<h2 id="include">Include</h2>
|
||||
<p><em>Since Apache Ant 1.8.0</em></p>
|
||||
<h3>Description</h3>
|
||||
<p>Include another build file into the current project.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><strong>Note</strong> this task heavily relies on the ProjectHelper implementation and doesn't
|
||||
really perform any work of its own. If you have configured Ant to use a ProjectHelper other
|
||||
than Ant's default, this task may or may not work.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>On execution it will read another Ant file into the same project rewriting the included
|
||||
target <var>name</var>s and <var>depends</var> lists. This is different
|
||||
from <a href="https://ant.apache.org/faq.html#xml-entity-include" target="_top">Entity Includes
|
||||
as explained in the Ant FAQ</a> insofar as the target names get prefixed by the included
|
||||
project's <var>name</var> or <var>as</var> attribute and do not appear as if the file was
|
||||
contained in the including file.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The <code>include</code> task may only be used as a top-level task. This means that
|
||||
it may not be used in a target.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>There are two further functional aspects that pertain to this task and that are not possible
|
||||
with entity includes:</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>target rewriting</li>
|
||||
<li>special properties</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<h4>Target rewriting</h4>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Any target in the included file will be renamed to <q>prefix.name</q> where <q>name</q> is the
|
||||
original target's name and <q>prefix</q> is either the value of the <var>as</var> attribute or
|
||||
the <var>name</var> attribute of the <code>project</code> tag of the included file.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The <var>depends</var> attribute of all included targets is rewritten so that all target names
|
||||
are prefixed as well. This makes the included file self-contained.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Note that prefixes nest, so if a build file includes a file with prefix <q>q</q> and the
|
||||
included file includes another file with prefix <q>b</q>, then the targets of that last build
|
||||
file will be prefixed by <q>a.b.</q>.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><code><import></code> contribute to the prefix as well, but only if their <var>as</var>
|
||||
attribute has been specified.
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>Special properties</h4>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Included files are treated as they are present in the main buildfile. This makes it easy to
|
||||
understand, but it makes it impossible for them to reference files and resources relative to
|
||||
their path. Because of this, for every included file, Ant adds a property that contains the
|
||||
path to the included buildfile. With this path, the included buildfile can keep resources and be
|
||||
able to reference them relative to its position.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>So if I include for example a <samp>docsbuild.xml</samp> file named <q>builddocs</q>, I can get
|
||||
its path as <code>ant.file.builddocs</code>, similarly to the <code>ant.file</code> property of
|
||||
the main buildfile.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Note that <q>builddocs</q> is not the filename, but the <var>name</var> attribute present in
|
||||
the included <code>project</code> tag.</p>
|
||||
<p>If the included file does not have a <var>name</var> attribute,
|
||||
the <code>ant.file.<i>projectname</i></code> property will not be set.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If you need to know whether the current build file's source has been a file or an URL you can
|
||||
consult the property <code>ant.file.type.<i>projectname</i></code> (using the same example as
|
||||
above <code>ant.file.type.builddocs</code>) which either have the value <q>file</q>
|
||||
or <q>url</q>.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>Resolving files against the included file</h4>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Suppose your main build file called <samp>including.xml</samp> includes a build
|
||||
file <samp>included.xml</samp>, located anywhere on the file system,
|
||||
and <samp>included.xml</samp> reads a set of properties
|
||||
from <samp>included.properties</samp>:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
<!-- including.xml -->
|
||||
<project name="including" basedir="." default="...">
|
||||
<include file="${path_to_included}/included.xml"/>
|
||||
</project>
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- included.xml -->
|
||||
<project name="included" basedir="." default="...">
|
||||
<property file="included.properties"/>
|
||||
</project></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>This snippet however will resolve <samp>included.properties</samp> against
|
||||
the <var>basedir</var> of <samp>including.xml</samp>, because the <var>basedir</var>
|
||||
of <samp>included.xml</samp> is ignored by Ant. The right way to
|
||||
use <samp>included.properties</samp> is:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
<!-- included.xml -->
|
||||
<project name="included" basedir="." default="...">
|
||||
<dirname property="included.basedir" file="${ant.file.included}"/>
|
||||
<property file="${included.basedir}/included.properties"/>
|
||||
</project></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>As explained above <code>ant.file.included</code> stores the path of the build script, that
|
||||
defines the project called <q>included</q>, (in short it stores the path
|
||||
to <samp>included.xml</samp>) and <a href="dirname.html"><code><dirname></code></a> takes
|
||||
its directory. This technique also allows <samp>included.xml</samp> to be used as a standalone
|
||||
file (without being included in other project).</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The above description only works for included files that actually are included from files and
|
||||
not from URLs. For files included from URLs using resources relative to the included file
|
||||
requires you to use tasks that can work on non-file resources in the first place. To create a
|
||||
relative resource you'd use something like:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
<loadproperties>
|
||||
<url baseUrl="${ant.file.included}"
|
||||
relativePath="included.properties"/>
|
||||
</loadproperties></pre>

||||

||||

|
||||
<classpath location="common.jar"/>
|
||||
</javaresource>
|
||||
</include></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Includes targets from the <samp>targets.xml</samp> file that is inside the
|
||||
directory <samp>common</samp> inside the jar file <samp>common.jar</samp>.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>How is <a href="import.html"><import></a> different from <include>?</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The short version: Use <code>import</code> if you intend to override a target, otherwise
|
||||
use <code>include</code>.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>When <code>import</code> is used, the imported targets are available by up to two names: their
|
||||
"normal" name without any prefix and potentially with a prefixed name (the value of
|
||||
the <var>as</var> attribute or the imported project's <var>name</var> attribute, if any).</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>When <code>include</code> is used, the included targets are only available in the prefixed form.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>When <code>import</code> is used, the imported target's <var>depends</var> attribute remains
|
||||
unchanged, i.e. it uses "normal" names and allows you to override targets in the dependency
|
||||
list.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>When <code>include</code> is used, the included targets cannot be overridden and
|
||||
their <var>depends</var> attributes are rewritten so that prefixed names are used. This allows
|
||||
writers of the included file to control which target is invoked as part of the dependencies.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>It is possible to <code>include</code> the same file more than once by using different prefixes;
|
||||
it is not possible to <code>import</code> the same file more than once.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
