Platform specific extensions
Hi,
I have .sh and .bat files for a multi-platform product. How can I tell
build.xml to pick up correct extension file on a particular platform ?
Regards,
-Arun

Yes. Look at the <os> nested condition for <condition>. You could set a
property to .sh if its Unix, and .bat for Windows using two <condition>
statements.
Or, you could make two <exec>'s with the right os="..." clause (although for
this you need the exact os.name string that your JVM provides).

It may be an unpopular opinion (it seems to be where I work), but I would
question first why you are calling scripts from ant. Sure, there are places
where calling a script is a good idea, but I've seen build files that call
scripts that are persistent processes. I've even seen people start app
servers with a target. It may just be a pet peeve, but it seems to me that
that is not what Ant is supposed to be used for - one of those 'You can, but
should you?' kinda things.
Sorry for the rant... rough day. I'd appreciate some other opinions.
<snip>
For example I have a product with scripts foo.sh and foo.bat. Now I want
to have an exec task in my build.xml such as:
<exec executable="foo.${property}">
<arg line="some value">
</exec>
Can ${property} be set to ".sh" or ".bat" depending upon whether it's a
solaris platform or win32 platform ?

I assume you mean for things like <copy> and <zip> and such. Look into tags
such as <condition> to set a property for a particular O/S type, and using
if/unless on <patternset> to conditionally include/exclude files based on
existence of properties.
