[dsdp-mtj-dev] Question About export Antenna build file

[Feng.Wang@xxxxxxxxxx]

Hi Craig,

I am now doing some enhancement about Antenna build files export functionality, to make it can build for multi-target.
I have some question about the old version of the feature. I wonder if you still remember the detail of the implementation and can give me some technical support.

My question is:
1.        About "-mtj-initialize" task in mtj-build.xml file. What is the purpose to make following folder? May I just make that folder without other consideration?

<mkdir dir="${path.build.classes}/_no_export"/>
2.        Class AntennaBuildExporter$BuildClasspathEntryVisitor is quite complex. Can I say that the purposes of this class are:

1, make up the <path> element in mtj-build.xml like this:
   <path id="classpath.Wang_Feng_Test">
      <path location="${path.build.classes}"/>
      <path location="${path.build.classes}/_no_export"/>
      <path location="${project.root.Wang_Feng_Test}/lib/svg.jar"/>
   </path>
   <path id="classpath.MyMidletProject">
      <path location="${path.build.classes}"/>
      <path location="${path.build.classes}/_no_export"/>

   </path>
2, make up the srcdir attribute in <wtkbuild> task, like this:
   <target depends="-mtj-initialize" name="-mtj-build">
      <echo message="Building source files..."/>
      <wtkbuild destdir="${path.build.classes}" encoding="${src.encoding}" source="1.3" sourcepath="" srcdir="${project.root.Wang_Feng_Test}/res">
         <classpath refid="classpath.Wang_Feng_Test"/>
      </wtkbuild>
      <wtkbuild destdir="${path.build.classes}" encoding="${src.encoding}" source="1.3" sourcepath="" srcdir="${project.root.Wang_Feng_Test}/src">
         <classpath refid="classpath.Wang_Feng_Test"/>
      </wtkbuild>

   </target>
3.        BTW, I find that if a project refer another project, the exported build files will fail to build, end with an error say that cannot find a class. I guess it will be hard for an exported ant build file to solve this problem, because the exported Ant build files may have to contain targets that build all the projects in a certain sequence, the sequence is not easy to determine.
