Its not a bad idea, but I don't think the ant plugin currently supports such a use case. The plugin could probably be modified to work like that, and probably without a lot of trouble. I'd take a look at Jalopy plugin and see how it resolves resources that it uses.
Also take a look at Checkstyle, it does the same thing: http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-checkstyle-plugin/examples/multi-module-config.html Wayne On 7/28/07, Mick Knutson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I saw a reference to creating a build-tools.jar to use in a multi module > project for Jalopy: > > http://mojo.codehaus.org/jalopy-maven-plugin/multimodule.html > > > I have dozens of projects that have the need to use the same ant > build.xmlscript and I was hoping to just create a dependancy upon it > like > org.delta.build-tools:build.xml: > > Here is what my antrun plugin might look like: > > <plugin> > <artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId> > <executions> > <execution> > <phase>generate-sources</phase> > <configuration> > <tasks> > > <ant antfile=" > org.delta.build-tools:build.xml" inheritRefs="true"> > <target name="compile"/> > </ant> > > </tasks> > </configuration> > <goals> > <goal>run</goal> > </goals> > </execution> > </executions> > > <dependencies> > > <dependency> > <groupId>com.sun</groupId> > <artifactId>tools</artifactId> > <version>1.5.0_08</version> > <scope>system</scope> > <systemPath>${java.home > }/../lib/tools.jar</systemPath> > </dependency> > > <!-- HOPING TO ADD MY BUILD TOOLS HERE... --> > <dependency> > <groupId>org.delta</groupId> > <artifactId>build-tools</artifactId> > <version>1.0.0.0</version> > <type>jar</type> > </dependency> > > </plugin> > > > -- > > Thanks, > Mick Knutson > > http://www.baselogic.com > http://www.blincmagazine.com > http://www.djmick.com > http://www.myspace.com/mickknutson > http://www.myspace.com/djmick_dot_com > http://www.myspace.com/sexybeotches > http://www.thumpradio.com > --- > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
