Steve Swinsburg commented on DS-1391:
-------------------------------------
Correction, I meant that if you set -Doverwrite=true (which is the default),
then that target still runs even though its not meant to.
In any case, Ant 1.8+ is required.
> build should check for and require Ant 1.8+

> Key: DS-1391
> URL: https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-1391
> Project: DSpace
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Steve Swinsburg
>
> There is a check in the build.xml for whether or not to overwrite configs
> (see the unless attribute):
> <target name="copy_configs_keep" unless="${overwrite}"
> depends="prepare_configs">
> The problem is, property expansion was only added in Ant 1.8. Previously it
> only accepted property names, and if they were set or not set, to any value.
> So using Ant 1.7.1 on DSpace 1.8 or higher causes those targets to always be
> executed, even if overwrite=false.
> The reason we are using Ant 1.7.1 is due to other projects requiring it, so
> we didn't think to upgrade.
> What would be good (and IMO required to fix this problem) is for the
> build.xml to check the version of Ant and fail the build if using a version
> of Ant < 1.8, since that version is required for the build to function as
> expected.
> This is as simple as a target that runs before all others to check the Ant
> version string. I can send a pull request for this if this functionality is
> desired.
