Description Jesse Glick 2004-09-17 21:32:59 UTC

In order to make the <export> element (i.e.
AntArtifact) in project.xml more accessible, the
properties dialog code should create it when
applicable.

It is not possible to perfectly guess what the
proper semantics for <export> should be without
asking the user more things in the GUI. However
for 4.0 we should be able to make some educated
guesses that will be good enough.

Recommend that you check if <ide-action
name="build"> exists and has exactly one <target>.
If so, then for each <compilation-unit> which has
at least one <built-to> referring to a JAR file
(rather than a directory), create an <export>
element with

- <type>jar</type>

- <location>...</> according to the <built-to>
location (take only the first one, if >1 are
specified)

- <script>...</> if the build command has a <script>

- <build-target>...</> according to the <target>
in the build command

- no <clean-target>...</> needed (will be guessed
from the 'clean' command if there is one)

Not perfect but will probably cover 75% of the
cases out there adequately.

Implemented as suggested. The bad side of this change is that any
customization of export section by hand will be overriden now.

If there are multiple built-to tags, the export tag is generated only
for the first one. I have a project that generates multiple jar files
and I have multiple <built-to> tags under the <compilation-unit>

Comment 4 Marian Mirilovic 2005-12-20 15:46:22 UTC

This issue was solved long time ago. Because nobody has reopened it neither
added comments, we are verifying/closing it now. 
If you are still able to reproduce the problem, please reopen. Thanks in advance.
