Hi I'm extremely new to both ruby and buildr, so I'm pretty sure I'm asking a stupid thing right now, but I wasn't able to google it.
My target is to be able to specify jar versions in a single place and I like the build.yaml approach, but some of the libs do not exist in the maven world, so I want buildr to download them. Taking the DOJO example from the docs I was able to create the following config: --- build.yaml --- # This project requires the following ruby gems, buildr addons artifacts: hamcrest: hamcrest:hamcrest:all:1.3.0RC2 --- /build.yaml --- --- buildfile --- hamcrestVer = Buildr.settings.build['artifacts'][:hamcrest.to_s][/[^:]+$/] hamcrestUrl = " http://hamcrest.googlecode.com/files/hamcrest-all-#{hamcrestVer}.jar"; download(artifact(:hamcrest)=>hamcrestUrl) desc "The project" define "proj" do define "webui" do compile.with :hamcrest end end --- /buildfile --- that does work, but the way I was finally able to obtain the hamcrest version seems quite ugly to me. What would be a better way to achieve the same? Thank you! Ilya.
