I'd like to define a list of variables in ant build file in order to use for loop with this list in my tasks. How can I do that?
p.s.: It should be something like the following:
<varlist name="mylist"> <!-- Actually, there is no such tag in Ant -->
<item>someThing</item>
<item>anotherThing</item>
</varlist>
...
<for param="item" list="${mylist}">
<sequential>
<echo>@{item}</echo>
</sequential>
</for>
<!-- "For" task is supported by Ant-Contrib Tasks
http://ant-contrib.sourceforge.net/tasks/tasks/index.html -->
<taskdef resource="net/sf/antcontrib/antlib.xml">
<classpath>
<pathelement location="ant-contrib-1.0b3.jar"/>
</classpath>
</taskdef>
<property name="someThing" value="Hello"/>
<property name="anotherThing" value="World!"/>
<target name="loop">
<for param="item" list="${someThing},${anotherThing}">
<sequential>
<echo>@{item}</echo>
</sequential>
</for>
</target>
Not sure if this is what you meant:
<echo message="The first five letters of the alphabet are:"/>
<for list="a,b,c,d,e" param="letter">
<sequential>
<echo>Letter @{letter}</echo>
</sequential>
</for>
