| <h1> API Use Migration Ant Task </h1> |
| <h2>Purpose</h2> |
| <p>This task takes a given API use scan and tries to re-resolve it within a |
| given candidate product release and reports any unresolved references.</p> |
| |
| <h2>Usage</h2> |
| <h3>Description</h3> |
| <p>The name of the Ant task is: <code>apitooling.apimigration</code>. To be used, the jar file <code>apitooling-ant.jar</code> has to be on the Ant |
| classpath.</p> |

| <td valign="top">candidate</td> |
| <td valign="top">This attribute specifies the product you want to use as the migration candidate. |
| <p> |
| It can be a .zip, .jar, .tgz, .tar.gz file, or a directory that corresponds to |
| the Eclipse installation folder. This is the directory is which you can find the |
| Eclipse executable. |

| <tr> |
| <td valign="top">usescan</td> |
| <td valign="top">This attribute specifies the product use scan you want to compare to the migration candidate. |
| <br><br> |
| The usescan is specified using an absolute path to the root of the use scan. |
| </td> |
| <td align="center" valign="top">Yes</td> |
| </tr> |
| <tr> |
| <td valign="top">scopepattern</td> |
| <td valign="top"> |
| This attribute specifies the regular expression pattern used to build the scope of elements to search for |
| references from in the product location. |
| <br><br> |
| The pattern must be a well-formatted regular expression as |
| defined <a href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/regex/Pattern.html">here</a>. |
| </td> |
| <td align="center" valign="top">No</td> |

| references to in the product location. |
| <br><br> |
| The pattern must be a well-formatted regular expression as |

| <td align="center" valign="top">No</td> |
| </tr> |
| <tr> |
| <td valign="top">excludelist</td> |
| <td valign="top"> |
| Set the exclude list location. |
| <br><br>The exclude list location specifies a text file listing bundles to be excluded from the analysis. |
| By default all bundles in the profile are analyzed. The include and exclude list attributes can be used to |
| selectively include and exclude bundles. The include list seeds the set of bundles to be analyzed (when omitted, |
| all bundles are included), and the exclude list is then applied. |
| Each line of the file specifies one of: |
| <ul> |
| <li>a specific bundle name</li> |
| <li>a regular expression to match against bundle names (lines being with "R:")</li> |
| <li>a comment (lines being with '#')</li> |
| </ul> |
| <br>The location is specified using an absolute path. |
| <br>Following is an example exclude list: |
| <pre> |
| # EXCLUDED BUNDLES |
| R:org\.eclipse\..*\.doc\..* |
| ... |
| </pre> |
| <td align="center" valign="top">No</td> |
| </tr> |

| <td align="center" valign="top">No</td> |
| </tr> |
| <tr> |
| <td valign="top">report</td> |
| <td valign="top">Set the output location where the reports will be generated. |
| <br><br> |
| Once the task is completed, reports are available in this directory using a hierarchical structure. A sub-folder is created |
| for each component that has another bundle that references it. Each sub-folder contains a file called "[bundlename].xml". Within |
| this folder is another sub-folder (named "[referencing bundle name].xml") for each bundle that references the bundle of the containing folder. |
| Inside the referencing bundle folder is one of three sub-folders (API, PRIVATE or OTHER) which contain type, method or field references of that kind. |
| <br><br> |
| Two other special files are written into the report directory, which are "not_searched.xml" and "no_apidescription.xml" and they contain |
| information about bundles from the baseline that were not search for usage information and those that did not have an .api_description files in them, respectively. |
| <br><br> |
| The location is specified using an absolute path. |
| <br><br> |
| For example: |
| <pre> |
| root |
| | |
| +-- "not_searched.xml" |
| +-- "no_apidescription.xml" |
| +-- bundle name with usage |
| | |
| +--referencing bundle name |
| | |
| +-- [API or PRIVATE or OTHER] |
| | |
| +--[type_ or method_ or field_]references.xml |
| </pre> |
| </td> |
| <td align="center" valign="top">Yes</td> |
| </tr> |
| <tr> |
| <td valign="top">debug</td> |
| <td valign="top">Set the debug value. |
| <br><br>The possible values are: <code>true</code>, <code>false</code> |
| <br>Default is <code>false</code>.</td> |
| <td align="center" valign="top">No</td> |

| <p>This will run the task creating <code>*.xml</code> files inside the folder <code>/eclipse/apimigration/xml</code>. |
| The task will re-resolve all references in the <code>usescan</code> location - defined by the regular expression <code>.*</code> - against |
| the candidate product whose identifier begins with org.eclipse (defined by the <code>org\.eclipse.*</code> regular expression). |
| It will use the exclude list file located in <code>D:\exclude_list_external.txt</code> to reduce the number of problems to report.</p> |
| <p>If debug is enabled, some debug tracing will show up in the Ant console.</p> |
