Re: [m2] problem w/ antcall in ANT-based mojo
Did anyone reslove this issue ?
This is a major flaw with the ant-based mojo.
Wayne is correct in that if you place a build.xml containing the antcall
targets it works, BUT this build.xml has to be in the current directory.
Therefore I cannot create a reusable ant-based plugin, because everywhere I
need to use it I have to have a build.xml in the current directory !
(containing these internal helper targets)

That's great!. I applied the macrodef usage in my situation and it worked
very well. Finally we get rid of the <antcall> code that mojo plugin doesn't
work very well with.
Thanks Pete.

Here's a macrodef
<macrodef name="macro.dbunit-update">
<attribute name="databaseDriver" />
<attribute name="databaseUrl" />
<attribute name="databaseUsername" />
<attribute name="databasePassword" />
<attribute name="datatypeFactory" />
<attribute name="operation" />
<attribute name="srcDir" />
<attribute name="filename" />
<attribute name="file-extension" />
<attribute name="format" />
<!-- <element name="options" optional="true" /> -->
<sequential>
<echo message="------ MACRO macro.dbunit-update -----------" />
<dbunit driver="${databaseDriver}" url="${databaseUrl}"
userid="${databaseUsername}" password="${databasePassword}"
datatypeFactory="${datatypeFactory}">
<classpath refid="dbunit.classpath"/>
<operation type="${operation}"
src="${srcDir}/${filename}.@{file-extension}" format="@{format}"/>
</dbunit>
</sequential>
</macrodef>
Here's invoking it
<target name="dbunit-update-XML" depends="int.echo-properties"
description="Refreshes DB using data from XML file">
<macro.dbunit-update databasedriver="${databaseDriver}"
databasepassword="${databasepassword}"
databaseurl="${databaseurl}"
databaseusername="${databaseusername}"
datatypefactory="${datatypefactory}"
file-extension="xml"
filename="${filename}"
format="flat"
operation="${operation}"
srcdir="${srddir}">
</macro.dbunit-update>
</target>

Thanks Pete, that sounds very promising. Could you also post a piece of
sample code? Thanks a lot.

I got around this issue in the end by using Ant 1.6's new macrodef
feature, this allows you to easily create a macro instead of a
callable ant target.
See
http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/macrodef.html
so I put the Macrodef's in the same build file and called them where necessary.

Re: [m2] problem w/ antcall in ANT-based mojo
Posted by cristal <da...@jpmorgan.com>.
The only work-around to this issue is to add a line of ant script in the
target before you invoke the <antcall>task, like this
<copy file="/my/plugin/path/mymojo.build.xml"
tofile="/my/plugin/path/build.xml" />
so that there is always a build.xml available in the directory by the time
<antcall> is executed. But you will always need to remember the
"mymojo.build.xml" is the real one for you to work with when you modify the
mojo plugin.
It's ugly but works for me.

Pete, this is still a problem as of today. I am having exactly the same
situation as you did. Haven't found any solution yet.
Folks, please share some tips on this if you know any.
