Multiple renaming using ant script - ant

Let me explain the scenario:
D:\project\src\one.txt
D:\project\src\two.txt
D:\project\src\three.txt
D:\project\src\four.txt
The above files should be copied as :
D:\project\dst\one.xls
D:\project\dst\two.xls
D:\project\dst\three.xls
D:\project\dst\four.xls
I need to change the extension without using the mapper and move task. I need to rename as above using a for loop with fte:filecopy function inside. Is this possible ???

For anyone arriving here without the negative requirement afflicting the OP, the much simpler answer is to use a mapper.
<project default="move_files">
<target name="move_files">
<copy todir="dst">
<fileset dir="src">
<include name="*.txt"/>
</fileset>
<globmapper from="*.txt" to="*.xls"/>
</copy>
</target>
</project>

This works for me :
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="so-copy-rename" default="build2">
<property name="ant-contrib-jar" value="${user.home}/.ant/lib/ant-contrib-1.0b3.jar"/>
<target name="setup" unless="ant-contrib.present">
<echo>Getting ant-contrib</echo>
<mkdir dir="${user.home}/.ant/lib"/>
<!--
Note: change this to a locally hosted maven repository manager such as nexus http://nexus.sonatype.org/
-->
<get dest="${ant-contrib-jar}"
src="http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/ant-contrib/ant-contrib/1.0b3/ant-contrib-1.0b3.jar"/>
</target>
<target name="taskdefs">
<taskdef resource="net/sf/antcontrib/antlib.xml">
<classpath>
<pathelement location="${ant-contrib-jar}"/>
</classpath>
</taskdef>
</target>
<target name="build" depends="taskdefs">
<property name="srcdir" value="src"/>
<property name="targetdir" value="target"/>
<property name="files" value="file1,file2,file3,file4"/>
<mkdir dir="${targetdir}"/>
<foreach list="${files}" target="copy-rename" param="srcfile" trim="true">
<param name="srcdir" value="${srcdir}" />
<param name="targetdir" value="${targetdir}" />
</foreach>
</target>
<target name="copy-rename">
<var name="src-suffix" value="txt"/>
<var name="tgt-suffix" value="xls"/>
<copy file="${srcdir}/${srcfile}.${src-suffix}" tofile="${targetdir}/${srcfile}.${tgt-suffix}" />
</target>
<target name="build2" depends="taskdefs">
<property name="srcdir" value="src"/>
<property name="targetdir" value="target"/>
<mkdir dir="${targetdir}"/>
<foreach target="copy-rename2" param="srcfile">
<path id="srcfilepath">
<fileset dir="${srcdir}" casesensitive="yes">
<include name="*.txt"/>
</fileset>
</path>
<param name="targetdir" value="${targetdir}" />
</foreach>
</target>
<target name="copy-rename2">
<var name="basefile" value="" unset="true"/>
<basename property="basefile" file="${srcfile}" suffix=".txt"/>
<var name="tgt-suffix" value="xls"/>
<copy file="${srcfile}" tofile="${targetdir}/${basefile}.${tgt-suffix}" />
</target>
</project>

Can you slice it the other way and perform the renaming inside the fte:filecopy command? Looking at the IBM documentation, you can specify tasks to be carried out at the source or destination agents either before or after the copy, using presrc, postdst etc. This task could be an Ant task that does the renaming?

how to test symlinks with ant 1.9

I need to perform a command if the jar file is a file instead of a symlink. I have found a solution that works only with ant 1.10.
Does anyone know how to do it with ant 1.9 ?
Here is my build.xml.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="AsterixDecoder" default="bm" basedir=".">
<!-- set global properties for this build -->
<property name="src" location="src"/>
<property name="build" location="build"/>
<property name="dist" location="dist"/>
<property environment="env"/>
<condition property="exists.CCM_ADDR">
<isset property="env.CCM_ADDR"/>
</condition>
<target name="compile" description="compile the source " >
<mkdir dir="${build}"/>
<javac srcdir="${src}" destdir="${build}" includeantruntime="false"/>
<mkdir dir="${build}/resources"/>
<copy todir="${build}/resources">
<fileset dir="resources"/>
</copy>
</target>
<target name="checkout" if="exists.CCM_ADDR">
<ccmcheckout file="${dist}/AsterixDecoder.jar"/>
</target>
<target name="dist" depends="compile, checkout"
description="generate the distribution" >
<jar jarfile="${dist}/AsterixDecoder.jar" filesetmanifest="mergewithoutmain">
<manifest>
<attribute name="Main-Class" value="fr.eurocontrol.escape.ground.asterixdecoder.AsterixDataTree"/>
<attribute name="Class-Path" value="."/>
</manifest>
<fileset dir="${build}"/>
</jar>
</target>
<target name="check.symlink">
<fileset dir="${dist}" id="fileset" includes="AsterixDecoder.jar">
<symlink/>
</fileset>
<pathconvert refid="fileset" property="is.symlink" setonempty="false"/>
</target>
<target name="reconcile" depends="check.symlink" if="exists.CCM_ADDR" unless="is.symlink">
<exec executable="ccm">
<arg value="reconcile"/>
<arg value="-udb"/>
<arg value="${dist}/AsterixDecoder.jar"/>
</exec>
</target>
<target name="bm" description="build management" depends="dist, reconcile">
</target>
</project>
Do not hesitate to make any suggestion of improvements. I am still a beginner in writing ant files.
The most straightforward way to do this would be to use the record function of Ant's symlink task. This creates a property file that lists all of the symlinks found within a given resource collection. Here's an example target:
<target name="default">
<symlink link="testdir" resource="build" />
<symlink action="record" linkfilename="links.record">
<fileset dir="." includes="*" />
</symlink>
<property file="links.record" />
<condition property="testdir.is.symlink">
<isset property="testdir" />
</condition>
<echo message="${testdir.is.symlink}" />
</target>

ant multiple source directories with copied resources

Consider minimal build.xml fragment which builds jar from sources and includes all non-java resources:
<property name="src.dir" value="src" />
<target name="build">
<javac destdir="bin">
<src path="${src.dir}" />
</javac>
<copy includeemptydirs="false" todir="bin">
<fileset dir="${src.dir}">
<exclude name="**/*.java" />
</fileset>
</copy>
<jar destfile="dist/foo.jar" basedir="bin"/>
</target>
Now imagine that I need to support a list of source directories:
<property name="src.dirs" value="src;src-gen" />
How can i modify above script to make it happen ?
javac will happily take list of directories but for copy I need to transform string into list of filesets with exclusions or find some other way.
Normally, you simply list them all together:
<javac destdir="bin">
<src path="${src.dir}"/>
<src path="${src2.dir}"/>
<src path="${src3.dir}"/>
</javac>
You can try the <sourcepath/> attribute. I've never used it, but I believe you can use it to define a path of various source files, and use that:
<path id="source.path">
<pathelement path="${src.dir}"/>
<pathelement path="${src2.dir}"/>
<pathelement path="${src4.dir}"/>
</path>
<javac destdir="bin">
srcpathref="source.path"/>
The first will work, but not 100% sure about the second.
I'm not sure of a way to do it with built-in Ant tasks but you could use an ant-contrib <for> task
<path id="src.path">
<pathelement location="src" />
<pathelement location="src-gen" />
</path>
<target name="build">
<javac destdir="bin">
<src refid="src.path" />
</javac>
<for param="dir">
<path refid="src.path" />
<sequential>
<copy includeemptydirs="false" todir="bin">
<fileset dir="#{dir}">
<exclude name="**/*.java" />
</fileset>
</copy>
</sequential>
</for>
<jar destfile="dist/foo.jar" basedir="bin"/>
</target>
The simple solution is to just specify multiple filesets, in the same manner as the javac task supports multiple "src" attributes:
<target name="build" depends="init" description="Create the package">
<javac destdir="${classes.dir}" includeantruntime="false">
<src path="src/main1/java"/>
<src path="src/main2/java"/>
</javac>
<copy todir="${classes.dir}" includeemptydirs="false">
<fileset dir="src/main1" excludes="**/*.java"/>
<fileset dir="src/main2" excludes="**/*.java"/>
<flattenmapper/>
</copy>
</target>
This of course assumes that the number of source code locations is fixed, which is not unreasonable to expect.
If you want to drive this using a list property you must resort to embedding a script within your build to process this list (I can't endorse ant-contrib):
<project name="demo" default="build">
<property name="src.dirs" value="src/main1,src/main2"/>
<property name="build.dir" location="build"/>
<property name="classes.dir" location="${build.dir}/classes"/>
<target name="bootstrap">
<mkdir dir="${user.home}/.ant/lib"/>
<get dest="${user.home}/.ant/lib/groovy-all.jar" src="http://search.maven.org/remotecontent?filepath=org/codehaus/groovy/groovy-all/2.1.6/groovy-all-2.1.6.jar"/>
</target>
<target name="init">
<mkdir dir="${classes.dir}"/>
</target>
<target name="build" depends="init" description="Create the package">
<taskdef name="groovy" classname="org.codehaus.groovy.ant.Groovy"/>
<groovy>
def srcDirs = properties["src.dirs"].split(",")
ant.javac(destdir:properties["classes.dir"], includeantruntime:false) {
srcDirs.each {
src(path:"${it}/java")
}
}
ant.copy(todir:properties["classes.dir"], includeemptydirs:false) {
srcDirs.each {
fileset(dir:it, excludes:"**/*.java")
}
flattenmapper()
}
</groovy>
</target>
<target name="clean" description="Cleanup build dirs">
<delete dir="${build.dir}"/>
</target>
</project>
Notes:
Compare the "build" targets. You'll notice that the groovy solution calls ANT in the same manner. This is why I really like groovy's integration with ANT.
Example also includes a "bootstrap" target to download the groovy jar dependency from Maven Central. You could alternatively use ivy to manage your build's dependencies.
A simple solution without ant-contrib tasks or embedded scripts:
<property name="src.dirs" value="src,src-gen" />
<path id="src.path">
<multirootfileset type="dir" basedirs="${src.dirs}"/>
</path>
<target name="build">
<javac destdir="bin">
<src refid="src.path"/>
</javac>
<copy todir="bin">
<multirootfileset type="file" basedirs="${src.dirs}">
<exclude name="**/*.java"/>
</multirootfileset>
</copy>
<jar destfile="dist/foo.jar" basedir="bin"/>
</target>
multirootfileset to the rescue! ;-) Needs Ant 1.9.4 or higher.

MANIFEST.MF is override after running build.xml using ant

have following directory structure
src/com
src/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
src/META-INF/spring
src/META-INF/spring/context.xml
now when i run the script, my menifest file is override, i don't want that, because i have to add custom enteries in it and i want that to be adding in generated .jar file. THing is all other files are copied, but this one is override.
my build.xml is as follows
<project name="TaskNodeBundle" default="all" basedir=".">
<!-- Sets variables which can later be used. -->
<!-- The value of a property is accessed via ${} -->
<property name="bundlename" value="tasknodebundle" />
<property name="src.dir" location="../src" />
<property name="lib.dir" location="../lib" />
<property name="build.dir" location="/buildoutput" />
<property name="build.dest" location="../build/dest" />
<!--
Create a classpath container which can be later used in the ant task
-->
<path id="classpath">
<fileset dir="${lib.dir}/">
<include name="*.jar" />
</fileset>
</path>
<target name="clean">
<delete dir="${build.dir}" />
<delete dir="${build.dest}" />
</target>
<!-- Deletes the existing build directory-->
<target name="mkdir" depends="clean">
<mkdir dir="${build.dest}"/>
</target>
<!-- Compiles the java code -->
<target name="compile" depends="mkdir">
<javac srcdir="${src.dir}" destdir="${build.dest}" classpathref="classpath" />
</target>
<target name="package-bundle" depends="compile" description="Generates the bundle">
<jar destfile="${build.dest}/${bundlename}.jar">
<fileset dir="${src.dir}">
<include name="**/**.class" />
<include name="**/**.properties"/>
<include name="/META-INF/**.*" />
<include name="/META-INF/spring/**.*" />
</fileset>
</jar>
</target>
<target name="all" depends="package-bundle">
</target>
</project>
See http://ant.apache.org/manual/Tasks/jar.html.
If the manifest is omitted, a simple one will be supplied by Apache
Ant.
Just add manifest attribute or use zip task.
Also ant path masks are used incorrectly. See http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Apache_Ant/Fileset.
Corrected version:
<zip destfile="${build.dest}/${bundlename}.jar">
<fileset dir="${src.dir}">
<include name="META-INF/**" />
<include name="**/*.class" />
<include name="**/*.properties"/>
</fileset>
</zip>

A sample of build.xml for ANTLR project?

A project's building process is suffering, unless it becomes automatic.
I have started with ANTLR since recently. ANT seems to be the very building tool for that purpose. Compile, jar, and test... But I have found little code source of the script build.xml for that purpose.
So would you guys would like to share your template build.xml for your antlr project (either Java task or ANTLR task will be fine)? Thanks.
This is roughly what I use:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project name="YourProject">
<property name="main.package" value="yourproject"/>
<property name="parser.package" value="${main.package}/parser"/>
<property name="main.src.dir" value="src/main"/>
<property name="test.src.dir" value="src/test"/>
<property name="grammar.src.dir" value="src/grammar"/>
<property name="grammar.file" value="${grammar.src.dir}/YourGrammar.g"/>
<property name="build.dir" value="build"/>
<property name="classes.dir" value="${build.dir}/classes"/>
<property name="main.build.dir" value="${classes.dir}/main"/>
<property name="test.build.dir" value="${classes.dir}/test"/>
<path id="classpath">
<pathelement location="${main.src.dir}"/>
<pathelement location="${test.src.dir}"/>
<pathelement location="${main.build.dir}"/>
<pathelement location="${test.build.dir}"/>
<!-- the ANTLR jar is in the lib directory, of course -->
<fileset dir="lib">
<include name="*.jar"/>
</fileset>
</path>
<!-- init target -->
<target name="compile" depends="init" description="Compiles all source files.">
<javac srcdir="${main.src.dir}" destdir="${main.build.dir}" includeantruntime="false">
<classpath refid="classpath"/>
</javac>
<javac srcdir="${test.src.dir}" destdir="${test.build.dir}" includeantruntime="false">
<classpath refid="classpath"/>
</javac>
</target>
<target name="generate" depends="init" description="Generates the lexer and parser from the .g grammar file.">
<echo>Generating the lexer and parser...</echo>
<java classname="org.antlr.Tool" fork="true" failonerror="true">
<arg value="-fo"/>
<arg value="${main.src.dir}/${parser.package}"/>
<arg value="${grammar.file}"/>
<classpath refid="classpath"/>
</java>
<!--
compile the generated parser and lexer source file to see
if there's no illegal code inside these source files
-->
<antcall target="compile"/>
</target>
<!-- other targets -->
</project>
Here's the core pieces of mine, which I think integrates a little better. I'm not sure when ANTLR's -make option was added--I'm using 3.2.
It assumes that grammars are kept in the packages where their generated parsers will be going.
Keeps generated source files separate from normal source files so that they can be cleaned
Only regenerates parser+lexer sources when they are older than grammar file
multiple grammars can be processed in a single pass
ANTLR errors are reported correctly by ant
<project name="MyProject">
<property name="lib.antlr" value="lib/antlr-3.2.jar" />
<property name="src.dir" value="${user.dir}" />
<property name="src.java" value="${src.dir}/java" />

ant build script issue

I have 2 ant build scripts named "build" and "tarne"
Build:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<project name="build" default="zip">
<property name="project.name" value="projectName"/>
<property name="version" value="default_version_value"/>
<taskdef resource="net/sf/antcontrib/antcontrib.properties">
<classpath>
<pathelement location="lib/build/ant-contrib.jar"/>
</classpath>
</taskdef>
<var name="version2" value="default_version_value"/>
<property name="tmp" value="tmp"/>
<property name="build.dir" location="${tmp}/component/${project.name}"/>
<property name="java.classes" location="${tmp}/component/${project.name}/classes"/>
<property name="weblayout.dir" location="${tmp}/weblayout/resources/${project.name}"/>
<path id="compile.classpath">
<fileset dir="lib" includes="**/*.jar" />
<fileset dir="lib/build" includes="*.zip" />
</path>
<target name="clean">
<delete dir="${tmp}" />
</target>
<target name="init" depends="clean">
<mkdir dir="${java.classes}" />
</target>
<target name="compile" depends="init">
<javac srcdir="src" source="1.5" target="1.5" encoding="utf-8" includes="**/*.java" destdir="${java.classes}" classpathref="compile.classpath" />
</target>
<target name="copy-resources" depends="compile">
//Lots of copying here
</target>
<target name="read.version" description="Parses the hda file for your version number">
<property file="${project.name}.hda" prefix="hda"/>
<propertyregex property="version" input="${hda.version}" regexp="\." replace="-" global="true" override="true"/>
<var name="version2" value="${version}"/>
<echo>${version}</echo>
<echo>${version2}</echo>
</target>
<target name="zip" depends="copy-resources, read.version" description="Package component">
<zip destfile="${project.name}-${version}.zip" basedir="${tmp}" />
<delete dir="${tmp}" />
</target>
</project>
Tarne:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<project default="tarne">
<include file="build.xml"/>
<property name="project.name" value="build.project.name"/>
<target name="tarne">
<antcall target="build.read.version" inheritRefs="true"></antcall>
<property name="version" value="build.version"/>
<property name="version2" value="build.version2"/>
<echo>${version}</echo>
<echo>${version2}</echo>
</target>
</project>
And the output I get when I run tarne.xml is:
Buildfile: tarne.xml
tarne:
build.read.version:
[echo] v1-0-1
[echo] v1-0-1
[echo] default_version_value
[echo] default_version_value
Where the first 2 lines (v1-0-1) are from inside the read.version target of build.xml and the next 2 lines are from tarne.xml. The general idea is that I should be able to access the version number in my tarne.xml build script.
Any ideas on what's going wrong?
Antcall does not support what you intend to do:
http://ant.apache.org/manual/Tasks/antcall.html :
The called target(s) are run in a new project; be aware that this means properties, references, etc. set by called targets will not persist back to the calling project.
you could try:
<target name="tarne" depends="build.read.version">
</target>
which would keep the new values.
Try
<property name="version" value="${build.version}"/>
<property name="version2" value="${build.version2}"/>
