Completed the app deployment tool (built as a Windows Presentation Foundation client application) which compiles and deploys (/uploads) an app based on an xml description of the different languages and platforms the app has been built for (where source code for the app can be found, where the app is to be deployed, and so on). Additionally, tool can change version number of app (by declaring the different places in the source code where the version number is specified) as well as change general lines of code and move files around prior to (and as part of) a compile/deploy action.
Technical note: the 'deployment' process is multi-threaded (hence the existence of 'configuration wrapper' classes as well as 'deploy instruction' classes). The 'compilation' process on the other hand is single-threaded.
Description of the two main deploy actions:
GroupAction - Uploads each of the files/directories specified individually from the source locations to the target location, clearing the target of all its contents prior to the upload if this option has been specified.
BuildAction - Builds the gadget/zip from the source files/directories specified (according to the platform the gadget is being built for), naming the build as specified, and then uploads the build to the target location, clearing the target of all its contents prior to the upload if this option has been specified.
Description of the two main compile actions:
AndroidCompileAction - Compiles the Android project found at the project location specified and then moves (and renames) the 'apk' file built from the project's 'bin' folder (which is cleared with each compilation) to the compile rename path specified.
GWTCompileAction - Compiles the GWT project found at the project location specified according to the class paths and modules specified.
Additional actions which can be specified within the above four main actions: ChangeVersionNumberInCode, ChangeLineInCode, CopyFileAction, CopyDirectoryContentsAction.
