Splitting Phing build file

Question

I've got a huge phing build file here. Is there a way to put things like filesets into an external file used by the build.xml? Just need some organisation here.

Answer 1

You can try using the import task, which lets you split a build file into multiple files. You can also look into property files

FileLists also support a listfile property which is a text file with one file per line.

FileSets support the includesfile and excludesfile property which is a text file with a list of patterns.
