Field Detail

debug

protected int debug

Debug level for this task.

debugWasSet

protected boolean debugWasSet

Whether debug was previously setup. This is used so that local debug attributes are not overridden by the value of a debug attribute inherited from its parent.

In other words, you can specify a debug attribute in a parent element, and override it in a sub-element.

Constructor Detail

BaseDataType

public BaseDataType()

Method Detail

setGroup

public void setGroup(String group)

Sets the group that this task belongs to.

Specified by:

setGroup in interface Groupable

Parameters:

group - String id of an existing group.

setGroup

public void setGroup(Group group)

Sets the group that this task belongs to.

Specified by:

setGroup in interface Groupable

Parameters:

group - Group object to add this task to.

getGroup

public Group getGroup()

setDebug

public void setDebug(int debug)

Set the debug level.

Parameters:

debug - an int value

getDebug

public int getDebug()

Return the debug level.

Returns:

an int value

debug

public void debug(String message)

println

public void println(String message)

print

public void print(String message)

setRefid

public void setRefid(org.apache.tools.ant.types.Reference r)
              throws org.apache.tools.ant.BuildException

Makes this instance in effect a reference to another FileList instance.

You must not set another attribute or nest elements inside this element if you make it a reference.

Overrides:

setRefid in class org.apache.tools.ant.types.DataType

org.apache.tools.ant.BuildException

getRef

protected BaseDataType getRef(org.apache.tools.ant.Project p)

Assuming this BaseDataType is a reference to a real one (has a refid attr), this method will return the one this points to.

getDataTypeName

protected String getDataTypeName()

Sets the name used for this datatype instance. Used when printing an error message in #getRef(Project)
