Ant Script Library: asl-release.xml
Overview
asl-release.xml contains properties and targets that can be
used as a procedure to create a versioned releasable artifact from a software
configuration management (SCM) system.
This is a generic release module, and it doesn't explicitly import any SCM modules. All it requires is that one of the existing SCM modules (or a new module that supports a specific set of macros).
In this module, running the release target performs the
following steps:
- Tags the code in the SCM system
- Exports the code from the SCM system into a clean workspace
- Compiles the code in the clean workspace
- Creates a package for release

This is an empty target, that contains dependencies upon the other targets in the following order: release-tag, release-compile, release-package.
release-tag
Tags the code in the SCM system.
release-export
Exports the code from the SCM system to a clean release workspace
release-compile
Compiles the code in the release workspace
release-package
Packages the code in the release workspace.
