starting an Ant task from a Xpand workflow [message #512407]

Hello,

For my project I have a MWE workflow which generates my code. It also generates an Ant buildfile so I can then compile the generated Java code.

The question is: is their a way to start an Ant task (basically the default task) of the buildfile, so I generate the code, and it is automatically compiled into a jar file and I get my final application without having to start manually the compilation ?

Another question : is it possible to copy files from a directory to another using a task in the workflow (I have some files which does not depend on the model, and I juste have to copy it into the src-gen directory, is it possible to do that during the execution of the workflow ?).

Thanks !

Matthieu

Adding new tasks is only a matter of implementing IWorkflowComponent.
But given your sceario I'ld recommend to start the workflow from ant
instead. MWE is shipped with an ANT task.
