If looping is all you need search the mailing archives for "ForEach" it was submitted a while ago, but it never (to my knowledge) made it to the dist.

I have noticed a problem with ant, and that is performing loops. If I want a set of tasks to repeat several times based on a set of properties, the only way I can do this is using the <script> tags, and perform the loops in javascript. Also, it is not possible to use the <script> tags to envelope a set of tasks to loop through, such as: <script language="javascript"> for (i=0; i<10; i++) { </script> <echo message="This is my task to be repeated" /> <script language="javascript"> } </script> Instead, I have to create and execute the task in Javascript, which really takes away from the whole ANT XML build script thing. My current J2EE build script runs almost everything in a loop, so this means almost the entire build.xml is just Javascript!! Is there an alternate way to do this? Also, who is the maintainer of the <script> tasks? I am keen to know if such functionality (as described above) could be possible - I am volunteering to help develop the <script> task, but I need to get more famniliar with the task first.
