| valid characters for target names | valid characters for target names 2005-06-09 - By ralapa@(protected)
Hi,
Could someone please clarify what is a valid characters for
a target name?
I have been using spaces in the target names, e.g. "install server",
because it is more readable, and since I only invoke ant through
my IDE (IntelliJ) I don't care that spaces make it harder to use on
the commandline.
But I was reading the ant manual, and it seemed to say that the
target names should only be alphanumeric. That seems extreme
to me. Does that mean you can't use space, hypen, or underscore?
Thanks,
-Alex
"A target name can be any alphanumeric string valid in the encoding of the XML
file. The empty string "" is in this set, as is comma "," and space " ". Please
avoid using these, as they will not be supported in future Ant versions because
of all the confusion they cause. IDE support of unusual target names, or any
target name containing spaces, varies with the IDE."
