hello
I would like to join the ant developers. I have about 5 years of Java
programming experience, and would like to help out. What I am currently
working on is an ant java preprocessor. This task would work similarly
to how a C preprocessor works you would use #ifdef, #ifndef, #elif and
#else. Has anyone tried to write such a task?
As someone who is starting out, I have a few questions.
1. is there anything specific that I could start on?
2. Is there a coding style format that must be followed?
3. Is there an IRC server/room that the developers talk on?
Thank you in advance for your help. I hope I can return the favor in
the future.
Mark Webb

Have a look at the thread entitled "Javac task design problems" the
recent posts deal specifically with preprocessing java code before
compiling it.

I have looked at the code that you suggested for me. Thank you.
I now need to figure out how to take a .java file, run it through my
preprocessor, and write the file out somewhere so that it may be
compiled by ant and the associated .class file placed in the proper
location. What other classes/functions should I be looking at?
TIA for the help.

Mark:
What a great idea
Some of this functionality is covered by
org.apache.tools.ant.types
Class PatternSet.NameEntry
createInclude
public PatternSet.NameEntry createInclude()add a name entry on the include
list
Overrides:
createInclude in class MatchingTask
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----
createIncludesFile
public PatternSet.NameEntry createIncludesFile()add a name entry on the
include files list
Overrides:
createIncludesFile in class MatchingTask
and PatternSet.NameEntry has
PatternSet.NameEntry()
Method Summary
java.lang.String evalName(Project p)
java.lang.String getName()
void setIf(java.lang.String cond)
void setName(java.lang.String name)
void setUnless(java.lang.String cond)
java.lang.String toString()
so you see the list of included files is included based on the conditional
of setIf() and setUnless() and evalName()
I have a sense that Im missing another feature of #if #elif #endif you are
speaking of???
This is something we should think about
Thanks,
Martin

Check out http://vpp.sourceforge.net/, a Velocity preprocessor. The
syntax will be a little different than CCP but it should do what you
want. With the <vppjavac> task, you can preprocess and compile in a
single step.
