Adding New Feedback Tools
Any tool that you can invoke from Ant, either as a task or as an executable, is a potential feedback tool to add to Glean. The framework it sits within is simple, and getting a basic running script is usually a short order.
To add a new tool to Glean:
- Create a folder under
glean/toolwith the name of the tool. - Copy the
glean/template/build.xmlfile to this folder. - Edit the
build.xmlaccording to the comments to add the pieces specific to the new tool. - Test it out by including it in the
tool.patternproperty for one of your projects
That's all there is to it. By placing the build script and folder in the right place, Glean can find it and run it.
If you think the script you create would be valuable to others as well, please consider passing it along and I will include it in the next release of Glean.
