Hi,
I was wondering if anyone else thought being able to specify wildcards
in the depends attribute of the target would be helpful.
Where I work, we use a lot of build fragments that get imported, and we
would like the ability to allow the developer to add/remove build
funtionality easilt without disrupting the basic workflow.
essentially something like:
build.xml imports base-java.xml and java-checkstyle.xml
base-java.xml:
<target name="pre-compile" depends="java-pre-plugin*,compile" />
java-checkstyle.xml
<target name="java-pre-plugin-checkstyle"> ... run checkstyle ... </target>
This way a developer can add/remove something like checkstyle simply by
adding/removing the import.
This would also allow the developer to use a different syntax checker
simply by the import.
I think the most reasonable way to do this would be to modify the
addDependency method in Target.java. Something like this:
public void addDependency(final String dependency) {
if (dependencies == null) {
dependencies = new ArrayList(2);
}
if (dependency.endsWith("*")) {
String key;
final String prefix = dependency.substring(0,
(dependency.indexOf("*") - 1));
final Enumeration<String> e = getProject().getTargets().keys();
while (e.hasMoreElements()) {
key = e.nextElement();
if (key.startsWith(prefix)) {
dependencies.add(dependency);
}
}
} else {
dependencies.add(dependency);
}
}
any thoughts?
