Hi all,
I'm not confirming yet to be release manager, but I'm preparing a
build environment with all libs etc - so I'm edging my hat into the ring
you need the libs for all the optional tasks described in the section
"installing ant" of the manual.
I have all the latest libs as described in this section, but I still
can't get a completely clean compile of the following (from within
eclipse)
org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.XalanLiason
org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.junit.Xalan1Executor
packages:
org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.ejb
org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.starteam
org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.scm
the way to check that you have all the libs is to make a full build
and
check that all the ant-* jar files have built and are not manifest
only.
the only lib which belongs to a product without an open source license
is weblogic.
Which tasks require this weblogic.jar? I'm getting quite a clean
build here without it and I can't see where it's required.
I can help you regarding this one if you like.
Concerning the system, any operating system is good.
Well my main (currently only personal) machine is an ageing G4
powerbook - OSX 10.4 with Java5 (apple supplied, also have JDK1.3/1.4
available). I have a nice OpenBSD3.9 box in the office here and
obviously I have access to WindowsXP sp2 machines too, so I can
potentially test a build on 3 envs, although realistically I'd only
build it under my main machine as the others are not setup as dev boxes.
I built Ant 1.6 under Windows 2000 with a Sun JDK 1.4, all in one go.
It looks like that Ant 1.7 has classes which require to be built under
JDK 1.5.
Well I can certainly build a test release on my main machine if I can
get all the required jars - my plan is to create a release-test build/
dist today and upload to my apache space if all goes well.
Thanks for the info so far
Kev
