First thing I would suggest is to: 1) Get rid of the "includes" attribute since the <javac> task is smart enough to know to pick up *.java -- or, 2) Set the "includes" and "excludes" attributes as follows:
.... includes="**/${build.includedFiles}" excludes="**/${build.excludedFiles}" I'd also suggest (but not certain that it's even the problem) to use "*.java" instead of "**.java". I believe one asterisk is enough to specify the pattern match 'everything with a .java extension'. -----Original Message----- From: Scott Ellsworth [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, February 05, 2002 4:58 PM To: Ant List Subject: Any way to echo a fileset? Hi, all. I am trying to figure out why none of my files are getting compiled in one of my projects. I presume it is something very easy, but that I am not seeing it because I have been staring at it all day. If I could find out exactly what path on the filesystem it was looking at, I might be able to spot it. I have provided below the grungy details of what I cannot find, so if someone does see an obvious boo-boo, I would really appreciate a pointer. I recently reorganized the world into: build standardProperties.properties standardTargets.targets node_model build.xml source org metagraph node model Action.java For the next few tasks, the following defines have been read. build.basedir=ant_build compile.source=source compile.classes=${build.basedir}/classes compile.classpath="" build.includedFiles="**.java" build.excludedFiles="" My depend task contains: <mkdir dir="${compile.classes}"/> My javac task is: <target name="compile"> <echo message="building ${compile.source} with ${build.includedFiles}"/> <echo message="building ${build.includedFiles}"/> <javac srcdir="${compile.source}" destdir="${compile.classes}" classpath="${compile.classpath}" excludes="${build.excludedFiles}" includes="${build.includedFiles}" verbose="true" /> </target> In my output, I see: Project base dir set to: /Users/work/Documents/coding/isis/source/node_model parsing buildfile /Users/work/Documents/coding/isis/source/node_model/build.xml with URI = file:/Users/work/Documents/coding/isis/source/node_model/build.xml Override ignored for user property basedir Project base dir set to: /Users/work/Documents/coding/isis/source/node_model (NB - this base dir is correct - I want the build based out of node_model) [property] Loading /Users/work/Documents/coding/isis/source/build/standardProperties.properties resolving systemId: file:../build/standardTargets.xml (NB - This file is, indeed, in ../build, so it looks like am I based in node_model just like it says.) depend: [mkdir] Created dir: /Users/work/Documents/coding/isis/source/node_model/ant_build/classes (NB - from the depend task, we now know that ${compile.classes} is node_model/ant_build/classes ) compile: [echo] building source with **.java (NB - this is from "building ${compile.source} with ${build.includedFiles}", so we see that it should be looking for **.java files in source. Given that the basedir is stuff/node_model, the source should be sought in stuff/node_model/source.) [echo] building **.java (NB - this one is from "building ${build.includedFiles}") And that is it. No other messages from javac, and no other information. Also, no class files found in the output. From the shell: ls /Users/work/Documents/coding/isis/source/node_model/source/org/metagraph/nod e/ model Action.java So, if it is looking in node_model/source for my source, it will find org, and under org, it will find Action.java. Why is it not compiling?
