Gwt compile task compatible with gwt 2.3 "validation-api as sources dependency"

[Geraldo Lopes de Souza <ge...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I needed to pass 'javax.validation:validation-api:jar:1.0.0.GA' sources to
my gwtc task.
It asks you to "buildr artifacts:sources" if source isn't found.
It passes the jar source to gwt compiler.
Someone can have the same problem and save some minutes :)
If you have a better way please enlighten me.

  task :gwtc do
    puts "GWT Compile"
    artifacts = [GWT, GWT_DEV, VALIDATION].collect {|d| artifact(d)}

    validation_sources =
artifact(VALIDATION).to_s.gsub('.jar','-sources.jar')
    if ! File.exists?(validation_sources)
      puts "Validation sources not found. invoke buildr artifacts:sources"
      exit
    end
    artifacts << validation_sources
    classpath_ary = []
    artifacts.each do |a|
      a.install if a.respond_to?(:install)
      classpath_ary << a.to_s
    end
    classpath_ary << compile.source.to_s
    classpath_ary << compile.target.to_s
    cmd = "java -Xmx512m -cp #{classpath_ary.join(':')}
com.google.gwt.dev.Compiler app.Clinica"
    puts cmd
    system cmd
  end

Anyway, never had the chance to thank you for this project.
I use ruby at work for sysadmin.
Use it for building my stuff and keeping me away from xml hell is double
pleasure !!

Kudos to the team.
