Ant tasks for compiling GWT javascript?

[jdpl28]

Hi,

I'm trying to integrate a GWT project into our ANT build system, and
was wondering is there any tasks written to do this? Also is there any
documentation on this kind of thing?

thanks,
Justin

I am using a simple macro to run GWT compiler. However, having a
proper GWT task that would analyze whether source files were changed
would be a great thing. I'm not sure if anyone has implemented such a
task.

<macrodef name="gwtc">
<attribute name="module"/>
<sequential>
<echo message="gwtc: @{module}" />
<java classname="com.google.gwt.dev.GWTCompiler"
fork="true">
<arg value="-logLevel"/>
<arg value="WARN"/>
<!--arg value="-style"/>
<arg value="PRETTY"/-->
<arg value="-out"/>
<arg value="../${moysklad.build.dir}/$
{ant.project.name}/web"/>
<arg value="@{module}"/>
<jvmarg value="-Xmx192m" />
<jvmarg value="-Xms128m" />
<classpath refid="gwt.classpath"/>
</java>
</sequential>
</macrodef>

hi

<target name="gwt.compile.module">

<java classname="com.google.gwt.dev.GWTCompiler" fork="true">

<jvmarg value="-Xmx256M"/>
<arg value="-out"/>
<arg value="${www.dir}"/>
<arg value="${gwt.module}"/>
<classpath>
<pathelement location="${base}/src"/>
<pathelement location="${base}/lib/gwt-user.jar"/>
<pathelement location="${gwt.home}/gwt-dev-${platform}.jar"/>
</classpath>
</java>
</target>

I use ant for building the pages in the following way:

<java classname="com.google.gwt.dev.GWTCompiler" fork="true">

            <arg value="-out"/>
            <arg value="${ static.dir}"/>
            <arg value="%*"/>
            <arg value="com.mycompany.Application"/>
            <arg value="-logLevel"/>
            <arg value="TRACE"/>
            <classpath>
                <path refid="project.class.path"/>
            </classpath>
        </java>

the ${static.dir} is the folder where the generated pages go to (normally this is the folder with the name "static"> the com.mycompany.Application is your module name. The class path for me is:

<path id="project.class.path">
       
            <!-- External libraries -->
            <pathelement location="${ lib.dir}spring.jar"/>
            <pathelement location="${lib.dir}gwtext.jar"/>
            <pathelement location="${lib.dir}gwt-user.jar"/>
            <pathelement location="${ lib.dir}gwt-servlet.jar"/>
            <pathelement location="${lib.dir}gwt-dev-windows.jar"/>
            <pathelement location="${lib.dir}gwt-sl.jar"/>
            <pathelement location="${ lib.dir}cglib-nodep-2.1_3.jar"/>
            <pathelement location="${lib.dir}gwt-google-apis.jar"/>
            <pathelement location="${lib.dir}log4j-1.2.14.jar"/>
            <pathelement location="${ lib.dir}googlemaps_gwt_2_2_1.jar"/>
            <!-- Client source dir -->
            <pathelement location="${client.dir}"/>
           
            <!-- Server source dir -->
            <pathelement location="${server.dir}"/>
        </path>
