	loading ant macros from external files by Sascha Ernst :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message Hello, I have a bunch of ANT macros which are currently used by 1 project only. In the future they should be used by more projects. So I'd like to put them in a separate ANT script and load this at runtime into the project ANT scripts. Has anyone an idea how to manage this? In the ANT manual I only found possibilities to load properties from external files but not macros. Best regards ///Sascha Ernst///

I've done this in the past already... Ant has an <import> task, but it's never cut it out for me. That was with ant pre 1.6.5, I don't know whether the situation is any better with more recent versions since I don't use this kind of mechanism anymore. -- Francis Galiegue ONE2TEAM Ingénieur système Mob : +33 (0) 683 877 875 Tel : +33 (0) 178 945 552 fge@... 40 avenue Raymond Poincaré 75116 Paris --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscribe@...

Not sure what Francis' issue with it where :) --DD An alternative is to use an antlib and a typedef task to load the macros, have a look at the following http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTypes/antlib.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscribe@...
