| <h2><a name="fileset">ClassFileSet</a></h2> |
| <p>A classfileset is a specialised type of fileset which, given a set of |
| "root" classes, will include all of the class files upon which the |
| root classes depend. This is typically used to create a jar with all of the |
| required classes for a particular application. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| classfilesets are typically used by reference. They are declared with an |
| "id" value and this is then used as a reference where a normal fileset |
| is expected. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| This type requires the <code>jakarta-BCEL</code> library. |
| </p> |
| |
| |
| <h3>Attributes</h3> |
| <p>The class fileset support the following attributes in addition |
| to those supported by the |
| <a href="../CoreTypes/fileset.html">standard fileset</a>: |
| </p> |
| |
| <table border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0"> |
| <tr> |
| <td valign="top"><b>Attribute</b></td> |
| <td valign="top"><b>Description</b></td> |
| <td align="center" valign="top"><b>Required</b></td> |
| </tr> |
| <tr> |
| <td valign="top">rootclass</td> |
| <td valign="top">A single root class name</td> |
| <td valign="top" align="center">No</td> |
| </tr> |
| </table> |
| |
| <h3>Nested Elements</h3> |
| |
| <h4>Root</h4> |
| <p> |
| When more than one root class is required, multiple nested <root> elements |
| may be used |
| </p> |
| <table border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0"> |
| <tr> |
| <td valign="top"><b>Attribute</b></td> |
| <td valign="top"><b>Description</b></td> |
| <td align="center" valign="top"><b>Required</b></td> |
| </tr> |
| <tr> |
| <td valign="top">classname</td> |
| <td valign="top">The fully qualified name of the root class</td> |
| <td align="center" valign="top">Yes</td> |
| </tr> |
| </table> |
| |
| <h4>RootFileSet</h4> |
| <p> |
| A root fileset is used to add a set of root classes from a fileset. In this case the entries in |
| the fileset are expected to be Java class files. The name of the Java class is determined by the |
| relative location of the classfile in the fileset. So, the file |
| <code>org/apache/tools/ant/Project.class</code> corresponds to the Java class |
| <code>org.apache.tools.ant.Project</code>.</p> |
| |
| <h4>Examples</h4> |
| <blockquote><pre> |
| <classfileset id="reqdClasses" dir="${classes.dir}"> |
| <root classname="org.apache.tools.ant.Project" /> |
| </classfileset> |
| </pre></blockquote> |
| |
| <p>This example creates a fileset containing all the class files upon which the |
| <code>org.apache.tools.ant.Project</code> class depends. This fileset could |
| then be used to create a jar. |
| </p> |
| |
| <blockquote><pre> |
| <jar destfile="minimal.jar"> |
| <fileset refid="reqdClasses"/> |
| </jar> |
| </pre></blockquote> |
| |
| <blockquote><pre> |
| <classfileset id="reqdClasses" dir="${classes.dir}"> |
| <rootfileset dir="${classes.dir}" includes="org/apache/tools/ant/Project*.class"/> |
| </classfileset> |
| </pre></blockquote> |
| |
| <p>This example constructs the classfileset using all the class with names starting with Project |
| in the org.apache.tools.ant package</p> |
