Stefan,
Thanks for the comments.
I am also getting the NPE. Apologies for not mentioning that earlier.
And I have tried using the file you provided and after doing the
replacement, the bootstrap and retrying the build the result is pretty much
the same, as shown below.
The build.xml is:
<apply executable="C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VB98\vb6.exe"
parallel="false">
<arg value="/m" />
<srcfile />
<fileset dir="c:\temp\buildname\test\src\Registry">
<patternset>
<include name="*.vbp" />
</patternset>
</fileset>
<arg value="/out" />
<arg value="c:\temp\buildname\errors.txt" />
<arg value="/outdir" />
<arg value="c:\temp\buildname\test\bin" />
</apply>
The output (full this time) is:
D:\>ant -buildfile c:\ant\test\test3.xml main -verbose
Ant version 1.4Beta2 compiled on August 20 2001

What you are trying to do is how it is supposed to work, nothing wrong
on your side. I don't have a Windows box around, so I've run the
following test on Linux:
<project default="apply">
<target name="apply">
<apply executable="echo" parallel="false">
<arg value="1" />
<fileset dir="." includes="*.xml" />
<srcfile />
<arg value="2" />
</apply>
</target>
</project>
and it works as expected:
bodewig@bodewig ~/jakarta/jakarta-ant >ant -f /tmp/apply.xml
Buildfile: /tmp/apply.xml
apply:
[apply] 1 /tmp/apply.xml 2
[apply] 1 /tmp/meins.xml 2
[apply] 1 /tmp/deldummy.xml 2
BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 2 seconds
*after* I fixed ExecuteOn to not lose the arguments after the
<srcfile/>. Before my commit of a few minutes ago, the example above
would die with a NullPointerException. So I'm more than a little bit
puzzled by your result, you should have gotten the NPE as well.
Could you please pick up the source release of 1.4beta2, replace
ExecuteOn.java with this one
<http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs/~checkout~/jakarta-ant/src/main/org/apache/to
ols/ant/taskdefs/ExecuteOn.java?rev=1.14.2.1&content-type=text/plain>,
bootstrap a new version of Ant with bootstrap.bat and rerun your build
file to see whether the problem persists?
Thanks
Stefan
