Great news folks.... I got approval to commit my DynamicConfigurator patch
to Ant 1.5. It will allow you to get rid of the BCEL trick and also allow
much greater flexibility in your Ant tasks. I'll be committing this to the
Ant codebase in the next couple of days, along with a test case to
demonstrate its capabilities. Essentially it lets you have dynamic elements
and attributes letting your task code deal with what object gets created
when an unrecognized sub-element (no createXXX, addXXX, or addConfiguredXXX)
is encountered, and what to do when an unrecognized (no setXXX) attribute is
encountered.
Keep posted on ant-dev for details as I get this committed. We're in a rush
to get some tasks that desperately need it refactored, such as <ejbjar> and
<serverdeploy> since the Ant 1.5 feature cutoff is very soon.
