Will Glass-Husain commented on VELOCITY-169: -------------------------------------------- Found this old issue. Thanks for suggesting it. If you are still interested, I'd be willing to commit this if you could write a unit test and documentation. If you want a simpler way to contribute, you might put this into the Velocity wiki at http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-velocity/ContributedCode > Let's see if we can make Texen task to SKIP file generation if the results > are UP TO DATE - working solution proposed > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: VELOCITY-169 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-169 > Project: Velocity > Type: Improvement > Components: Texen > Versions: 1.3.1 > Environment: Operating System: All > Platform: All > Reporter: tagunov > Assignee: Velocity-Dev List > Priority: Minor > Attachments: TexenCond.java > > Hello, developers! > I know that in the general case we can not detect that the output of TEXEN > ant task is newer then ALL the sources - cause we don't know all the sources. > But in a specific > situation - if we assume that ALL THE SOURCE FILES are located in the > TEMPLATEPATH directory and ALL > THE FILES in the TEMPLATEPATH directory are template sources WE CAN compare > their timestamp to > the output file lastModified() timestamp. > I'm attaching a SAMPLE IMPLEMENTATION (the Ant > task I'm using now) as an example -- it maybe a new Ant task (I called it > TEXENCOND - conditional TEXEN) > or a boolean flag on the regular TEXEN task. > Motivation: I use VELOCITY VERY EARLY in my build > chain: > TexenTask->JavaCC->JavaC > so not changing lastModified() on the files generated by > Texen really saves an amount of build time and avoids lots of messages from > JavaCC cluttering the > screen. > And I can imagine even using it like this: > TexenTask->JJTree->JavaCC- > >JavaC > Hoping the code I use for myself will be usefull for others too! -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
