Ooops. I forgot ant() didn't yeld a task; it executes right away.
Do you think the stuff above is ok, so that we could push this to the

I think the main improvement would be in wiring dependencies so the task
only executes when needed.
Here's a revised version,
define "generate-sources-example" do
# whatever you use to generate your sources
sources = Dir[_("src/main/yak") + "/**/*.yk"]
generate = file(path_to(:target, "generated-source") => sources) do |dir|
mkdir_p dir.to_s # ensure directory is created
# generate sources
# e.g.
# ant('generate') do |ant|
# ...
# end
end
compile.from generate
end
I'm having issues creating the page in the wiki right now (confluence fails
on me). I'll create it when possible.
