Apache Ant TasksBindtargetsBindtargetsDescriptionMake some target the extension of some definedextension point. It will make thelist of targets dependencies of the extension point. This target is useful when you want to have a target participate to anotherbuild workflow, build workflow which explicitly expose an extension point forthat kind of insertion. But the target to bind and the extension point tobind to are both declared in some imported build files. Modifying directly thetarget dependency graph of these external build files may have a side effecton some other project which import them. This task helps then to modify thetarget dependencies but only in your context. Note: this task is quite equivalent to the definition of an intermediatetarget which will be the bridge between the target to bind and the extensionpoint. For instance: <bindtargets targets="jar,javadoc" extensionPoint="dist" />
is quite equivalent to:<target name="bind-to-dist" depends="jar,javadoc" extensionOf="dist" />
This task basically avoid the creation of a target. The bindtargets task may only be used as a top-level task. This means thatit may not be used in a target. This is making the target dependency graph staticand predictable as soon as every build file is loaded. Since Apache Ant 1.8.2 Parameters | Attribute | Description | Required | | targets | a comma separated list of target names to bind. | Yes | | extensionPoint | the name of the extension point to bind the targets to. | Yes | | onMissingExtensionPoint | What to do if this target tries to extend a missing extension-point. ("fail", "warn", "ignore"). | No. Defaults to fail | Examples<bindtargets targets="build-jar,build-src-jar" extensionPoint="dist" />
