Eclipse CRLF and File Encoding

Jul 21, 2011

If you are sharing a project which would be edited both in Windows and Unix systems, then its best to set the New text file line delimiter settings for eclipse to Unix. To do this Open Eclipse preferences from Windows->Preferences. Navigate to General -> Workspace and then for the “New text file line delimiter” choose radio button “Other” and from the list select “Unix”. Also since eclipse by default is not using file encoding UTF-8, its best to set that also while you are doing this. Under “Text file encoding” choose radio button “Other” and from the list select “UTF-8”.

Apache Ant target execute based on condition

Jul 21, 2011

To execute an Ant target based on condition, use the “if” attribute of the target,

if the module-A-present property is set (to any value, e.g. false), the target will be run.

http://ant.apache.org/manual/targets.html#targets

As of Ant 1.8.0, you may instead use property expansion; a value of true (or on or yes) will enable the item, while false (or off or no) will disable it. Other values are still assumed to be property names and so the item is enabled only if the named property is defined.
