RE: Creating a property from construct in another ant file ?

[David McTavish <dm...@SANDVINE.com>]

The only way that I've seen re-usable "paths" using ref-id is to import the
xml file into the desired build script.
ie:
have a generic build.xml that contains the re-usable classpath elements, and
in your satellite build script, import as follows:

<!DOCTYPE project [
<!ENTITY common SYSTEM "../../scripts/common-classpath.xml">
]>
<project name="lms" default="help" basedir=".">
&common;
<path id="compile.classpath">
    <path refid="resuable.classpath" />
</path>
</project>

Subject: Creating a property from <path> construct in another ant file?


Hi List!
 
 
I know how to reference a path construct in the same file, using something
like:
 
                      <path id="app.classpath">
                         <fileset dir="${BASE_DIR}/ThirdPartyJars/">
                              <include name="**/*.jar"/>
                         </fileset>
                      </path>
 
                      <property name="APP_CLASSPATH" refid="app.classpath"/>

 
 
My question to you: Is it possible to point the refid in the <property> tag
to a <path> construct in another ant file? If so, please tell me how! 
 
 
 
Thanks in advance!
