How to use the Array property in ant task?

Question

I created an Ant task in which I would like to have an array of properties? First of all, is this possible? Ant allows us to have an array of properties?

public class MyTask extends Task {
    private String tokens[] = null;
    public void setTokens(String[] _tokens) {
        //...
    }
    public void execute() {
     // iterator over the conditions
    }
}

Now, how to set tokens in the Ant build <file? >

Answer 1

It sounds like you want to set some internal tags.

Writing your own task gives some recommendations. The section you are in is support for nested elements. It is pretty simple. I would be inclined to use something like the following

List tokens = new ArrayList();

public void addConfiguredToken(NestedElement token) {
    tokens.add(token);
}

Then you can use it using the following:

<task>
    <token value="XXX" />
    <token value="YYY" />
</task>
