Hi all,
I am building a framework (pure WO, no wonder), and trying to get the
projects that depend on it to bundle it, as described in the
"Embedding WOFrameworks" wiki entry.
So, a few questions, about the framework project:
1. The "build" target does not depend on the "compile" target, so,
does the standard build depend on Eclipse's incremental compiling?
2. If the above is true, what exactly is the purpose of the "compile"
target, what does WOCompile do differently?
3. The "compile" target in the framework failed because I didn't have
the Frameworks folder in my users's Library. After creating the
Frameworks folder, which I guessed to be the quickest solution, the
<wocompile srcdir="Sources" destdir="bin"> task failed with a
NullPointerException. Any suggestions?
4. Can I modify the "compileAndBuild" so that it works like the
"build" (ditch "compile"), in short, why should I use
"compileAndBuild" when using the ant from another project ant
(embedding the framework)? I guess that is kind of the same as the
question nr. 2.
Also, another question regarding the embedding process described on
the wiki... It uses a third "project" to do all the bundling and
stuff. I'm trying to avoid that by modifying the ant build of the app
project directly. I use ant occasionally, but am far from an expert,
can anyone tell me if I am doing something very evil? What I do is this:
In the init.build target:
<!-- Framework build -->
<ant dir="../Framework" antfile="build.xml"
target="compileAndBuild"></ant>
In the build.woapp target:
<!-- Framework inclusion -->
<frameworks root="../Framework/dist" embed="true">
<include name="*.framework"/>
</frameworks>
In the compile target, under classpath:
<!-- Framework stuff-->
<fileset dir="../Framework/dist">
<include name="**/*.jar" />
</fileset>
Also, what do you think of making the embedding process a part of the
standard builds? I guess that two properties (one containing the
framework project names to embed, and a flag indicating if they
should be embedded) could be used to do what I do above, but without
referencing the framework names in the ant itself, only in the
props... Uhm, would that be even possible?
Thanks
F
