[PATCH] Suggestion for new commandline switch -targets (II)
Here is a version that depends on the presence of description attributes on
targets. On ant's build.xml with some descriptions added the output is:
==================
Buildfile: build.xml
Targets:
-dist Creates the distribution
-javadocs Creates the API documentation
-bootstrap Installs the ant.jar library and binary files into ant.home
-main Creates the binary structure
BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 1 seconds
===================
The targets look like:
<target name="main" depends="jar" description="Creates the binary
structure">
Regards,
Marcel Schutte

Yes, it's a great idea. I've been working on one, but would be happy
to know if there are better ones out there. The protocol is kind of
weird. I've used jCVS before, but have had a few problems with it.
Obviously, for ant, we'd just want a non-UI based CVS client.

FYI: yes, http://javacvs.netbeans.org/ hosts an in-progress
Java-implemented CVS client which may be license-compatible with Ant (I
don't know for sure). It is in active development and is improving, so
anyone interested in it should check up on it periodically (or better,
offer to contribute); I am sure its authors would welcome the extra
stress-testing from use in a different environment.

Unfortunately they are GPL which is an incompatble license with Apache
licensing schem - the onluy possibility is the one over at netbeans but no
one has stepped up to base afaik

Gene,
The issue to date has been the licensing arrangements of those java CVS
clients. Many use the GPL which is incompatible with ant's Apache licence.

Now ant uses exec function to call cvs. Sometimes it does not work properly.
Is it a good idea to insert ant's own cvs java client instead of calling
Runtime.exec(cvs)?
Many cvs java clients are already implemented.
Gene.

Marcel,
I have committed this patch with a few minor changes.
I changed the command line option from -targets to -projecthelp. I hope to
add a <help> tag to the project as a nested element and include that in this
output.
I also removed the test for the null description. This means that currently
all targets are displayed. It seemed more useful that way. That leaves the
problem of hiding "internal" targets.
