| <h2><a href="http://services.netbeans.org/newsletter/story.php?id=1050">Module Info Task Module</a></h2> |
| <p style="margin-left:8px;"> |
| The Module Info Task modules installs an action <strong>Tools:Generate Module Info,</strong> which generates an html document with information about installed modules. The module also defines an Ant task, <code>moduleinfotask</code>, which, when run inside NetBeans (say inside the build.xml of your module or suite project), will generate an html document with information about all the modules. The <strong>Tools:Generate Module Info</strong> and the Ant task share the same code to generate the html document.
|
|
|
| <p>Ant task usage:
|
| <pre> <code><moduleinfotask htmlOutputFile="path/moduleinfo.html"/></code> </pre>
|
|
|
| Helpful for cross referencing module information and dependencies and generating a report at the end of the build. |
