flaka - Simplifying Ant build scripts.

Gilbert P.S. : it's mainly an Eclipse/Rad issue but some note in the manual won't hurt.. Gilbert Jul 11, 2011 issue 18 (Examples in manual for defining flaka task) commented on by gilbert....@googlemail.com - Hi, Pete as RAD is based upon Eclipse you have the same possibilities to adjust the ant settings to your liking = Use Window \| Preferences \| Ant \| Runtime and its subsections 1. Ant Home Entries By default it points to the ant version RAD/Eclipse ships with, but you're free to use whatever version you like, f.e. the latest ant 1.8.2 or ant 1.8.3 nightly build 2. Global Entries By default it has only one entry for the tools.jar from your jdk, because it's needed for the ant javac task. Use this to bring your extralibs - f.e. flaka - into the game. It's similar to the -lib parameter when running ant from the commandline Gilbert Hi, Pete as RAD is based upon Eclipse you have the same possibilities to adjust the ant settings to your liking = Use Window \| Preferences \| Ant \| Runtime and its subsections 1.

Pete Jun 30, 2011 issue 17 (Clarify that property lookup does not work as expected if pr...) commented on by whaefeli...@gmail.com - Hi Ruerd, rather a problem of explaining EL syntax properly I' afraid. The base problem is that character dot (.) has no operational meaning in properties and is used to make "readable" identifiers. This is different from EL where character dot means "lookup something". In EL, "xx.yy.zz" translates into lookup('zz', lookup('yy',xx)), i.e. get EL-property 'yy' on EL-object 'xx', then get EL-property 'zz' on the returned object. So all works fine as long as a property name is dot-less. Otherwise disasters strikes. Have a look at your modified example: <project xmlns:fl="antlib:it.haefelinger.flaka"> <property name="my" value="xx"/> <property name="xx.yy.zz" value="123"/> <fl:properties> my.property = #{ property['${my}.yy.zz'] } my.my = #{ my } </fl:properties> <echo> My property = ${my.property} ; expected output 'My property = 123' My my = ${my.my} ; expected output 'My my = xx' </echo> </project> If you run this, you should get $ ant -lib ~/lib/flaka/ant-flaka.jar Buildfile: /Users/geronimo/exp/flaka-issue/build.xml [echo] [echo] My property = 123 ; expected output 'My property = 123' [echo] My my = xx ; expected output 'My my = xx' [echo] BUILD SUCCESSFUL Total time: 0 seconds Agreed, it's a confusing issue cause we got used to use '.' in properties. However, one could have implemented something like 'if there is no object named "xx" then try property "xx.yy.zz" instead. That's all fine but what if there is an EL object named "xx" and properties starting with "xx." ..?? // Wolfgang Hi Ruerd, rather a problem of explaining EL syntax properly I' afraid.
