The important part of the coding is
} else if (arg.equals("-buildfile") || arg.equals("-file")
|| arg.equals("-f")) {
try {
--> buildFile = new File(args[i + 1].replace('/',
File.separatorChar));
i++;
where you can see, all slashes are converted to platform specific separator
character.
Therefore an URL would be modified, therefore you can�t use an URL for
buildfile.
Another possibility would be via another Ant option (-builduri or so), but
there is nothing like that in the oata.Main class.
I haven�t heard (or can�t remind) anything about providing that. But you can
try to implement that for your own. Simplest would be with a kind of local
cache
- check whether the file is local
- if not download the file to local
- start ant with the local file
For checking a download I wrote a <scriptdef> called "require". You can
see it in the posting about "auto download of antlibs" [1].
