Just to expand a bit on Diane's explanation. On Unix systems, the shell is
responsible for wildcard expansion, not the individual commands. when you
pass "*" in Ant, the shell is not involved and the command receives the "*"
char directly rather than a list of files.

Get rid of the "*" -- you don't need it, since 'ls -l' will list
everything anyway, and including an asterisk in the command line doesn't
work unless you exec 'sh' instead of 'ls'.

Hi,

I am trying to execute a command line task via ant and somehow it didn't

This is a degenerate case - I use the same targets for several builds, 
and some do more with their includes/excludes.  For example, other build 
files have includes="org/metagraph/model/*.java" or a list of included 
files to be fed to javac.

Since you have reminded me, though, I am likely going to make my compile 
target a fall-through if nothing is included or excluded for just this 
reason.  Why should it bother hitting the filesystem at all if nothing 
is going to be done?

This was it.  Making the include **/*.java solved it completely.

The sad thing?  I used the same construct in ten different build files, 
so it looked like something far more subtle.  Nothing would build, and I 
could not figure out why.

Ah well - in the mean time, I solved a number of other inconsistencies, 
and got rid of four needless build properties.

Thanks again,

RE: Any way to echo a fileset?

[Eddie Bernard]

First thing I would suggest is to:

1) Get rid of the "includes" attribute since the  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'.

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:

 

My javac task is:


   
   
   


In my output, I see:

(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

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?

No, does not seem so. But it happens for example if there is a file which is
not read-only (should not be the case, because you said you are doing a "get
to an empty directory structure").

No messages from VSS? Something that sound like a warnings, info, ...

Regrettable, my original copy-setup task was written as:


   
   
   


which sets the property copy.needed only if src and compile.src were the 
same.  This is exactly the case where we do NOT want such a beast set.

Thus, Stefan was right in the original letter, and this should either be 
wrapped with a not tag:


   
 
   
 
   


and the copy target used as written, or the copy-setup target should not 
be changed, but the property should be named "copy.superfluous", and the 
copy target should be written



   


In other words, the assumption

> Assuming my copy-setup target properly does not set it for projects in

was exactly backwards.

Thanks for the warning - I would not have been happy hunting through my 
empty directories for my source ;-) .

very minor issue.

[Jeffrey Jensen]

I noticed behavior that seems incorrect with fail, however in a very
minor way (I leave it to the experts to determine and change!):


 
works as advertised - displays ":: No
message".



works as advertised - displays ":: The fail
message".



  The fail message.

basically works as advertized, but with a twist: because "message=" has
no value, the word null displays in its place - displays:
:: null
  The fail message.



  The fail message.

works as advertised and prevents display of the null word.


Again this is very minor.  I mention it because those with less
expertise are thrown by the null word in the error message (a Red
Herring!  and it was an accidental pun!).


Thanks for an awesome product!!

Well if the problem is not related to Ant, then you may have better luck

One simple way would be to put the dtd's on a local (internal) web

Yes, I understand that. But once the application is deployed, ant is no
longer involved. Ant at that point, if *I* don't have an Internet connection
to Sun's site and to BEA's site, the applications don't start. At least on
my site. I was just wondering if others have found this and what they do to

Does anyone know how I can get Antidote?  I played with this tool a bit 
back in 1.3, but it seems to have disappeared from the Ant source tree. 
  The CVS logs suggest to me that it's a separate project, but it 
doesn't show up anywhere else on the jakarta site.  Perhaps it's 
unstable enough that the development team doesn't want to risk people 
corrupting their buildfiles with it. (?)  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Re: test environment variable and if statement

[Erik Hatcher]

Ant carries around two collections of properties.

Properties from -D/-propertyfile are immutable (even moreso than they should
be in the  case, I think).  For some reason these are called "user"
properties (I guess because the user set them specifically).

Properties set with  are mostly immutable, but can be overridden
using an  backdoor (and I believe ), and also with
/.  These are just regular propeties, no special name for this
class of them.

I may have misspoke this somewhat as I have to continuously refresh my
memory on the caveats of the immutability since I've refused to ingrain such
confusing things into memory!  :)   Corrections to this are more than
welcome.

The help (MS VSS help) is not very good at this point. All it says is that

"100 : Something went wrong. For example, VSS could not find its data files,
or a file you want to check out is already checked out. "

Is anything mentioned here is true in your case?

If I remember correctly I had the same problem a while ago, you 
specify the messageFile but it's not attached.  It's not a bug 
(I think ;) ).

This is what I found solves it, and as an added bonus you can use 
it to attached the build.xml, junit.xml results (if ever needed) 
and also attach the build.log along with other files.








The important bit is the  to include the file that you want 
to be the messageFile.

Hope that sorts things out, if not, drop a message to the list and 
I'll see if I can recreate the problem.

Andy.

What do you actually want it to do? If you want to create a zip file which
contains all the files specified, you need to use the zip task rather than
the copy task.

Yes. Don't do it that way. If you're using 'tofile', you need to specify a
single file to copy from.

Can someone who knows the innards of ejbjar...

[lduperval]

...tell me what part of the task produces this error message:

 Could not resolve ( publicId: -//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Enterprise JavaBeans 
2.0//EN, systemId: http://java.sun.com/dtd/ejb-jar_2_0.dtd) to a local entity

I'm trying to debug the problem where the ejbjar task doesn't find the DTD
for some of the tasks. Is it produced by something internal to ant? The
reason I'm asking is that I'm trying to pinpoint the exact cause of the
problem with the folks at BEA. What they've told me is to compile the
examples they have and to see if it causes the same problem, which it
doesn't. There are two differences between the examples and our stuff: in
the examples, they use a custom  task while we use . ALso,
they use weblogic.ejbc instead of ejbc20. The seccond difference, though,
doesn't seem to affect anything.

I would also like to know, for those who have found it necessary to use the
 option in the : did you need to change the SYSTEM id of the
DOCTYPE declaration? We've found that even if we add the  option, if we
don't have an Internet connection, our applications will not start.

Thanks,

No, that won't do it.  I'm not sure what the simplest task is to look at
that takes this construct, but there are many so just dig into Ant's

that'd be no fun!  (but then I'd have to go dig it up and cut and paste it

Not particularly. i'm used to make constructs like this:

Yeah, we've found the hard way that we have to reference jars by name, due to 
different versions used in different products :/.

Thanks very much for your tips! i think i can take it from there! i was 
overcomplicating the whole matter, still thinking in terms of one makefile 
per subdir.

see ya!

Are you looking to actually replace all your makefiles with Ant build.xml
files? Unless you have some weird complicated build process (like I did,
and yes, I did automate the buildfile-creation first-pass, but it was just

that, and it's not really the usual Ant approach, which tends more toward
a single top-level buildfile, using wildcards and filesets.

you're wrong :)

you just need all your classes in a directory tree which matches your app,
say de.einsurance.myproject.{model,view,controller}

point ant at the tree and all your files get dealt with automatically.
Unless you really want to list every file by name.

Same for classpath import, "*.jar" adds all jar files in a directory to the
classpath, which is often useful during compilation too, though a more
rigorous dev process does tend to name each jar they use instead.

How to set global options for java task in ejbjar?

[lduperval]

Hi,

Is there a way to set global options for java tasks, specifically, the ones
run from withing an ejbjar task? Specifically, for some reason, my java
tasks have started segfaulting. I need to pass the "-classic" flag to (at
least) all the java tasks run within an ejbjar task.

Is there a standard way to to this? I don't feel like modifying each of my
build files.

Thanks,

L

The bit about adding the filenames to the file - but i must admit that i am 
*assuming* that that's part of the process (i was weened on make, so my 
mind-set is probably a bit broken when it comes to ant). i'd be happy to be 
wrong!

Thanks for the quick response!

Why should you need to? If your existing directory structure is appropriate, you can 
have one short build file that builds everything.

Which bit did you expect to be complicated?

Fwd: newbie ant user: creating a skeleton build.xml?

[stephan beal]

Hello, anters,

i'm a complete newbie to ant, but not a newbie user. i've just been given the
task (no pun intented) of converting our company's make-based builds into ant
(~2500 classes in 500-some-odd packages). i've searched high and low and can
find no tool for generating a skeleton build.xml for an existing dir
structure. i refuse to believe that developers actually create that stuff
from scratch by hand all the time...

i tried out antidote (CVS version, as of this afternoon), but it (apparently)
doesn't offer a way of building a skeleton build.xml.

So, my quesions:
a) is there a tool for this?
b) where is it? i keep running into dead ends and "obscure hints with no
hyperlinks" in all of the docs i've come across so far.

i don't mind writing such a tool, i just find it hard to believe that
nobody's done this yet, and even harder to believe that i can't find a
reference to it.

i'm hoping that this question is like the question "how do i set up a CVS
server?" and that the answer is simply so simple that nobody has ever
bothered to document it anywhere.

(PS: i'm a typical lazy programmer who refuses to do by hand what a computer
can be coerced into to doing for me. :)

Thanks very much in advance, and take care,

Re: Critique my optional file copy target, please?

Hi, Stefan.  Thank you for the commentary and critique.

The copy.needed property should only be set for the old sources.  
Assuming my copy-setup target properly does not set it for projects in 
the new layout, the entire copy target will not happen for a new layout 
project because of the if.  Thus, for new sources, the deletion of the 
directory will not happen, but for old sources, the entire 
compile.source directory (into which I copied the contents of the src 
directory) will vanish and be recopied.

Makes sense.  I just wanted to make sure that it will check the if= part 
to decide whether to perform the copy target AFTER running the 
copy-setup target.

I cannot avoid a copy with the old layout, I believe, if I want javac to 
only compile the sources I tell it to, and not others in the same com 
tree.

The "src" property is set to the for-real sources both when the build 
files are in the source tree among the java files (old layout), and when 
they are separate (new layout).

A copy files task is needed with the old layout to prevent "why does ant 
recompile all of my source files" and to prevent it from finding classes 
I do not want it to.  Under the old layout, if someone happened to 
import a file they were not supposed to under the same com tree, javac 
would go find it.  This is normally what you want, but in this case, I 
do not.

The right solution is the new layout, but it will take a while to 
transition.  Of course, someone could add a package they are not 
supposed to with the new layout as well, but we are pretty aggressive 
about preventing that, and it is easier to spot.

Thanks again, Stefan, as making ant happy was one of the drivers for 
this transition.

Scott
