sharing a visualization of the ant build.xml dependency structure
Our team was trying to write a custom target in the NetBeans build.xml. Since there were so many targets in the sunspot build.xml it calls, it was making my heads spin thinking about the interactions. So I turned it into a visual dependency graph.
Sharing in case anyone else is reading the xml:
Ant terminology for anyone reading this who is confused: - build.xml - the name of the file containing instructions on how to build/package/deploy the java code
- target - kind of like a method except in XML and it gets called differently
- sunspot build.xml - comes with the plugins - has many targets and calls/includes other xml files with even more targets
