Embedding WOFrameworks

Version 35.1 by Kieran Kelleher on 2007/03/30 15:58

Caveat: This example assumes that each framework you want to embed has an ant build.xml file with a buildAndCompile target. For frameworks you create yourself using WOLips, you will have this, but for a case where you are checking out individual Wonder framework projects from CVS, then you probably will not have such a build.xml file, so this approach is not quick to implement in that case unless you want to spend a lot of time working on ant build files to resolve the missing build.xml having a buildAndCompile target for those external projects.

Example for embedding WOFrameworks.

It's often a good idea to create your own targets in the build.xml or even create your own build.xml (with a different name). This leaves the door open for an update of the default build.xml.

Assume two projects: One named Foo( a framework) and the other named Uli (an application). The parent folder has another folder named packandgo.

The xml from the application. Two minor changes to the default build.xml:
1 application target


<!-- package and go example-->
<frameworks root="../packageandgo/frameworks" embed="true">
   <include name="*.framework"/>
</frameworks>

2 compile target


<!-- package and go example-->
<fileset dir="../packageandgo/frameworks">
   <include name = "**/*.jar"/>
</fileset>

The xml from the packageandgo folder:

Just invoke ant in the packageandgo folder and grap the App from the applications folder within the packageandgo folder.
