Hi all,
After reading the ant documentation, I'm still confused as to how best to
construct path like structures (i.e classpath). There seems to be so many
ways to do the same thing (i.e. path, references, filesets etc..). I have
some "test" targets that need the "project" classes to compile and
Hi all,
Under a root of the directory tree, I have many directories called test
which I'd like to delete using the delete task (i.e /x/v/d/test/c,
x/f/test). I've played around with includes but cant see to delete the
directories but only their content.
Thanks
Mick
Hi,
Is it possible to access environment variables within ANT? e.g. If I create
an environment variable MICK, is there any way of access in within ant, ie
${env.MICK}

You need to specify it as a Java property i.e., -DpropertyName=value

There have been discussions about having a separate place for contributed

Yes you can. There is a built in property called ant.project.name that
contains the info you need. Refer to it as ${ant.project.name}.

can use ant to build/assemble your EJB jar files by using a combination of the

Jeff,
You can not "delete" CVS directories, unless you do it forcefully(but very
ugly and may lead to repository inconsistencies later). Here is why: CVS must
maintain it's full history and if you delete directories, it will not be able to
retrieve files from that storage. The solution: When

Hello,
I don't think it would be too difficult to write a task that compared a

Usually one does builds on top of a Version control system

these requirements from the undelying Revision control system.

Hello,
The default compiler properties file doesn't have to be "lying around,"

But the compiler options are file-specific, since a .class file
may have been compiled with a different set than its neighbors.
Thus one should compare the compiler configuration for each .class
