hi there, i have the reqirement to do a java call for each file in a filelist.
first i tought i'd use the "Apply" task, but then again i do not realy want to start a new process and load a new JVM etc. for each file i handle. so next i tried with macrodef but this gets rather clumsy when a lot of files are handled as well (when i first saw the macrodef examples in the ant documentation i thougth it would unroll the filesets...) so now i found for and foreach from the ant-contrib *but* 1) i do not want to install additional tools if not absolutely necessary 2) some of the other tasks seem rather obscure to me (AntCallBack, RunTarget, Throw) so i'm a bit worried of the quality of the contributions 3) for and foreach are existing for a long time already and seem to do pretty useful things. so why are they not part of ant itself? is there a more ant-y way of doing what they do? (appart from writing my own ant task...) any help appreciated -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/ant-for-and-foreach-tasks-use-them-or-not-tp21353056p21353056.html Sent from the Ant - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
