RE: "if" task

[Brett Porter]

I'm a bit scared to weigh into this debate/holy war, but here goes :)

What about treating contrib like optional? Include it as a separate download
but still under the main umbrella?

Personally, I found it difficult without  at first, but once I figured
it out its now just fine and I rarely have to use the "if, unless" feature
of a task. Its all about getting the structure of your build right and this
is probably the very reason  is left out - too easy to write lazy,
poorly structured builds with it :)

Anyone who really wants it should be made to download it separately (or
write it themselves... surely it can be done in about 5 lines of code
exluding class & function definitions?!)

Anyway, my A$0.04 (Needed to up it to get the $0.02 USD - darn exchange rate
:)

Cheers,
Brett

I have a very pragmatic solution to this problem.  Include a reference to
the contrib stuff in both the resources and FAQ sections of the ANT
documentation.  Someone has already mentioned that it is in the FAQ of the
website, but I didn't check that because I had already checked the FAQ that
came with the download.  If it is put in a prominent place where newbies can
easily find it, it will no doubt save them a lot of time, and would have
saved me a lot of time.

Now I have a question for you Steve:
You said you don't have much need for conditionality apart from .
This is exactly what I want to use it for, but there is no conditionality
built into fail either.  So how do you do it?

RE: "if" task

[Brett Porter]

this is a faq on the ant site. You can use the condition task in ant 1.4

I have seen a reference to a task called "if" in the dev mailing list.  It
mentioned something called ant-contrib, which I found as a project on
sourceforge, but it didn't seem to contain an if task.
Does anyone know where I can get this extension?
Why on earth isn't such basic functionality included in the standard ant
tasks?  The whole process of creating a new target with an "if" attribute
for every conditional execution is very ugly.

Has anyone out there written (or know where i can find) an scp task? (scp ==

secure copy, one of the ssh tools)?

RE: Replacing Ant 1.3 with Ant 1.4.1 in Forte for Java 3.0...

[Brett Porter]

You should be able to replace the module from NetBeans with the forte one,
but you might get better help on the nb-user list for that... Does the
latest Forte jumbo patch have it perhaps?

Hello all...new to this list by-the-way,

Has anyone been able replacing Ant 1.3 with Ant 1.4.1 in Forte for Java 3.0,
yet?
The NetBeans 3.3.1 IDE has Ant 1.4.1, but the latest Forte does not.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

nested filtersets in ant 1.4.1

[Brett Porter]

Hi,

I was wondering if there is a reason this doesn't work:






...





instead you must use:





ie, you can't nest filtersets into a filterset. Is this intended, and if so
is there a different way to do it or a plan to do it?

Thanks,

-get on ant-dev

-get CVS read access to the source, so you are up to date with the rest of
development

-look at the task guidelines in the docs; follow them, esp the bits about
unit tests and docs (we dont want to add any tasks without unit tests, if
someone else has to write them it is extra work for whoever commits the
code)

-post the submission as an attachment to a feature request on bugzilla

-harass people till it gets committed or denied with a good reason

What does the task do, BTW?

Hi,

This was discussed late last year. I haven't had time since, but have just
started work on an SSH/SCP library for Java. I am basing it on OpenSSH, but
intending to release it under the Apache license. I believe this is ok,
based on the source code comments about usage of OpenSSH, and since that's C
and this is Java, it is only a remotely derived work. I will host the
project on sourceforge.

If anyone knows of a good SSH library for Java compatible with the Apache
license, let me know now!

I'd say its about a month off as I have only small amounts of time to work
on it. If anyone is interested in participating, let me know and I'll get
sourceforge project setup faster.

Brett,
Thanks for coding this. SSH/SCP tasks have always been on the ant 2 wish
list, but if they can be done now, then all the better.

As Peter pointed out,the licenses are incompatible. But if you host it
somewhere on sourceforge then it can be linked to off the web site.

See http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/ant_task_guidelines.html for info on task
docs, testing.

RE: task for full text search

don't think I've ever seen one, but if you can't find one, how about writing

various tasks (,  ...),
which sound like they can help, but can't find a solution, which would not

RE: Soft link task?

[Brett Porter]

Not that I know of. I can't see the problem with using exec - the only
reason not use exec is lack of portability, but soft links aren't portable
outside of Unix anyway (anywhere softlinks exist, I'd say so does ln -s)

I need to create a soft link, basically doing

Never heard of remote task or remote copy before this. It looks like the 
article includes the source so you may be able to get that to compile. As
far 
as I am aware iot was never submitted to ant-dev.
