Is it possible for an Ant script called by Maven to read properties
defined in maven.xml? For example, I have an ant file that uses a
variable called "test". I need to call the ant task several times as I
am building my project each time with a different value for "test".
I thought this was possible by looking at maven.xml from Fulcrum. I
found the following code being used:
<!-- Now generate the security service. -->
<j:set var="torque.project" value="security"/>
<j:set var="torque.schema.om.includes" value="turbine-schema.xml"/>
<j:set var="torque.targetPackage" value="${security.package}"/>
<filter token="DATABASE_DEFAULT" value="${security.database.name}"/>
<filter token="EXTRA_USER_COLUMNS"
value="${security.extra.user.columns}"/>
<copy
file="turbine-schema.xml"
tofile="${torque.schema.dir}/turbine-schema.xml"
filtering="yes"/>
<attainGoal name="torque:om"/>
<!-- Reset the Torque uptodate check flag. -->
<j:set var="torque.internal.om.uptodate" value="${null}"/>
<!-- Now generate the scheduler service. -->
<j:set var="torque.project" value="scheduler"/>
<j:set var="torque.schema.om.includes"
value="scheduler-schema.xml"/>
<j:set var="torque.targetPackage" value="${scheduler.package}"/>
<filter token="DATABASE_DEFAULT"
value="${scheduler.database.name}"/>
<filter token="EXTRA_USER_COLUMNS"
value="${scheduler.extra.user.columns}"/>
<copy
file="scheduler-schema.xml"
tofile="${torque.schema.dir}/scheduler-schema.xml"
filtering="yes"/>
<attainGoal name="torque:om"/>
As you can see, some of the torque.* variables are being defined before
calling torque:om. These values a never seen by ant ant script that is
called by the torque plugin though.
Here is a simple set of goals that can be added to a valid maven.xml
file to demonstrate the problem:
<goal name="test:ant">
<attainGoal name="test:ant1"/>
<attainGoal name="test:ant2"/>
</goal>
<goal name="test:ant1" description="test of passing variables to ant">
<j:set var="test" value="It worked!"/>
<ant antfile="ant-test.xml" target="test"/>
</goal>
<goal name="test:ant2" description="test of passing variables to ant">
<ant antfile="ant-test.xml" target="test">
<setProperty name="test" value="It worked!"/>
</ant>
</goal>
Here is the ant-test.xml file:
<project name="ant-test" default="test" basedir=".">
<target name="test">
<echo message="Test variable = ${test}"/>
</target>
</project>
Here is the result of maven test:ant:
test:ant:
test:ant1:
[echo] Test variable = ${test}
test:ant2:
[echo] Test variable = ${test}
I hope that I am missing something... Is there some other way to make
this work?
