I have been struggling trying to figure out how to conditionally include Flex libraries in an ant build based on a property that is set on the command line. I have tried a number of approaches with the <condition/>
task, but so far have not gotten it to work. Here is where I am currently.
I have an init target that includes condition tasks like this:
<condition property="automation.libs" value="automation.qtp">
<equals arg1="${automation}" arg2="qtp" casesensitive="false" trim="true"/>
</condition>
The purpose of this task is to set a property that determines the name of the patternset to be used when declaring the implicit fileset on a mxmlc or compc task. The pattern set referenced above is defined as:
<patternset id="automation.qtp">
<include name="automation*.swc"/>
<include name="qtp.swc"/>
</patternset>
The named patternset is then referenced by the mxmlc or compc task like this:
<compc>
<compiler.include-libraries dir="${FLEX_HOME}/frameworks/libs" append="true">
<patternset refid="${automation.libs}"/>
</compiler.include-libraries>
</compc>
This doesn't appear to work. At least the SWC size does not indicate that the additional automation libraries have been compiled in. I want to be able to specify a command line property that determine which patternset to use for various types of builds.
Does anyone have any ideas about how to accomplish this? Thanks!
