Ant-contrib.unkrig.de: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 10:32, 19 February 2014

Some contributions to APACHE ANT, e.g. the <swingDialog> task which significantly enhances ANT's <input> task.

<jsonProperty>: Parses a JSON document into a set of properties, in analogy with the standard ANT <xmlproperty> task.

<setAuthenticator>: Configures the authentication for all following java.net.URLConnections, including the <urlConnection> task.

<setCookieHandler>: Enables or disables cookie handling for Java's java.net.HttpURLConnection, including the <urlConnection> task.

<swingDialog>: Pops up a highly configurable dialog and invites the user to fill in form fields.

<urlConnection>: Connects to a resource and writes data to it and/or reads data from it.

<resourceCollectionDelta>: Selects the subset of resources that was added, deleted or modified since the last check.

<progress>: Prints dots (".") to STDERR as data is read through it. This implements a kind of 'progress monitoring' for slow tasks that read some data.

To make the contributions available in your ANT scripts, write

<taskdef resource="de/unkrig/antcontrib/ant.xml" classpath="path/to/de.unkrig.ant-contrib.jar" />

, or, if you put the JAR file on ANT's default classpath, just

<taskdef resource="de/unkrig/antcontrib/ant.xml" />

The source code is available in the SUBVERSION repository. The repository URL is
