Hi Olivier,

Ant can do the job too. Here is a simple build-file.


<project name="XSPPrecompile" default="precompile" basedir=".">
 <property name="cocoon.home" value="build/webapp"/>
 <property name="cocoon.work" value="work"/>



 <target name="precompile">
    <java classname="org.apache.cocoon.bean.XSPPrecompileWrapper"
          fork="yes">    

       <!-- the commandline switches -->
       <arg line="-c ${cocoon.home} -w ${cocoon.work}"/>

       <!-- add here things you need -->
       <classpath>
          <fileset dir="${cocoon.home}/WEB-INF/lib">
             <include name="**/*.jar" />
          </fileset>
          <fileset dir="${cocoon.home}/WEB-INF/classes">
             <include name="**/*.class" />
          </fileset>
       </classpath>   
    </java>
 </target>
</project>


Put this ('precompile.xml') to the cocoon-root folder of your
cocoon-distribution and you can use the bundled ant from cocoon by:

java -cp tools/lib/ant.jar;tools/lib/ant-launcher.jar
       org.apache.tools.ant.Main -f precompile.xml

will generate all to the work-directory (cocoon.work-property). 


Best Regards,

Simon
