I am using (and learning) Buildr to build and package my projects. I would like to auto generate the class-path attribute in an EJB projects MANIFEST file. Currently I am doing:
manifest_cp = compile.dependencies.map { |d|
"#{File.basename(d.name)}"
}.join(" ")
package(:jar).with :manifest=>manifest.merge('Class-Path'=>manifest_cp)
I am new to Ruby and Buildr so there probably is a better way to do this. However I was actually hoping to be able to generate the jars I define and package in my EAR as opposed to getting the compile dependencies in my JAR.
I package my ear project like:
package(:ear).include(ANTLR, AOP_ALLIANCE, ...
Is it possible in my EJB project build when packaging the jar and modifying the manifest I create the Class-Path attribute with all the dependencies packaged in the EAR? On top of that I would also like to exclude one or two dependencies?
thanks
UPDATE
I tried a different approach that seems better (but still probably there are much better ways than what I have). I created a constant that held all my artifacts I want to include in my EAR and then built up the classpath string:
EARLIBS = [ANTLR, AOP_ALLIANCE, ... ]
manifest_cp = Buildr.artifacts(EARLIBS).each { |artifact| artifact.invoke }.map{ |d|
"#{File.basename(d.to_s)}"
}.join(" ")
When I package the EJB I specify the manifest_cp that was created above:
package(:jar).with :manifest=>manifest.merge('Class-Path'=>manifest_cp)
When I package the EAR I reference the constant declared with all the artifacts:
package(:ear).include(EARLIBS)
Even though this works for what I want I would appreciate it if anyone has a better way of doing it
thanks,
