http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23541 Enhance error messages of taskdef to say what really is not found... ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-10-13 15:03 ------- o.k. Thanks to Stefan, I figured that my class-path went too close to the real file. Therefore, my suggestion alter the current error message as follows to prevent "classpath-conventions-ignorants" like myself from endless trials: Current: <<C:\data\MyDocRalf\bin\Java\jars\eclipse\workspace\privaLope\build.xml:76: taskdef class net.sf.cglib.transform.DumpFieldsTask cannot be found>> Suggestions: 1)<<Could not find Class net.sf.cglib.transform.DumpFieldsTask.class in C:\data\MyProj\WEB-INF\classes\net\sf\cglib\transform (the "." in the classname will converted into path delimiters as per your platform.)" 2) debug case: Current: <<Finding class net.sf.cglib.transform.DumpFieldsTask>> Suggestion: as per my http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/showattachment.cgi?attach_id=8534 <<C:\data\MyProj\WEB-INF\classes\net\sf\cglib\transform (the "." in the classname will converted into path delimiters as per your platform. - did you specify a path that is too deep? - did you put the directory of a jar file into the path instead of the jar itself? see also http://ant.apache.org/manual/using.html#path>> Perhaps, it would also be useful to: 3) enhance http://ant.apache.org/manual/using.html#path with a reference to the official java classpath conventions 4) or mention the important parts of the classpath convention there --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
