Black-sun Fireant

v0.9.0 release notes

Fireant History

  • FIXED - Whether it is a bug or feature, FaFileSet now includes all files in base directory if there are no include patterns, just like FileSet. Please make sure you check your builders to account for this change, it may cause big troubles.
  • FIXED - Fixed a few bugs in FaFileUtil.getRelativePath(), ... etc for compatibility with OS that has case-insensitive filenames.
  • FIXED - Also fixed FaFileUtil.getRelativePath(File file, File base, File allowdotdot) to allow for example: FaFileUtil.getRelativePath(new File("/a/b/c/d", "/a/b/e/f", true) to return ../../c/d.
  • CHANGE - Renamed FaFileUtil.readFile() methods to asBytes() and asChars() ... etc.
  • NEW - FaFileSet, FaDirSet added methods to add patterns that may contains space or comma, eg. for FaFileSet:
    	FaFileSet include(File file);
    	FaFileSet exclude(File file);
    	FaFileSet include(String pattern);
    	FaFileSet exculde(String pattern);
    	FaFileSet include(String[] includes);
    	FaFileSet exclude(String[] excludes);
    	FaFileSet noIncludesNone();
    
  • NEW - FaFiles renamed:
    	void addIncludes(String pattern);
    	void addExcludes(String pattern);
    
    to
    	FaFiles include(String pattern);
    	FaFiles exclude(String pattern);
    
    and added methods:
    	FaFiles include(String[] patterns);
    	FaFiles exclude(String[] patterns);
    	FaFiles noIncludesNone();
    
  • NEW - Actually implemented in v0.8.0 but was missed in release notes, there is a BuildBuilder class that invoke javac to build the fireant builders for a project from command line:
    Usage:
    	java -jar blacksun-fireant.jar [-options] <source-dir>
    	Options:
    		--help                   Help.
    		--debug                  Print debug info.
    		--anthome <dir>          Ant home directory.
    		--lib <path>             Extra classpath.
    		-d <dir>                Binary output directory.
    		-e <regex>              Include files that match given jakarta-oro regex.
    		-E <regex>              Exclude files that match given jakarta-oro regex.
            
    
    After the fireant builder is build, it can be invoked to build the project from command line.

    	// Create and set unique output property.
    	public String createOutProperty();
    	public String getOutProperty();

    	public void build(Class builder, String target, File basedir, Map options);
    
  • CHANGE - FireantBuilder added methods to print available targets:
    	public String sprintTargets(String indent);
