Jan:
Thanks for the reply!
Yeah, I know I can unzip or unjar...
Really, this isn't functionality I need per say... I had been thinking
of a way to package up my build environment for others to use in
conjunction with Ivy... As my environment contains a number of reusable
things - such as XML files containing macrodefs - I was hoping to
package it all up into something like a jar file...
I am still learning Ivy so maybe there is a way to use it for all my
files...
Perhaps, with regards to <import> an additional attribute could be
defined? For instance:
<import resource = "/some/dir/to/jarfile/somejar.jar" path =
"/foo/bar/build.xml"/>
Where the resource attribute specifies a path to the jar file and path
represents the path within the jar file? Just a thought...
Anyway - I don't specifically need this kind of functionality, I just
thought it'd be neat if there was a way to do it :)
Thanks again!

"problem": a project must have a basedir from where you could do calculate all the paths. Not
really easy - if possible. What is "/"?
So you cant use the bunch of buildfiles from an archive.
But you can extract these files ...
And (I tested this) you can do this in your main buildfile:
imported-buildfiles.zip contains only b.xml:
<project name="B">
<echo>${ant.project.name}</echo>
<target name="imported">
<echo>imported</echo>
</target>
</project>
build.xml is:
<project>
<unzip src="imported-buildfiles.zip" dest="."/>
<import file="b.xml"/>
</project>
$dir
14.09.2007 08:44 102 build.xml
14.09.2007 08:42 192 imported-buildfiles.zip
$ant -p
Buildfile: build.xml
[unzip] Expanding: C:\TEMP\ant-test\imported-buildfiles.zip into
C:\TEMP\ant-test
[echo] ${ant.project.name}
Main targets:
Other targets:
B.imported

Betreff: Import build files from a jar?
I was wondering if its possible to import build files from a Jar file?
For instance, lets "assume" I wrote a bunch of re-usable Ant scripts,
placed them in a zip/jar file and wanted to import a build.xml
>from said
zip/jar file... The import task doesn't seem to work this way... Is
there something else I can use or is this type of functionality not
supported?
