[XOM-interest] split jars

[Elliotte Rusty Harold]

Does anyone happen to know how to write a jar task in Ant that would
bundle up everything in src/nu/xom except nu/xom/tests, nu/xom/tools,
nu/xom/samples, and nu/xom/pantry? This is a prerequisite for an
upgraded maven package.

I've been able to get Ant to exclude one directory, but not all of them.

This, for example, does not work:

<jar destFile="${sources.jar}" basedir="${build.dir}/src"
excludes="**/tests/**, **/tools/**"/>

It excludes tests but not tools. Contrary to all rational expectation
this also excludes tests but not tools:

<jar destFile="${sources.jar}" basedir="${build.dir}/src"
excludes="**/tools/**, **/tests/**"/>

I have not been able to make any rational sense out of which
directories Ant excludes when. :-(

Try this:


??????? <jardestFile="${sources.jar}" basedir="${build.dir}/src" >
??????????? <fileset dir=".">
??????????????? <include name= "**/src/**" />
??????????????? <exclude name= "**/tools/**" />
??????????????? <exclude name= "**/test/**" />
??????????? </fileset>
??????? </jar>

I think you'll get what you're looking for.

Nope. Just tried it and this one excludes tools but not tests. :-(

At this point I'm willing to believe in either a bug or a design flaw in Ant
1.7.1.

Ok, sorry I messed the file structure on my last test so it looked like it was working. reread the doc for the jar task, and this should do what you need:

??????? <jar jarfile="${sources.jar}" basedir="${build.dir}/src">
??????????????? <exclude name= "nu/xom/tools/**" />
??????????????? <exclude name= "nu/xom/test/**" />
??????????????? <exclude name= "nu/xom/pantry/**" />
??????????????? <exclude name= "nu/xom/samples/**" />
??????? </jar>

Thank you! That did it.

I was tearing my hair out over this one.

I'll probably release 1.2.5 soon, and then see if the maven folks accept
this one.
