RE: Request For Suggestions: -ignoreBlocks Ant Integration

Simon

I am not personally familiar with Ant.
Whichever method you feel works easiest with the various build tools is
okay with me.

I also don't see a problem with forcing START and End to not include a :
character.

Integration

About to put in support for -ignoreBlocks=3DSTART:END for the command =
line
interpreter.

The question is, how to integrate this with ant?

We could have an ignoreBlocks=3D"START:END" but that means horrible
escaping if you wanted a colon in the start. Maybe not so bad and it
does mean I can use the same code as for the command-line option *grin*.

Or ignoreBlocksStart=3D"START" ignoreBlocksEnd=3D"END" though I dislike
intensely the idea of having co-dependent options.

Or a sub-option like ALA Formatter:

	<ignoreBlocks start=3D"START" end=3D"END"/>

The nice thing about this is that we could eventually support multiple
blocks I suppose? In fact I guess the command-line could support
multiple blocks too. Though not in the next release ;-) And I'm possibly
inventing requirements here.

Cheers,

Simon
