check property file exists and which properties are missing in Ant
1.8?
Hi all,
I'm giving Ant 1.8.0 a try on a new project. I'd like to ask if there
have been any changes for loading property files (break the build if
they're not found) and if ant can report on the properties missing.
Are there any related ant-contrib tasks?
Regards
Dimitris

Ok, I know I didn't ask it on my first mail, but I want ant to display
all the missing properties, not only the first one. So here's a little
improvement I did:
Macro:
<macrodef name="requireProperty">
<attribute name="property"/>
<attribute name="example" default="" />
<sequential>
<if>
<not><isset property="@{property}" /></not>
<then>
<property name="missing.property" value="true" />
<echo>"@{property} is missing. Example:
@{example}"</echo>
</then>
</if>
</sequential>
</macrodef>
Then create a target e.g. check-properties and have init target depend
on it:
<target name="check-properties" description="Check required project
properties">
<requireFile file="dev_build.properties" />
<!-- Section: Ivy Properties -->
<requireProperty property="ivy.nexus.host"
example="127.0.0.1" />
<requireProperty property="ivy.maven.repo"
example="http://${ivy.nexus.host}:8081/nexus/context/repositories/central"
/>
<fail if="missing.property" message="There are missing
properties. Please see above" />
</target>
Regards

should not.
But using <property file/> the specified property file doesnt have to
exist - since a long time...
