| Using build configurations with Ant |
| </h1> |
| <p> |
| The format used in .ajproperties files is that of standard properties files. |
| If want to build your Eclipse projects using Ant, you can either convert your |
| .ajproperties files to the old .lst format, or you can process the .ajproperties |
| files directly. Below is a snippet from an example build.xml file which reads the |
| src.includes and src.excludes properties from a .ajproperties file and passes them to the |
| iajc Ant task.</p> |
| |
| <p><code><br> |
| |
| <property file="tracelib.ajproperties"/><br><br> |
| |
| |
| <target name="compile" ><br> |
| <iajc srcdir="."<br> |
| includes="${src.includes}" excludes="${src.excludes}" <br> |
| fork="true"/><br><br> |
| <forkclasspath><br> |
| <pathelement .../><br> |
| ...<br><br> |
| </target><br><br> |
| </code> |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| Note that there is a limitation here in that Ant processes the includes |
| and excludes in a slightly different way to Eclipse. For example if you |
| include lib/AbstractTracing.java but exclude lib/ then as a build |
| configuration in Eclipse, the source file will be an included entry in an |
| otherwise excluded package. Ant processes the includes first, then removes |
| the matching excludes, so everything under lib/ will be excluded |
| (thus overriding the include entry). |
