(2) -find and -buildfile are different, as you only need to give a filename to ! -find (like -find build.xml) and no path at all. ! ! ------- Additional Comments From Daniel.Barclay@digitalfocus.com 2001-05-08 12:21 ------- ! Regarding: ! Just place -find last on your command line and you don't need to specify the ! file name. ! ! Please reconsider this for future versions of Ant. ! ! Having to put a certain option last can get really irregular and inconvenient. ! You can't take an existing command line and simply add targets to build (e.g., ! you can't define a Unix shell alias like 'alias build="ant -verbose -find"). ! ! (I suppose always adding the default file name (using "-file build.xml") ! works around that problem, but that makes a simple option much longer. ! ! Can you consider using the syntax "-find=xxx.xml" (that is, "-find" activates ! the find feature with the default file name; "-find=x.xml" activates it and ! sets the file name for which to search)? ! ! That syntax lets options take optional arguments without requiring that ! some argument be provided to avoid consuming the next command-line token ! as the argument. !
