Adding new targets to the Ant build process
The Ant conductor extension point is used to make new targets
available to the Ant processing pipeline. This may be done as part
of creating a new transform, extending pre-processing, or simply to
provide Ant targets for the use of other plug-ins.
dita.conductor.target.relativedita.conductor.target-
Add Ant import to main Ant build file.
Remember
Thedita.conductor.targetextension is deprecated. Usedita.conductor.target.relativeinstead.
Example
To extend And processing,
first place your extensions in an Ant project file within your plug-in,
such as myAntStuff.xml. Next, create
a small wrapper file myAntStuffWrapper.xml in
the same directory:
<dummy> <import file="myAntStuff.xml"/> </dummy>
Then create the following feature:
<plugin id="com.example.ant"> <feature extension="dita.conductor.target.relative" file="myAntStuffWrapper.xml"/> </plugin>
When the plug-in is integrated, the imports
from myAntStuffWrapper.xml will be copied into build.xml (using
the correct path). This makes targets in myAntStuff.xml available
to any other processing.
