embedded ant

[Davide Mora <d_...@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

i'm writing a code generator, and i want to use ANT as
an "embedded builder", and i had to change the
following rows in Main.java:

from:
private void runBuild() throws BuildException

to:
protected void runBuild() throws BuildException

and i inherited my class from Main:

class MyAnt extends org.apache.tools.ant.Main
{
  public MyAnt( String args[] )
  {
    super(args);
    runBuild();
  }
}

My question is: is possible get this behaviour in the
next releases? Or maybe something better?

Thank you,
Davide

Are you sure that extending Main instead of working with Project and
ProjectHelper directly really is what you want?

changing the access modifier of runBuild? Sure.

Tell us more. What are you thinking of?
