Iterating through the build script

Hi Folks,

i'm currently writing a build script which will to the following tasks:


1. unpack file a
2. unpack file b (both files have the same directory and filestructure)

3. Replace several strings within different files

4. zip file a
5. zip file b

since file a and b have different filenames is there any way to make ant to

a) unpack file a
b) replace the strings
c) zip file a

d) unpack file b
e) replace the strings
f) zip file b

by invoking the "replace string"-target twice without changing my basic
code structure (1-5) ?

Regards

Use <macrodef> to write a macro which does that job.

<antcall> works but has performance impacts because each call clones the Project-instance.
With introduction of <macrodef> in Ant 1.6 that would be faster.

Hi,

I use the <antcall> task for this, most often with parameters, example:

<target name="often-used-task">
     <!-- check for parameters -->
     <fail unless="prop" message="${prop} needed"/>
     <!-- do it -->
     ...
     ...
     ...
     <echo message="done for ${prop}"/>
</target>

<antcall target="often-used-task">
     <param name="prop" value="foo"/>
</antcall>

<antcall target="often-used-task">
     <param name="prop" value="bar"/>
</antcall>

Regards,
AP
