Hallo!
In our projects, we have problems keeping all dependencies in sync, so I
thought we could use a special XML format to represent dependencies and
generate (with XSLT) program-specific dependency information from that
central file. Main avantages are that everything is centrally kept and that
we are then independent from a specific IDE and build process.
We need to represent dependencies for:
* make/ant target dependencies (we haven't moved to Ant yet, but I'm
working on it... :)
* javac/jikes classpath
* <project>.jpx (JBuilder project files).
* <project>.library (JBuilder library files).
* <project>.mf (Manifest files).
Here is my first thought on the subject ; any comments welcome :
<!DOCTYPE dependencies [
<!-- A Jar file constituting a Library -->
<!ELEMENT jar EMPTY>
<!ATTLIST jar path CDATA 'lib'>
<!ATTLIST jar file NMTOKEN #REQUIRED>
<!-- A Library -->
<!ELEMENT library jar+>
<!ATTLIST library name ID #REQUIRED>
<!-- The Jar file for a Project (defaults to ./"Project name".jar) -->
<!ELEMENT projectJar EMPTY>
<!ATTLIST projectJar path CDATA '.'>
<!ATTLIST projectJar file NMTOKEN #REQUIRED>
<!-- A direct Project dependency -->
<!ELEMENT direct EMPTY>
<!ATTLIST direct name IDREF #REQUIRED>
<!-- A runtime Project dependency -->
<!ELEMENT runtime EMPTY>
<!ATTLIST runtime name IDREF #REQUIRED>
<!-- A compile-time indirect Project dependency -->
<!ELEMENT compiletime EMPTY>

<!ELEMENT project (projectJar?,direct*,compiletime*,runtime*)>
<!ATTLIST project name ID #REQUIRED>
<!-- The Root Element (specifies with which JDK to compile).-->
<!ELEMENT dependencies (library*, project*)>
<!ATTLIST dependencies jdk CDATA #REQUIRED>
