How to delete .# files with Ant

[David Smiley <ds...@mitre.org>]

I tried searching the list for an answer beforehand but had difficulty
becuase I can't search for ".#".

I made patternset that should select all junk temp files in my project.
Here it is:

 <!-- specify junk -->
 <patternset id="junk" >

  <include name="temp/**"/>
  <!-- generated by Resin -->
  <include name="WEB-INF/work/**"/>
  <include name="WEB-INF/tmp/**"/>
  <!-- generated by CVS -->
  <include name="**/.#*"/>
  <!-- misc -->
  <include name="**/*.log"/>
  <include name="**/*.bak"/>
 </patternset>

Unfortunately, the <include name="**/.#*"/> does not work at all.  I have
all these .# files littered around that are named something like:
".#portlet.jsp.1.19"  for example.  I think CVS is generating them.  What is
wrong here?

Thanks.

Creating a manifest from a build.xml file

[Scott Ellsworth <sc...@alodar.com>]

Hi, all.

If the property "manifest.main-class" is set, I want my jar to have 
that class specified in the Main-Class section of its manifest. 
Otherwise, I want it to just have the usual default manifest built.

Currently, my jar is build via:
   <target name="dist-debug" depends="compile-debug" 
description="Build debug jar">
     <jar
       jarfile="${dist}/${baseJarName}-${DSTAMP}-debug.jar"
       basedir="${build-debug}"
     />
   </target>

I believe the following will work to create the manifest if I always 
know that the property manifest.main.class is set

   <property name="manifest.file" value="manifest.mf"/>
   <property name="manifest.main.class" value="org.foo.dosomething"/>

   <target name="dist-debug-manifest" depends="compile-debug" 
description="Build debug jar with manifest">
     <jar
       jarfile="${dist}/${baseJarName}-${DSTAMP}-debug.jar"
       basedir="${build-debug}">
       <manifest>
         <attribute name="Main-Class" value="${manifest.main-class}"/>
       </manifest>
     </jar>
   </target>

I am not sure how to have the <manifest> section only happen if there 
is actually a manifest.

Does anyone else create a manifest on the fly this way?

Scott

Re: How to delete .# files with Ant

[Erik Hatcher <ja...@ehatchersolutions.com>]

set defaultexcludes="false"

Ant has a builtin list of exclusions that apply to all filesets unless
explicitly turned off, and the pattern you have trouble with is one of
these.

See http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/manual/dirtasks.html for more details.
