"math" task in ant-contrib. What other recommendations do you have?
