[TM4J-users] TM4J Ant tasks

[Peter K. <pet...@bl...>]

Hi,

TM4j has already today one file-oriented topicmap merge task but I 
needed some more tasks especially some that manipulate topicmaps in the 
provider. I would like to donate this back the TM4J project as more 
people might be interested in these. Would somebody with committer 
rights please have a look at the tasks and integrate them into the CVS?

All tasks work the same, a dburl must be specified for either a Ozone or 
Hibernate persistence backend as all tasks work on a provider not in 
memory. Topicmaps are referenced by a uri attribute.
The following tasks are included:

<antlib>
  <typedef name="create" classname="org.tm4j.ant.CreateTopicMap"/>
  <typedef name="exist" classname="org.tm4j.ant.ExistTopicMap"/>
  <typedef name="export" classname="org.tm4j.ant.ExportTopicMap"/>
  <typedef name="load" classname="org.tm4j.ant.LoadTopicMap"/>
  <typedef name="merge" classname="org.tm4j.ant.MergeTopicMap"/>
  <typedef name="remove" classname="org.tm4j.ant.RemoveTopicMap"/>
  <typedef name="list" classname="org.tm4j.ant.ListTopicMap"/>
  <typedef name="topic" classname="org.tm4j.ant.CreateTopic"/>
  <typedef name="association" classname="org.tm4j.ant.CreateAssociation"/>
  <typedef name="occurrence" classname="org.tm4j.ant.CreateOccurrence"/>
  <typedef name="rmtopic" classname="org.tm4j.ant.RemoveTopic"/>
</antlib>

I use the technique of antlib and namespaces as one can see in the 
included test build.xml.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="TM4J" default="usage" xmlns:tm="http://tm4j.org/ant">
                                                                                               
^^^^^^^^^^^^

...
  <typedef resource="org/tm4j/ant/antlib.xml" uri="http://tm4j.org/ant">
                                        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^            
^^^^^^^^^^^^
    <classpath>
...
    </classpath>
  </typedef>

I put the tasks into the package org.tm4j.ant not .taskdefs in order to 
keep them separate from the still needed file-oriented merge task, but 
this can be changed of course.

Regards, Peter
