Ant utilities for stand-alone Ant environment and maven-antrun-plugin environment.

Ant Tasks

This project provides the following Ant tasks.

• mvnpath tag : extension of Ant's path tag
  
  • Use case:
    When you like to get path to .jar file of the dependency (what is not defined in the dependency section of Maven pom.xml) in Maven local repository.
    
  • Brief example:
    

    <mvnpath>
    
    
        <mvnpathelement dependency="a_group_id:an_artifact_id:1.2.3" />
    
    
    </mvnpath>
    
    
    

  For more info, refer to https://ant-util.googlecode.com/svn/site/apidocs/com/newmainsoftech/ant/types/maven/MavenPath.html'>MavenPath class JavaDoc.
  



• mvnproperty tag : extension of Ant's property tag
  
  • Use case:
    When you like to have Maven property defined at same time of defining Ant property. So, you can refer such property's value in other execution of Maven plugin in your project pom.xml.
    
  • Brief example:
    
    • To define property
      

      <mvnproperty
      
      
          name="propName1"
      
      
          value="propValue1" />
      
      
      

    • To define property for dependency path
      

      <mvnproperty
      
      
          dependency="com.google.gwt:gwt-dev:2.4.0" />
      
      
      

      After that, you can obtain the actual path by inquiring ${com.google.gwt:gwt-dev:jar} as if the com.google.gwt:gwt-dev:2.4.0 dependency had been defined in the dependency section of your project's pom.xml.

• mvnservercreden tag: extension of Ant's property tag
  
  • Use case:
    When you like to read server credential information from servers element of Maven global or user settings file and store user name and decrypted password to properties.
    
  • Brief example:
    

    <mvnservercreden serverid="test_ds1" />
    
    
    

    That mvnservercreden tag example performs reading user name and password for test_ds1 server element from default Maven settings file (default to ${user.home}/.m2/settings.xml and ${M2_HOME}/conf/settins.xml) and store user name and decrypted password to test_ds1.username and test_ds1.password Maven properties (as well as Ant properties).

• javaext tag : extension of Ant's java tag
  
  • Use case:
    When you're reluctant to write multiple arg tags, jvmarg tags and/or sysproperty tags.
    
  • Brief example:
    

    <javaext classname="some.name.of.ClassToExecute">
    
    
        <jvmargext>
    
    
            -Xmx768m -Xss4M
    
    
            -javaagent:${agent_path}=nbjdk=JDK6u24;profile=java;
    
    
            -Xbootclasspath:${some_path}
    
    
        </jvmargext>
    
    
        <argext>
    
    
            -Dmulti-line-arg1=argext1 -Dmulti-line-arg2=argext2
    
    
            -Dmulti-line-arg3=${arg3_value}
    
    
        </argext>
    
    
        ...
    
    
    </javaext>

• junitext tag : extension of Ant's junit tag
  
  • Use case:
    When you're reluctant to write multiple jvmarg tags and/or sysproperty tags.
    
  • Brief example:
    

    <junitext fork="yes" printsummary="yes" showoutput="true" haltonfailure="yes">
    
    
        <jvmargext>
    
    
            -Xmx256m -Xdebug
    
    
            -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=y,address=${debug_port}
    
    
        </jvmargext>
    
    
        <syspropext>
    
    
            gwt.args=-standardsMode -war ${war_dir} -logLevel WARN
    
    
            java.awt.headless=true
    
    
            gwt.devjar=${com.google.gwt:gwt-dev:jar}
    
    
            java.util.logging.config.file=test/com/gwetons/client/devMode.logging.properties
    
    
        </syspropext>
    
    
        ...
    
    
    </junitext>
