|
|---|
| 8 |
|
|---|
| 9 | <p>
|
|---|
| 10 | Converts files from native encodings to ASCII with escaped Unicode.
|
|---|
| 11 | A common usage is to convert source files maintained in a native
|
|---|
| 12 | operating system encoding, to ASCII prior to compilation.
|
|---|
| 13 | </p>
|
|---|
| 14 |
|
|---|
| 15 | <p>
|
|---|
| 16 | Files in the directory <em>src</em>
|
|---|
| 17 | are converted from a native encoding to ASCII.
|
|---|
| 18 | By default, all files in the directory are converted.
|
|---|
| 19 | However, conversion may be limited to selected files using
|
|---|
| 20 | <em>includes</em> and <em>excludes</em> attributes.
|
|---|
| 21 | For more information on file matching patterns,
|
|---|
| 22 | see the section on
|
|---|
| 23 | <a href="../dirtasks.html#directorybasedtasks">directory based tasks</a>.
|
|---|
| 24 | If no <em>encoding</em> is specified,
|
|---|
| 25 | the default encoding for the JVM is used.
|
|---|
| 26 | If <em>ext</em> is specified, then output files are renamed
|
|---|
| 27 | to use it as a new extension.
|
|---|
| 28 | More sophisticated file name translations can be achieved using a nested
|
|---|
| 29 | <em><code><mapper></code></em> element. By default an
|
|---|
| 30 | <a href="../CoreTypes/mapper.html#identity-mapper">identity mapper</a> will be used.
|
|---|
| 31 | If <em>dest</em> and <em>src</em> point to the same directory,
|
|---|
| 32 | the <em>ext</em> attribute or a nested <em><code><mapper></code></em>
|
|---|
| 33 | is required.
|
|---|
| 34 | </p>
|
|---|
| 35 |
|
|---|
| 36 | <p>
|
|---|
| 37 | This task forms an implicit <a href="../CoreTypes/fileset.html">File Set</a>,
|
|---|
| 38 | and supports all attributes of <code><fileset></code>
|
|---|
| 39 | (<code>dir</code> becomes <code>src</code>) as well as
|
|---|
| 40 | nested <code><include></code>, <code><exclude></code>,
|
|---|
| 41 | and <code><patternset></code> elements.
|
|---|
| 42 | </p>
|
|---|
| 43 |
|
|---|
| 44 | <p>It is possible to use different converters. This can be selected
|
|---|
| 45 | with the <code>implementation</code> attribute.
|
|---|
| 46 | <a name="implementationvalues">Here are the choices</a>:</p>
|
|---|
| 47 | <ul>
|
|---|
| 48 | <li>default - the default converter (kaffe or sun) for the platform.</li>

|---|
| 49 | <li>sun (the standard converter of the JDK)</li>
|
