Loading stylesheets from a jar file ( task)

["Nau, Michael" <Mi...@pyxis.com>]

Does anyone know of a way to load an xsl stylesheet from a jar file
rather than a path off the basedir?

I would like to repackage the javancss stuff to include the stylesheets
in the javancss.jar then load the stylesheet from the jar in ant. This
would ease the issues of having to keep track of both the stylesheets
and the jars separately.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Mike.

sample code
===========
    <path id="javancss.cp">
      <pathelement location="${dev.lib.dir}/javancss-xslt.jar"/>
    </path>         
    
    <taskdef name="javancss" classname="javancss.JavancssAntTask"
classpathref="javancss.cp"/>

    <javancss 
      srcdir          = "${dev.src.dir}"
      packageMetrics  = "true"      
      classMetrics    = "false"     
      functionMetrics = "falase"    
      abortOnFail     = "false"     
      generateReport  = "true"
      outputfile      = "${build.lib.dir}/exception-javancss.xml"  
      format          = "xml"
      includes        = "**/*.java"
    />

    <xslt 
      in="${build.lib.dir}/exception-javancss.xml" 
      out="${build.lib.dir}/exception-javancss.html" 
      style="javancss2html.xsl" 
      classpathref="javancss.cp"
    />

Hello Michael,

You could make your task accept a package path such as...

javanccss/resources/exception-javancss.xml

Then, internally, you could load this as a stream.  I don't know if
that just makes things too non-standard compared to most other Ant
tasks, but it is certainly doable.

Here's what we do:

			<unjar src="jar_with_xsls.jar" dest="build/jar">
				<patternset>
					<include name="**/*.xsl"/>
				</patternset>
			</unjar>

Not exactly high tech but it gets the job done.  Can anyone comment if 
there will be a cleaner solution in a future ant release?
