Formatting XML files in eclipse - eclipse

When i try to format a xml file in eclipse it puts each of the fields on a new line. instead i want each property to be on one line. for e.g. now when i press CTRL+SHFT+F, eclipse formats it like this.
<hibernate-mapping package="com.server.entities">
<class
name="Branch"
table="Branch"
>
<meta attribute="sync-DAO">false</meta>
<id name="Id"
type="java.lang.Long"
column="id"
>
<generator class="native"/>
</id>
<property
name="Created"
column="created"
type="timestamp"
not-null="false"
length="23"
/>
<property
name="LastUpdated"
column="lastUpdated"
type="timestamp"
not-null="false"
length="23"
/>
<property
name="CreatedBy"
column="createdBy"
type="java.lang.Long"
not-null="false"
length="19"
/>
but what i want is
<hibernate-mapping package="com.kaizen.report.server.entities">
<class name="Branch" table="Branch">
<meta attribute="sync-DAO">false</meta>
<id name="Id" type="java.lang.Long" column="id">
<generator class="native"/>
</id>
<property name="Created" column="created" type="timestamp" not-null="false" length="23"/>

If you're using the XML Editor from eclipse.org, go tot he XML Editor preference page and change the options to allow much longer lines and to not split multiple attributes each onto new lines.

finding target worksheet for action in twb (xml) file

My intention is to find target worksheet for actions in tableau workbook. where should I search for that target worksheet correspond to some particular action in twb(xml) file?
For example:
<actions>
<action caption='Filter 1 (generated)' name='[Action1]'>
<activation auto-clear='true' type='on-select' />
<source dashboard='Figure 8-60 thought 8-65' type='sheet' worksheet='Heat Map' />
<command command='tsc:tsl-filter'>
<param name='special-fields' value='all' />
<param name='target' value='Figure 8-60 thought 8-65' />
</command>
</action>
<action caption='Filter 2 (generated)' name='[Action2]'>
<activation auto-clear='true' type='on-select' />
<source dashboard='Figure 8-59' type='sheet' worksheet='Poor Filter Design' />
<command command='tsc:tsl-filter'>
<param name='special-fields' value='all' />
<param name='target' value='Figure 8-59' />
</command>
</action>
<action caption='Filter 3 (generated)' name='[Action3]'>
<activation auto-clear='true' type='on-select' />
<source dashboard='Figure 8-59' type='sheet' worksheet='Good Filter Design' />
<command command='tsc:tsl-filter'>
<param name='special-fields' value='all' />
<param name='target' value='Figure 8-59' />
</command>
</action>
</actions>
As you can see above code filter1 action got a param tag inside that target attribute is present, but the value present there is a dashoard name. What i want is target woksheet corresponded to the action filter.
Tried to play a bit with .twb file and got this for dashboard actions:
<actions>
<action caption='Filter 1 (generated)' name='[Action1]'>
<activation auto-clear='true' type='on-select' />
<source dashboard='Dashboard 1' type='sheet' worksheet='Sheet 3' />
<command command='tsc:tsl-filter'>
<param name='special-fields' value='all' />
<param name='target' value='Dashboard 1' />
</command>
</action>
<action caption='Filter 2 (generated)' name='[Action2]'>
<activation auto-clear='true' type='on-select' />
<source dashboard='Dashboard 2' type='sheet' worksheet='Sheet 2' />
<command command='tsc:tsl-filter'>
<param name='special-fields' value='all' />
<param name='target' value='Dashboard 2' />
</command>
</action>
<action caption='Filter 3 (generated)' name='[Action3]'>
<activation auto-clear='true' type='on-select' />
<source dashboard='Dashboard 2' type='sheet' worksheet='Sheet 3' />
<command command='tsc:tsl-filter'>
<param name='special-fields' value='all' />
<param name='target' value='Dashboard 2' />
</command>
</action>
</actions>
Honestly I couldn't find any direct link to the target sheet while source sheet is always available in actions, This can be observed in Actions window.
But I was able to see the actions that were mapped to target sheets if we go to the individual sheet actions instead of dashboard actions where we can see target as dashboard.
See below data where I have created a dummy dashboard to check actions.
These are the actions that created in report:
<group caption='Action (Product Category)' hidden='true' name='[Action (Product Category)]' name-style='unqualified' user:auto-column='sheet_link'>
<groupfilter function='crossjoin'>
<groupfilter function='level-members' level='[Product Category]' />
</groupfilter>
</group>
<group caption='Action (Product Sub-Category)' hidden='true' name='[Action (Product Sub-Category)]' name-style='unqualified' user:auto-column='sheet_link'>
<groupfilter function='crossjoin'>
<groupfilter function='level-members' level='[Product Sub-Category]' />
</groupfilter>
</group>
Along with this if we go to individual sheets then we can see the actions mapped first one is for Sheet 2 and other is for Sheet 3:
<filter class='categorical' column='[federated.0idnrl40bk56fg130xiy30dnljux].[Action (Product Category)]'>
<groupfilter function='level-members' level='[Product Category]' user:ui-enumeration='all' user:ui-marker='enumerate' />
</filter>
<slices>
<column>[federated.0idnrl40bk56fg130xiy30dnljux].[Action (Product Category)]</column>
</slices>
<filter class='categorical' column='[federated.0idnrl40bk56fg130xiy30dnljux].[Action (Product Sub-Category)]'>
<groupfilter function='level-members' level='[Product Sub-Category]' user:ui-enumeration='all' user:ui-marker='enumerate' />
</filter>
<slices>
<column>[federated.0idnrl40bk56fg130xiy30dnljux].[Action (Product Sub-Category)]</column>
</slices>
If we keep track of actions that were created in dashboards then we can easily tell what all sheets are joined in a dashboard using the name of the actions.
Would like to know your thoughts and observations aswell.
Changing the names of the actions
Going into the .twb XML and changing the order of the <> blocks.
Going into the .twb XML and changing the internal Action1, Action2, etc. names. Doing this I'm able to change which of Dashboard 2 and Dashboard 3 is opened.
adding a Web Page object to Dashboard 1 and then a URL action using about:blank as the target, on the idea that maybe URL actions take precedence over filter actions.

How do I check if a file contains a string (using Nant)?

At the moment I'm calling findstr and storing the output in a property to check afterwards - I'm sure there must be a better solution.
<exec program="findstr.exe"
workingdir="${workspaceDir}"
commandline='/i /c:"someText" ${fileName}'
failonerror="false"
output="${coverageExcludeLog}"
resultproperty="foundFile"
/>
Is this really the best way of doing this?
<loadfile file="${fileName}" property="MyFileContents" />
<property name="Mystring" value="someText" />
<property name="search.file" value="${string::contains(MyFileContents, Mystring)}" />
<if test="${bool::parse(search.file)}" > <!-- true or false-->
<echo message="Found the string ${Mystring} in the file ${fileName}" />
</if>

Default components in install4j

When my "installation components" screen runs (I'm in console mode, if it matters), I get the list of components to install, as expected. However, the "default" response is to accept 2 of the components, even though their "Initially Selected for installation" option is false.
I want the user to be able to NOT select any of the optional components, and this isn't possible when it's defaulting to have some of them "Selected".
As far as I can tell, there are no varfiles being loaded.
Snippet from my install4j file:
<component name="A" id="527" customizedId="a" displayDescription="false" hideHelpButton="false" selected="false" changeable="true" downloadable="false" hidden="false">
<description />
<include all="false">
<entry location=".i4j_external_314/a" fileType="regular" />
<entry location=".i4j_external_2366/a" fileType="regular" />
<entry location=".i4j_external_316/a" fileType="regular" />
<entry location=".i4j_external_8155/a" fileType="regular" />
<entry location=".i4j_external_318/a" fileType="regular" />
</include>
<dependencies />
</component>
<component name="B" id="528" customizedId="b" displayDescription="false" hideHelpButton="false" selected="false" changeable="true" downloadable="false" hidden="false">
<description />
<include all="false">
<entry location=".i4j_external_316/b" fileType="regular" />
<entry location=".i4j_external_8155/b" fileType="regular" />
<entry location=".i4j_external_318/b" fileType="regular" />
</include>
<dependencies />
</component>
<component name="C" id="69" customizedId="c" displayDescription="false" hideHelpButton="false" selected="false" changeable="true" downloadable="false" hidden="false">
<description />
<include all="false">
<entry location=".i4j_external_316/c" fileType="regular" />
<entry location=".i4j_external_8155/c" fileType="regular" />
<entry location=".i4j_external_318/c" fileType="regular" />
</include>
<dependencies />
Notice that in all 3 components, "selected" is false, and "changeable" is true.
When the installer runs, though, here is how it is presented:
Which components should be installed?
*: D
*: E
1: A
2: B
3: C
Please enter a comma-separated list of the selected values or [Enter] for the default selection:
[1,2]
(D and E are fine - they're set to "selected" and "not user changeable")
So, even though A and B are not "selected", they show up as a default. Also notice that "C" is configured the same way as "A" and "B", yet doesn't show up in the default.
This is problematic, because I have no way to select "none" of the optional components. I have to select at least 1 in order to not accept the default.
Thanks for any info - if you need more detail, I'd be happy to provide it.

Use version qualifier replacement in buckminster

In my cspex I have action that creates product
<public name="create.product" actor="ant">
<actorProperties>
<property key="buildFile" value="build/product.ant" />
<property key="targets" value="create.product" />
</actorProperties>
<properties>
<property key="profile" value="iitProfile" />
<property key="iu" value="iit.product" />
</properties>
<prerequisites alias="repository">
<attribute name="site.p2" />
</prerequisites>
<products alias="destination" base="${buckminster.output}">
<path path="product.${target.ws}.${target.os}.${target.arch}/" />
</products>
</public>
When the final product is being build, folder created looks like this product.${target.ws}.${target.os}.${target.arch}. How can I append qualifier replacement that I set via qualifier.replacement property? I thought I could do something like product.${target.ws}.${target.os}.${target.arch}_{qualifier.replacement} where qualifier.replacement is the property that was set during execution of buckminster.versionQualifier.
I know when I execute action site.p2.zip qualifier replacement is being appended to the name of the file, so how can I use this in my other actions? Do I have execute buckminster.versionQualifier task myself?
thanks!

nant: expanding properties in a string

Summary:
How do I expand a property with value "download\${bulidmode}\project\setup.msi" to "download\Debug\project\setup.msi" if the property buildmode contained debug so I can use it as the file="" part of < copy >
Detail:
I have a bit of a requirement to be able to expand properties within a string in nant.
For example I have a target that is copying file A to B. A and B both come from a simple two field CSV file which I'm iterating through using
<foreach item="Line" in="filelist.csv" delim="," property="source.file,target.file">
<property name="sourcefile" value="${path::combine(source.dir,source)}" />
<property name="targetfile" value="${path::combine(download.dir,destination)}" />
<echo message="Copy ${sourcefile} to ${targetfile}" />
<copy file="${sourcefile" tofile="${destination}" />
</foreach>
and the filelist.csv will be
build\manifest.xml
solutiondirectory\setup-proj-directory\Release\setupproj.msi,ProductA\ProductA.msi
solutiondirectory\another-proj-dir\Release\setupproj.msi,ProductB\ProductB.msi
(The reason we split these out is that we write multi-tiered applications and deploy by MSI to each tier - so one product has multiple msi's all built with the same version numbers)
Anyway - I want to change this to that I no longer have "Release" in the filelist.csv file but something like ${build.mode}. I would wrap the above code with a
<foreach item="String" in="Release,Debug" delim="," property="build.mode">
....as above
</foreach>
and the property embedded within the string in the file gets expanded.
I've been beating my head against a brick wall for a few hours, but just can't figure it out.
Thanks
It is possible with a custom function :
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project>
<script language="C#" prefix="vbfox" >
<code>
<![CDATA[
[Function("expand")]
public string ExpandString(string str)
{
return Project.Properties.ExpandProperties(str, Location.UnknownLocation);
}
]]>
</code>
</script>
<property name="hello" value="{path::combine('_hello_', '_world_')}" />
<property name="hello" value="${'$' + hello}" />
<echo message="${hello}" />
<echo message="${vbfox::expand(hello)}" />
</project>
