Hi,
Normally, the signature for the start of an ant
build file is in the following form:
<project name="projA" default="compile" basedir="D:/source">
Can 'basedir' be set and/or reset elsewhere in the ant file ?
For example, I would like to abstract all hard-coded directory
information into a seperate XML file that gets included as part
of the build process. This way, the "core" buidl file does not change,
only a few properties in a XML file.
Can 'basedir' be set
(A) before the <project> element as below :
Can it be set in "user-build.xml" ?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!-- user-build.xml has the property settings -->
<!DOCTYPE project [
<!ENTITY user SYSTEM "user-build.xml">
<!ENTITY common SYSTEM "common-build.xml">
]>
<project name="projA" default="compile" basedir="D:/source">
....
....
</project>
(B) after the <project> element ?
<project name="projA" default="compile">
<!-- set basedir after start of project element -->
<property name="basedir" value="D:/source"/>
....
....
</project>
Thanks,
Raju
