Hi,
I am trying to write a custom ant task to accept two parameters and
return a string as the output. I have tried the following
1. First I did use the java task with 'outputproperty' and that works
well, returns the output string fine, however, it also returns a lot of
log statements from the java class, so, instead of returning a string,
it actually returns a stringbuffer. This is not good because the output
string is referred to in other targets
what else does <java> output? It shouldnt return anything else except
that which your program prints
2. I tried writing in output file and that works perfect. Hoeever this
is not the preferable solution for me.
if you write to a properties file, you can read it in later with
<property file>
3. I tried writing a custom ant task extending java task and tried to
get the outputproperty, but it does not seem to work either. It does not
return the outputproperty as the java task does.
if the code is all running in-process, just call
getProject().setNewProperty() with the property+value you want to set.
