Could someone please explain something to me. I am trying to use ANT for the first time as it exists in the NetBeans 3.3.1 integrated environment (ANT 1.4.1?).
I am trying to use it to generate source from an ANTLR '.g' file using the ANTLR task. However it tells me "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: antlr/Tool". If I go to a shell and set my CLASSPATH to the antlr.jar file and run NetBeans from the shell, it works fine. However, I don't have to do this for anything else I am building because NetBeans seems to build the local CLASSPATH equivalent from the JDK directory + mounted filesystems. The ANTLR task within ANT (and ANT itself?) seems to ignore or not use any of the netbeans properties/paths. I have even built a jar file with ALL antlr classes and put it in the 'C:\netbeans-3.3.1\modules\patches\org-apache-tools-ant-module' directory. I even copied it to all the lib and ext directories. I just seems to ignore everything but the shell's CLASSPATH environment variable. I have also tried monkeying with some of the properties within the ANT project itself but with no luck. I may be doing it wrong also. How can I force the ANTLR task within ANT to use either the netbeans class path properties or change the classpath so that it will find antlr.jar so I don't have to change the default class path every time. I have seen references to using a JAVA task w/ fork and setting the classpath that way, but I would like to use the ANTLR task if it is possible. Can anyone enlighten me on how to do it?
