All:
I'm trying to extend the the copy task and am running into a brick wall.
What I am trying to do is to extend the task so that it can accept a property
which contains a comma separated list of FileSet references. For example:
<my:copy dir="thisDir" filesetlist="thisRef,thatRef" />. my:copy would do
nothing more than parse filesetlist and call the copy task for each
reference.
I thought I should be able to do something like this:
Copy newCopy = new Copy();
newCopy.setTodir(new File(thisDir));
newCopy.addFileset( (FileSet) getProject().getReference(thisRef));
newCopy.execute();
This isn't working - I get a null pointer exception on line 382 of
AbstractFileSet on the statement:
p.log(getDataTypeName() + ": Setup scanner in dir " + dir
+ " with " + defaultPatterns, Project.MSG_DEBUG);
I believe it is choking on defaultPatterns.
I am undoubtedly missing something obvious, but would appreciate some guidance
(and forbearance!)
question: where does this newCopy get its project to log to?
Because I dont see you passing it down, and I would centainly expect
project.log() to NPE when it is null -which is exactly what appears to
be happening.
newCopy.setProject(getProject())
