executefilecompile

Description

Executes compilation of provided files.

Prerequisites

This task requires some properties to be defined beforehand to ensure that the correct type of compilation is performed for the specified file extension:

mf.cfg - name of the build configuration.
fileextn.<file extension> - file extension properties are prefixed fileextn followed by a file extension; for example <property name="fileextn.cbl" value="cobol"/>. The value of the property indicates the type of compilation that should be executed.

The task requires a target for each type of compilation specified in the value of a property. The target performs the actual compilation of the file passed to this task.

The target name must follow the syntax:

FileCompile.${mf.cfg}.${fileextn.<file extension>}

For example, taking the following properties:

<property name="mf.cfg" value "singleFileConfig"/>
<property name="fileextn.cbl" value "cobol"/>

Would imply the presence of the following target

<target name="FileCompile.singleFileConfig.cobol">
</target>

Parameters

Attribute	Description	Required
fileslist	The list of file names to process, delimited by a comma (",") with or without spaces	Yes

Examples

Compiles files from fileslist:

<executefilecompile filesList="${fileslist}" />
