Hello,

I am new to the list

I am working on an open source initiative, where I have many css and javasc=
ripts to concatenate and compress in different builds. I use Ant and the Ya=
hoo YUI compressor to do it.
I would like to improve the process, but I can not find the right path doin=
g it with ant.

Below is the structure, I have a library directory divided into core, modul=
es and themes. Each directory contains a module or a theme that could have =
zero, one or more of the following: css, js, img, fonts=85

The theme directory contains a configuration file, where I specify all the =
css and js to be aggregated into to files style-min.css and script-min.js. =
All is working fine.

lib
- core
-- d4p
--- d4p.css
--- d4p.js
-- ajax
--- ajaxLoader.js
--- ajax.css
- modules
- themes

Now I would like to simplify the life of the developers having a configurat=
ion file per module/theme. The configuration will do an association file / =
action to perform for each file in the module

The new configuration file in the theme directory would allow the developer=
 to simply list the module he wants, like an import statement, then the fil=
es will follow.

The action, could be to append the content of a file to another for compres=
sion (like style.css), but also copy images/fonts to a central directory.

I tried to add xmlproperties files in each directory, for example <css loca=
tion=3D"my-file.css" /> but I am unable to use all the declared properties =
and use  them a fileset for example.

As anyone an idea of how to achieve this ? Was my explanation clear enough =
?

Regards

Bertrand=
