You can also define a group of tasks at once using the file or resource attributes. These attributes point to files in the format of Java property files. Each line defines a single task in the format:
taskname=fully.qualified.java.classname
Attribute | Description | Type | Required? |
name | String | ? | |
uri | String | ? | |
classpath | Path | ? | |
file | File | ? | |
classname | String | ? | |
resource | String | ? | |
adaptto | String | ? | |
onerror | String ["fail", "report", "ignore"] | ? | |
loaderref | Reference | ? | |
classpathref | Reference | ? | |
adapter | String | ? | |
format | String ["properties", "xml"] | ? | |
reverseloader | boolean | ? |
<sometask>
<somepath>
<pathelement location="/path/to/file.jar" />
<pathelement path="/path/to/file2.jar:/path/to/class2;/path/to/class3" />
<pathelement location="/path/to/file3.jar" />
<pathelement location="/path/to/file4.jar" />
</somepath>
</sometask>
The object implemention sometask
must provide a method called
createSomepath
which returns an instance of Path
.
Nested path definitions are handled by the Path object and must be labeled
pathelement
.
The path element takes a parameter path
which will be parsed
and split into single elements. It will usually be used
to define a path from an environment variable.
Attribute | Description | Type | Required |
refid |
Makes this instance in effect a reference to another Path instance.
You must not set another attribute or nest elements inside this element if you make it a reference. |
Reference | ? |
path | Parses a path definition and creates single PathElements. | String | ? |
