Hi, I have a few applications, say "foo1" and "foo2", all needs to be build in the .war directory structure. I'd like to be able to type "build foo1.compile", "build foo2.clean", etc. Since the tasks are all the same, I managed to create a general "app.compile" target that relies on the
property "app.name" to be set. But in order to do the above, I have the following block in build.xml
<target name="foo1.compile">
<antcall target="app.compile">
<param name="app.name" value="foo1"/>
</antcall>
</target>
<target name="foo2.compile">
<antcall target="app.compile">
<param name="app.name" value="foo2"/>
</antcall>
</target>
and similarly for other targets and applications. This is fine, but I'm wondering whether ant can parse the target when I type "build foo.compile", it automatically extracts the app name as "foo" and make a call to
<antcall target="app.compile">
<param name="app.name" value="foo"/>
</antcall>
I can write the parsing in the build.bat/build.sh, but can one do it inside ant?
Thanks.
