<meta name="description" content="A library for APACHE ANT that contributes many useful, resource collections, and other types"></meta>
This library contributes useful tasks and types to [http://ant.apache.org APACHE ANT]. It integrates seamlessly with other libraries like [http://ant-contrib.sourceforge.net/ ant-contrib].

ANTOLOGY was formerly known as "[[Ant-contrib.unkrig.de]]".

== Resource Collections ==

A [http://antology.org/manual/Types/resources.html#collection resource collection] represents a group of resources. A resource is an entity that has a name and a value. An often-used example of a resource collection is the <code><fileSet></code> type, where each resource is a file with its name and its contents.

;[http://antology.unkrig.de/antdoc/index.html?resourceCollections/literalResource.html <code><literalResource></code>]
:A read-only resource with a name and a literal value - configurable either through <code>value="..."</code> or nested text.

;[http://antology.unkrig.de/antdoc/index.html?resourceCollections/resourceCollectionDelta.html <code><resourceCollectionDelta></code>]
:Selects the subset of resources that was added, deleted or modified since the last check.

;[http://antology.unkrig.de/antdoc/index.html?resourceCollections/resourceNames.html <code><resourceNames></code>]
:Replaces the resources' values with their names.

== Chainable Readers ==

[http://ant.apache.org/manual/Types/filterchain.html Filter readers] are an ANT concept that mimics the functionality of UNIX' pipes: A stream of bytes is read through a chain of filter readers, where each filter reader modifies the byte stream and/or performs some additional actions.

;[http://antology.unkrig.de/antdoc/index.html?chainableReaders/progress.html <code><progress></code>]
:Prints dots (".") to STDERR as data is read through it. This implements a kind of 'progress monitoring' for slow tasks that read some data.

;[http://antology.unkrig.de/antdoc/index.html?chainableReaders/tee.html <code><tee></code>]
:Passes data through unmodified, and copies it to a second filter chain.

;[http://antology.unkrig.de/antdoc/index.html?chainableReaders/patch.html <code><patch></code>]
:Modifies the data by applying a patch file.

== Conditions ==

[http://ant.apache.org/manual/Tasks/conditions.html Conditions] are nested elements of the <code><condition></code>, <code><waitfor></code> and several other tasks.

;[http://antology.unkrig.de/antdoc/index.html?conditions/every.html <code><every></code>]
:Evaluates to <code>true</code> when it is evaluated for the <b>first time</b>, and when the last evaluation to <code>true</code> has been more than a configured interval ago.

;[http://antology.unkrig.de/antdoc/index.html?conditions/false.html <code><false></code>]
:Always evaluates to <code>false</code>.

;[http://antology.unkrig.de/antdoc/index.html?conditions/successful.html <code><successful></code>]
:Executes the tasks configured as subelements sequentially and evaluates to whether all subtasks have completed successfully.

;[http://antology.unkrig.de/antdoc/index.html?conditions/true.html <code><true></code>]
:Always evaluates to <code>true</code>.

== Download and installation ==

Download the "jar-with-dependencies.jar" file from

To make the contributions available in your ANT scripts, write

 <taskdef resource="de/unkrig/antology/ant.xml" classpath="path/to/antology-jar-with-dependencies-x.y.z.jar" />

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

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

ANTDOC documentation can be found [https://repository.sonatype.org/service/local/artifact/maven/redirect?r=central-proxy&g=de.unkrig&a=antology&v=LATEST&c=javadoc here].
