include/exclude question

[Nolan Ring <nr...@nortelnetworks.com>]

I'm sure this has been covered elsewhere -- but I couldn't find it .

I want to compile the vast majority of the .java files under ${srcdir} --
there are a total of 500+ files in a directory hierarchy that
is 3 or 4 directories deep and includes roughly 20 subdirectories.

In at least one case, however, I want to compile only a single file in one
of the subdirectories, despite the fact that the subdirectory
itself includes many files and directories.

The only way I've figured to do this so far is to to define a separate javac
task that includes the individual file I want build; and then to
define another javac task that excludes the entire directory.  I'm sure
there's a better way to do this!

Can someone help me out??

Thanks much.

Nolan

Here's how I handled a similar issue.  I wanted to be able to compile
selected subsets of the entire tree (I know, it's a transitional
thing, getting people weaned off "make" and onto "ant").  I use a
generic compile target, antcall, and a series of patternsets to do
the work. An example is below:

  <!-- ==================================================================== -->
  <!-- Pattern sets for files to compile, copy, and jar                     -->
  <!-- ==================================================================== -->

  <patternset id="le.paths.all"      includes="gnu/**,weblogic/**,com/cyberplus/**"/>
  <patternset id="le.paths.util"     includes="com/cyberplus/util/**,gnu/**"/>
  <patternset id="le.paths.server"   includes="com/cyberplus/le/server/**,weblogic/**"/>


  <!-- ==================================================================== -->
  <!-- Generic compilation target - uses javac.patternset to control        -->
  <!-- what gets compiled                                                   -->
  <!-- ==================================================================== -->
  <target name="generic-compile">
    <javac srcdir="${src.dir}"
           destdir="${build.lib}"
           debug="${debug}"
           deprecation="${deprecation}"
           optimize="${optimize}"
           failonerror="yes"
           depend="yes"
           includeAntRuntime="no" >
      <bootclasspath refid="rt.path" />
      <classpath refid="base.path" />
      <patternset refid="${javac.patternset}" />
    </javac>
    
  </target>
  
  <!-- ==================================================================== -->
  <!-- Compile everything at once                                           -->
  <!-- ==================================================================== -->

          depends="prepare-build"

    <antcall target="generic-compile">
      <param name="javac.patternset" value="le.paths.all"/>
    </antcall>
    
  </target>

  <!-- ==================================================================== -->
