Constructor Detail

### ForTask

    public ForTask()

  Creates a new `For` instance.

Method Detail

### setParallel

    public void setParallel(boolean parallel)

  Attribute whether to execute the loop in parallel or in sequence.

  Parameters:
    `parallel` - if true execute the tasks in parallel. Default is false.

### setThreadCount

    public void setThreadCount(int threadCount)

  Set the maximum amount of threads we're going to allow to execute in parallel

  Parameters:
    `threadCount` - the number of threads to use

### setTrim

    public void setTrim(boolean trim)

  Set the trim attribute.

  Parameters:
    `trim` - if true, trim the value for each iterator.

### setKeepgoing

    public void setKeepgoing(boolean keepgoing)

  Set the keepgoing attribute, indicating whether we should stop on errors or continue heedlessly onward.

  Parameters:
    `keepgoing` - a boolean, if `true` then we act in the keepgoing manner described.

### setList

    public void setList(java.lang.String list)

  Set the list attribute.

  Parameters:
    `list` - a list of delimiter separated tokens.

### setDelimiter

    public void setDelimiter(java.lang.String delimiter)

  Set the delimiter attribute.

  Parameters:
    `delimiter` - the delimiter used to separate the tokens in the list attribute. The default is ",".

### setParam

    public void setParam(java.lang.String param)

  Set the param attribute. This is the name of the macrodef attribute that gets set for each iterator of the sequential element.

  Parameters:
    `param` - the name of the macrodef attribute.

### addConfigured

    public void addConfigured(org.apache.tools.ant.types.Path path)

  This is a path that can be used instread of the list attribute to interate over. If this is set, each path element in the path is used for an interator of the sequential element.

  Parameters:
    `path` - the path to be set by the ant script.

### addConfiguredPath

    public void addConfiguredPath(org.apache.tools.ant.types.Path path)

  This is a path that can be used instread of the list attribute to interate over. If this is set, each path element in the path is used for an interator of the sequential element.

  Parameters:
    `path` - the path to be set by the ant script.

### createSequential

    public java.lang.Object createSequential()

  Returns:
    a MacroDef#NestedSequential object to be configured

### setBegin

    public void setBegin(int begin)

  Set begin attribute.

  Parameters:
    `begin` - the value to use.

### setEnd

    public void setEnd(java.lang.Integer end)

  Set end attribute.

  Parameters:
    `end` - the value to use.

### setStep

    public void setStep(int step)

  Set step attribute.

### execute

    public void execute()

  Run the for task. This checks the attributes and nested elements, and if there are ok, it calls doTheTasks() which constructes a macrodef task and a for each interation a macrodef instance.

  Overrides:
    `execute` in class `org.apache.tools.ant.Task`

### add

    public void add(java.util.Map map)

  Add a Map, iterate over the values

  Parameters:
    `map` - a Map object - iterate over the values.

### add

    public void add(org.apache.tools.ant.types.FileSet fileset)

  Add a fileset to be iterated over.

  Parameters:
    `fileset` - a `FileSet` value

### addFileSet

    public void addFileSet(org.apache.tools.ant.types.FileSet fileset)

  Add a fileset to be iterated over.

  Parameters:
    `fileset` - a `FileSet` value

### add

    public void add(org.apache.tools.ant.types.DirSet dirset)

  Add a dirset to be iterated over.

  Parameters:
    `dirset` - a `DirSet` value

### addDirSet

    public void addDirSet(org.apache.tools.ant.types.DirSet dirset)

  Add a dirset to be iterated over.

  Parameters:
    `dirset` - a `DirSet` value

### add

    public void add(java.util.Collection collection)

  Add a collection that can be iterated over.

  Parameters:
    `collection` - a `Collection` value.

### add

    public void add(java.util.Iterator iterator)

  Add an iterator to be iterated over.

  Parameters:
    `iterator` - an `Iterator` value

### add

    public void add(java.lang.Object obj)

  Add an object that has an Iterator iterator() method that can be iterated over.

  Parameters:
    `obj` - An object that can be iterated over.
