Re: How to set a property to the modification time of a file

[Scot P. Floess]

Marek:

I just quickly looked through the Ant docs to see if something jumped 
out - I didn't readily see anything.

However, perhaps you could use beanshell or some other scripting 
technique?  For example,

   <scriptdef
       name        = "compute-file-modification-date"
       language    = "beanshell"
       description = "Store the file modification date in @{property}."
       uri         = "http://keros.sourceforge.net/keros-environment"; >

       <classpath>
           <path  refid = "keros.LIB_PATH_REF"/>
       </classpath>

       <attribute  name = "file"/>
       <attribute  name = "property"/>
       <attribute  name = "format"/>

       <![CDATA[
           java.io.File file = new java.io.File ( attributes.get ( 
"file" ) );

           java.lang.String fileValue;

           if ( file.exists () )
           {
               String format = attributes.get ( "format" );

               java.text.SimpleDateFormat simpleDateFormat;

               if ( format != null )
               {
                   simpleDateFormat = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat ( 
format );
               }
               else
               {
                   simpleDateFormat = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat ();
               }

               fileValue = simpleDateFormat.format ( new java.util.Date 
( file.lastModified () ) );
           }
           else
           {
               fileValue = "";
           }

           project.setProperty ( attributes.get ( "property" ), 
fileValue );
       ]]>
   </scriptdef>

Sorry, your posting got me to thinking...so I am adding this 
functionality to my open source project :)
