Modifying the Component SDK build enhancements

The build.xml file in the root directory of each component created by the Component SDK contains properties that control whether to include the build enhancements.

By default, these properties are:

<property name="shared.libs" value="endeca-common-resources,endeca-discovery-taglib" />
<property name="endeca-common-resources.includes" value="**/*" />
<property name="endeca-common-resources.excludes" value="" />

The properties control the following behavior:

Property	Description
shared.libs	Controls which projects in the shared/ directory to include in your component. These shared projects are compiled and included as .jar files where appropriate.
endeca-common-resources.includes	Controls which files in the shared/endeca-common-resources project are copied into your component. The default value is "*/", indicating that all of the files are included, These files provide: AJAX enhancements (preRender.jspf and postRender.jspf) The ability to select a different data source for the component (dataSourceSelector.jspf)
endeca-common-resources.excludes	Controls which files from the shared/endeca-common-resources project are excluded from your component. By default, the value is "", indicating that no files are excluded. If your component needs to override any of these files, you must use this build property to exclude them. If you do not exclude them, your code will be overwritten.
