http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16867 Ant + Windows = Ant doesn't work and is incompatible because WIndows command line sucks and ANt developers didn't take that into account Summary: Ant + Windows = Ant doesn't work and is incompatible because WIndows command line sucks and ANt developers didn't take that into account Product: Ant Version: 1.5.1 Platform: PC OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Blocker Priority: Other Component: Build Process AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I guess Ant doesn't work in Windows Millenium, because when I pull up a command prompt and try to run ant, it scrolls by a bunch of crap which is basically standard error output. Because it's Windows, command prompt doesn't have a scroll bar. Because it's standard error, I can't redirect the output to a file. Because -logfile doesn't print standard error, I can't use command line switches to save the output. Basically, unless Ant produces less than like 20 lines of output, or unless it starts printing output to standard output, or unless I find an alternative to dos command prompt that isn't a piece of shit, I can't use Ant on Windows. And I'm pissed because I just wasted 2 hours trying to find a way around this, searching google groups, downloading command prompt alternatives, and nothing f***ing works. You guys should really consider redoing the output of Ant so that it works under Windows if you want Windows users to use it, because not everyone has the latest and greatest windows with scrollbar support in command prompt. Windows f***ing sucks and if it wasn't for the project's need to work on Windows, I would have ditched it a long time ago. I can't believe how rediculous this is, a program that prints output that you can't read. Sorry for my frustration but it really, really, really really really pisses me off..
