ATG Ant tasks

Matt Sicker's CV

This repository hosts my CV/resume which is written in LaTeX.

Building

On macOS, just install MacTeX. On Ubuntu, the following minimal install works:

apt install --no-install-recommends texlive latex-xcolor texlive-latex-extra texlive-fonts-extra

Then run pdflatex on the file a couple times:

pdflatex cv.tex
pdflatex cv.tex

atg-ant-plugin's Issues

Fix the example module.

The example module needs to be a working demo that shows how to use the antlib to make a complete ATG project. Although the plugin seems to work fine in our usage at Peapod, we still need a working demo to reliably show that this works.

Add support for module list in a string.

Somewhat like how the original atgant supported lists of modules. This would be good for allowing these to be specified in a properties file.

Provide compatible taskdefs from ATG

Basically, ATG has a few Ant taskdefs. Provide open source versions of these that maintain API compatibility. The primary one that comes to mind is the assemble EAR task (exploded and zipped).

Add generated date and time attributes to manifest.

The manifest attributes ATG-Date and ATG-Time should be added to generated manifest files. The format for date is YYYYMMDD and time is HH MM SS.

Add ability to parse required modules from zip files.

For instance, suppose a module declares it has a war, ear, or ejb file. There could be valuable dependency information included in some of these files. It would be great to pull in this information.

Use Ant to build this.

I'm actually not sure why I switched this to use Gradle. It seems appropriate to use Ant instead for an Ant plugin.

Update documentation

Not only does the main README need to get updated, but the comments in the antlib.xml file should also be updated to reflect the task and type names.

Incorrect circular module dependency reported if module required twice

A circular dependency is reported if two modules in the build require the same third module. For example:

Module A has no dependencies
Module B depends on Module A
Module C has a dependency on Module A
Module D has a dependency on Module B and Module C

Trying to build Module D results in a circular dependency error on Module A.

Add manifest file generator task.

Instead of relying on parsing a hand-maintained manifest file, how about generating one based on the provided ant data? For instance, it might look like this:

<atg:atg home="${user.home}/ATG/ATG11.0" id="atg"/>
<atg:modules id="atg.modules">
  <atg:module module="DAS-UI"/>
  <atg:module module="DSS"/>
</atg:module>
<target name="-generate-manifest">
  <atg:manifest modules="atg.modules" basedir="dist/j2ee-apps/MyModule" classpathref="classpath"/>
</target>

Which would generate a file in dist/j2ee-apps/MyModule/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF with the required modules and classpath. This should be a derivation of the normal manifest task from ant so that you can specify more attributes and such as usual.

Use AntUnit or something for unit tests.

This looks handy!
