Similar to "location" but with URI.
Pick the name you think it is more appropriate.
Some thoughts:
<property name="x" uriOfFile="${fileName}"/> <property name="x" valueAsUri="${fileName}"/> <property name="x" locationAsUri="${fileName}"/> <property name="x" uriForLocation="${fileName}"/>
Wierd names...
Alternatively, we could have something more general that you can pass a URI and knows how to use it, but alternatively if the value if that of a file, then it construct a URI for it.
<property name="x" uri="${fileName}"/>
Seems fine.
As long as we get the expected behavior I do not mind.
What do others think of this? Maybe we shouldn't add yet another attribute but a complete new task?
<seturi property="x" location="build.xml"/> <seturi property="x" resources="org/apache/tools/ant/taskdefs/defaults.properties"/> <seturi property="x" url="http://www.apache.org/"/>
I'd add a uri attribute, and make that the only way of dealing with the above. It's more flexible and makes it easier to upgrade later to a VFS.
