Re: Append behavior to "build" action

[Javier Ortiz]

First this should be on the [hidden email] list.

 

I use the following:

 

<property name="original.project.dir" value="../Path/to/desired/project"/>

 

    <target name="netbeans" depends="-define-ant-contrib-tasks ">

        <if>

            <isset property="original.project.dir"/>

            <then>

                <property file="${original.project.dir}/nbproject/project.properties" prefix="extension-lib"/>

                <length string="${extension-lib.dist.dir}" property="length.dist" />

                <math result="length.dist" operand1="1" operation="+" operand2="${length.dist}" datatype="int"/>

                <length string="${extension-lib.dist.jar}" property="length.dist.jar" />

                <substring text="${extension-lib.dist.jar}" start="${length.dist}" end="${length.dist.jar}" property="extension-lib.dist.jar" />

                <!--Update the module's property file-->

                <propertyfile file="nbproject/project.properties">

                    <entry key="extra.module.files" value="modules/ext/${extension-lib.dist.jar}"/>

                </propertyfile>

                <!--Update the project's metadata-->

                <xmltask source="nbproject/project.xml" dest="nbproject/project.xml">

                    <replace path="/project/configuration/data[1]/class-path-extension/runtime-relative-path/text()"

                             withText="ext/${extension-lib.dist.jar}"/>

                    <replace path="/project/configuration/data[1]/class-path-extension/binary-origin/text()"

                             withText="${original.project.dir}/dist/${extension-lib.dist.jar}"/>

                </xmltask>

                <property name="original.project.jar"

                          value="${original.project.dir}/dist/${extension-lib.dist.jar}"/>

                <echo message="Building ${original.project.dir}"/>

                <ant dir="${original.project.dir}" usenativebasedir="true"

                     target="jar" inheritall="false" inheritrefs="false"/>

                <echo message="Done building ${original.project.dir}"/>

                <copy todir="../build/cluster/modules/ext" file="${original.project.jar}"/>

            </then>

        </if>

        <antcall target="projectized-common.netbeans"/>

    </target>

 

    <target name="clean" depends="projectized-common.clean, -define-ant-contrib-tasks ">

        <if>

            <isset property="original.project.dir"/>

            <then>

                <echo message="Cleaning ${original.project.dir}"/>

                <ant dir="${original.project.dir}" usenativebasedir="true"

                     target="clean" inheritall="false" inheritrefs="false"/>

                <echo message="Done cleaning ${original.project.dir}"/>

            </then>

        </if>

    </target>

 

The script above compiles the target Java project, gets it into the proper place of the RCP app compilation process and updates key files with the proper values (in case the java project changes output jar name for example. Make sure to add this to the project.xml file of the NB module:

 

<class-path-extension>

                <runtime-relative-path>ext/x.jar</runtime-relative-path>

                <binary-origin>../Path/to/desired/project /dist/x.jar</binary-origin>

            </class-path-extension>

 

The script will change x.jar with the proper name. The script assumes there’s only one entry like the above.

 

Feel free to make any question you have about it.

Subject: [nbusers] Append behavior to "build" action

 

 

Hello all,

 

I’m working on a netbeans platform/maven application, that requires a custom .jar to be on its /platform/core folder when its run.

We use IzPack to create the installer, so it’s easy to copy the .jar to its destination when the app is installed.

 

However, on the development environment, how can I copy the required .jar file to the /target/myApp/platform/core folder every time the “Build”, “Clean and build” of “Build with Dependencies” action is executed in NetBeans?

 

I’ve completely no idea of where to start or what to do, so any pointers to reading material are greatly appreciated.
