+ +============================================================================+
+ | valid strings for execon task's os attribute not specified |
+ +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+ | Bug #: 1656 Product: Ant |
+ | Status: NEW Version: 1.3 |
+ | Resolution: Platform: PC |
+ | Severity: Normal OS/Version: All |
+ | Priority: Component: Documentation |
+ +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+ | Assigned To: ant-dev@jakarta.apache.org |
+ | Reported By: Daniel.Barclay@digitalfocus.com |
+ | CC list: Cc: |
+ +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+ | URL: http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/manual/CoreTasks/execon.html |
+ +============================================================================+
+ | DESCRIPTION |
+ The documentation for the "os" attribute of the "execon" task does not
+ list or otherwise specify the actual string values that the user needs
+ to give to designate operating systems.
+
+ Note that the documentation doesn't even say how to determine the string
+ for the current operating system.
+
+
+ If the documentation does not list all values (e.g., because porting to
+ a new OS would make the documentation out of date), the documentation
+ should specify how to determine the string value for the current OS.
+
+ (Actually, it would still help if the documentation listed sample values,
+ or listed all values known at the time of writing of the documentation.)
+
+ If Ant has a standard property that reflects the name of the current OS,
+ and if possible values of that property are the strings to list in execon's
+ os attribute, then the execon.os documentation could refer the reader to
+ that property. (That would give the user a way to determine the required
+ string for any accessible operating system.)
