The Other XML File
The installer shown in Figures 1 through 9 is additionally controlled by a second XML file (called build.xml) in the demo\installer folder. This file defines the project targets; that is, "default", "tgdoc", "tgsrc", and "cleanuptarget", respectively.
Listing 2 illustrates the definition of the target "tgdoc".
Listing 2 The "tgdoc" target
<target name="tgdoc" depends="">
<echo message="Installing documentation files"/>
<mkdir dir="${installDir}/doc"/>
<copy todir="${installDir}/doc" overwrite="true">
<fileset dir="${basedir}/temp/doc"/>
</copy>
</target>
Examining the target in Listing 2 indicates that first a message is displayed (you can see this message by clicking the Show Details button shown in Figure 8).
){kind=link}
Next, a folder is created into which the associated documentation component details are stored. A file copy directive then follows—notice that this operation overwrites any pre-existing content in this folder.
And that’s pretty much it. Other targets are fairly similar in structure.
