I had to use this syntax instead:
compileJava.dependsOn("copySources")
but works, thanks!
I ended up having to use ant.copy instead of the copy task as the
copyTask doesn't support includeFile. Here is what I ended up with:
task copySources << {
ant.copy(todir: "build/tmp/mapiToCompile") {
fileset(dir: "/Users/phil/dev/sag/optimize/trunk/src/java/core") {
includesfile(name:
"/Users/phil/dev/sag/optimize/trunk/build/dependencies/compile/mapi.txt")
excludesfile(name:
"/Users/phil/dev/sag/optimize/trunk/build/dependencies/compile/mapi-exclude.txt")
}
}
}
