自定义Ant

继承Task类

这里需要实现excute方法，我们在这里调用函数，而不是在构造函数中（回返回null）。

import org.apache.tools.ant.Task;
import org.apache.tools.ant.BuildException;
import org.apache.tools.ant.Project;
public class HelloWorld extends Task {
    //get message from the ant Project
    String msg;
    public void setMessage(String msg) {
        this.msg = msg;
    }
    public void execute() {
        if (msg==null) {
            throw new BuildException("no message received");

        }
        System.out.println("receive msg:"+msg);
        //get the name of Ant Project
        String projectName = getProject().getProperty("ant.project.name");
        System.out.println("The name of Project :"+projectName);
    }

}

生成jar

下面需要将上述的Java文件编译并打包成jar。
执行ant -f generate-jar.xml。

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<project name="MyTask" basedir="." default="jar">

    <property name="src.dir" value="src"/>
    <property name="classes.dir" value="classes"/>

    <target name="clean" description="Delete all generated files">
        <delete dir="${classes.dir}" failonerror="false"/>
        <delete file="${ant.project.name}.jar"/>
    </target>

    <target name="compile" description="Compiles the Task">
        <mkdir dir="${classes.dir}"/>
        <javac srcdir="${src.dir}" destdir="${classes.dir}"/>
    </target>

    <target name="jar" description="JARs the Task" depends="compile">
        <jar destfile="${ant.project.name}.jar" basedir="${classes.dir}"/>
    </target>
</project>

执行Task任务

这里首先需要定义Task，然后执行。

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<project name="MyTask" basedir="." default="use">

<taskdef name="helloworld" classname="HelloWorld" classpath="${ant.project.name}.jar"/>

    <target name="use" description="Use the Task">
        <helloworld message="Hi,This is MyTask!!!"/>
    </target>

</project>

结果如图:

嵌套元素

• 创建Message内部类，来收集嵌套元素应当包含的信息。

public class Message {                                 
        public Message() {}
        String msg;
        public void setMsg(String msg) { this.msg = msg; }
        public String getMsg() { return msg; }
    }

• 以List方式保持Message对象

 Vector messages = new Vector(); 

• 实例化Message对象，保存List上面的引用，并返回给Ant

public Message createMessage() {                       
        Message msg = new Message();
        messages.add(msg);
        return msg;
    }

• 在excute方法中遍历该list

public void execute() {
        if (message!=null) log(message);
        for (Iterator it=messages.iterator(); it.hasNext(); ) { 
            Message msg = (Message)it.next();
            log(msg.getMsg());
        }
    }

• 下面在build.xml中使用嵌套元素

<taskdef name="Nested-helloworld" classname="NestedElements" classpath="${ant.project.name}.jar"/>
        <!-- 嵌套-->
        <Nested-helloworld>
            <message msg="Nested Element 1"/>
            <message msg="Nested Element 2"/>
        </Nested-helloworld>
