Haven't looked into the code recently so this is mostly a high-level idea,
class GeronimoApplicationXml < Rake::FileTask
def initialize(*args) #:nodoc:
super
enhance do |task|
// do you stuff
File.open(task.name, "wb") { |file| file.write content }
end
end
...
end
class Buildr::Project
def geronimo_application_xml()
ear = package(:ear)
descriptor = GeronimoApplicationXml.define_task(project.path_to(:target,
...), ear)
ear.enhance [ descriptor ]
ear.enhance do |zip|
zip.include descriptor, :path => "..."
end
end
end
so in your projects where you need to generate the descriptor, you only need
to call geronimo_application_xml. Should be easy to turn into a plugin.
Hope this helps,
