displaying project name before target name in output
is there any way to tell ant to display the project name before target name
in the output?
normally, ant displays as follows (while running):
init:
clean:
build:
but is there a way to make it print <project-name>.<target-name> as follows
(where <project-name>="myprj")?
myprj.init:
myprj.clean:
myprj.build:
reason being is that i'm calling targets in other build.xml files and when
the called target executes, there's no way to distinguish which target name
is associated with which build.xml file. it is possible to use the echo
task at the start of each target, but obviously not the optimal way.
thank you.

Yes, you need to specify the logger on every ant invocation, but....

set the environment variable ANT_ARGS to be "-logger NewLogger"

Thats an interesting idea. Actually the format you'd want is
MessageFormat-style: "{0}.{1}...". Patches welcome! :)

My pleasure. Be sure to bundle your logger in a JAR and put it in
ANT_HOME/lib - that will be the best way to ensure its available.

Re: displaying project name before target name in output

thank you for your reply erik.
it looks fairly straight-forward to create a new logger class (i.e.
"NewLogger") that extends DefaultLogger and overrides the
targetStarted(BuildEvent event) method as follows:
public void targetStarted(BuildEvent event) {
if (Project.MSG_INFO <= msgOutputLevel) {
String msg = StringUtils.LINE_SEP
+ event.getProject().getName() + "."
+ event.getTarget().getName() + ":";
printMessage(msg, out, event.getPriority());
log(msg);
}
}
when i want to use this new logging class, then am i correct to assume that
upon each ant execution, i need to specify it as follows?
> ant -logger NewLogger <target>
if so, is there a way to specify the logger to be used in something like an
ant.properties file, such that ant can be executed as normal, without
explicity specifying "-logger NewLogger" each time? if not, no problem.
out of curiosity, have any other people requested the ability to change the
target name lines (i.e. "init: ")? if so, then a suggestion for a future
feature is to adopt a junit-style syntax (i.e. "%P.%T" which would print
<projectName>.<targetName>; and other %... options) and specify these in a
ant-log.properties file or something? just an idea.
thanks again for the great advice to solving my problem!

You could write a custom BuildLogger implementation that would do this,
no problem. Would be fairly easy. Have a look at the DefaultLogger
built into Ant for inspiration.
