The idea is that the user can define an arbitrary list of source paths and/or library (swc) paths into an Ant properties file and the build file takes these values and evaluates them for use in the mxmlc task....
Hey folks, I'm using ant+ivy+nexus to build and publish my java OSGi projects (just good old jars if you're unfamiliar with OSGi). After the usual mind-melting period one has when engaging with new tech I've got a mostly functional system. But, I now have two dimensions of artifact variation: snapshot/release and main/test. The main/t...
My ActionScript project builds with several compile-time specified constants. They are all Booleans, and only one of them is true at any given time. The rest must be false. When I represented my build process in a bash script, I could loop through the names of all these constants, set one of them to be true and the rest to be false, the...

I'm on a project where we use NetBeans (6.8). We use several different web services, which we have added as web service references, and Netbeans auto-generates the Ant wsimport scripts for us. Very handy, with one drawback: The web service clients are recompiled every time ant is invoked. This slows down the build process considerably an...
I am currently working on a project with both java and C# codes within. Java takes the major role in this project. However, C# still takes a small part in it. I am using Ant to build the projects, and would very much like to use it to build C# too. I have learned that it's possible to build C# under Ant with the help of Mono. Can anybod...
