I'm running a gradle build that generates Java classes from an external
resource (via wsimport, actually). I want to store them in my main source
directory, src/main/java. Other than simply hardwiring that directory name
into my build file, is there some other way to refer to that directory?
For example, my wsimport task looks like this:
task wsimport(dependsOn: processResources) {
doLast {
sourceSets.main.classesDir.mkdirs()
ant {
taskdef(name: 'wsimport',
classname: 'com.sun.tools.ws.ant.WsImport',
classpath: configurations.jaxws.asPath)
wsimport(keep:true,
destdir: sourceSets.main.classesDir,
sourcedestdir: 'src/main/java', <-- Hard wired directory name here
wsdl: "http://www.webservicex.net/CurrencyConvertor.asmx?wsdl";)
}
}
}
I also only want this task to run if I haven't run it before, so I also have
the following line:
wsimport.onlyIf { !(new File("src/main/java/net/webservicex")) }
This is all working, but it feels brittle because of the explicit source
directory name. Is there a better, more general way to do this?
Thanks,
Ken
