Yes, unless you set the includeantruntime attribute of  to
false.

Because it used to be that way and we are caught in the backwards
compatibility trap.  If it is wrong for you, you can always set
includeantruntime.

JTest task

Has anyone written a task for Parasoft's JTest?  I know it's not free, but I'm
using it and need to find or write something for it soon, so before I start
working on it I'd like to know if someone else has.  I checked the archives
and someone asked last year, but no responses yet.

Yes, there is definitely a flaw with that example, thanks for pointing that
out.

How about this?




And use env.WHATEVER in your default.properties file as the property to set
there.  And internally use that property name internally to your build file
where needed and override from the command-line
using -Denv.WHATEVER=.

I'm sure there are other ways to do this with a cleaner property name.  I
prefer not to use "env." properties internally and reassign them to
non-enviromental looking names - if you wanted to do that in this case you'd
have to resort to a temporary property to act as an intermediate
placeholder, I think.

hard coded c:\j2sdkee1.2.1 and replace it with an environment var like

Re: Is there a property that does what -logger does?

[Erik Hatcher]

No, there isn't a property way to do this.  But the latest wrapper scripts
allow you to configure an environment variable ANT_ARGS that is used.  So
you could:

set ANT_ARGS=-logger 

Erik

p.s. Again, this requires that you have the latest (past version 1.4.1)
ant.bat/.sh - you can grab that from Ant's CVS and should not be a problem
using with a 1.4.1 version of Ant.

Re: Environment Variables and Ant

[Erik Hatcher]

It just means that Ant is using the Java API to get environment variables,
and that relies on the Java runtime providing it.  Don't worry,  works in the environments you're likely to encounter.
I don't know of any where it doesn't work.  Anyone know differently?

Simon,

I have similar requirements for proposing a cross-platform solution to build
several products.  I have requirements to build on Windows, AIX, HP-Unix,
Solaris, and OS400.  The added twist is that we want to not only build java,
we are already doing a pilot of java with ANT and Cruise Control, but we
want to build C and C++.  Are you doing anything similar or do you know of
anyone to refer me to?

I desire a stand-alone build system that is cross-platform (Win2K, Linux,

telnet task

All,
 I have a weird problem. I am using the  telnet task to do just ls on
the remote machine. My code looks like


 
 /home/picasso/vobadm
 ls
 /home/picasso/vobadm
 
 

 I run this on a Solaris box and doing a telnet to a HP-UX box. It hangs for ever 
as shown below,

__
Ant version 1.4.1 compiled on October 11 2001

 I can see a "ttytype -s" process running on the HP-UX machine when it hangs.

 But if I run this from the HP-UX box and telnet to a Solaris box(with neccessary 
modification to the code), it works fine.


Any idea, what is going on ?

I would appreciate any help on this.

RE: EJB Packaging

[Eddie Bernard]

First question: What version of Weblogic are you using?  It makes a
difference since 6.x supports the J2EE standard for packaging and (AFAIK)
5.x does not.  This means that you cannot package enterprise applications in
5.x (per the J2EE convention).

Next, take a look through the archives for this.  I, and several others,
have posted some of our findings on this very topic.  In particular, the
discussions centered on the modification of the "Class-Path" attribute the
manifest (META-INF/manifest.mf) file of the enterprise app.

However, if you answer the first question I'm sure I can provide you with a
much clearer answer ;).

we test them, we got ClassCastException, that maybe because we have an
indepand package(common value objects) which is used by all EJBs, any body
has any idea about how to package them? sample is better.

Yep. I can't comment on any other ide but JBuilder does it pretty well 
if you just want to
compile/run and debug your code. But i think software development these 
days goes beyond
that (i.e., deploy, test, package, ...) Ant is extensible and it allows 
you to do that with
reasonable ease.

How about mentioning Antidote? That would provide some level of comfort 
to the project managers!

Please clarify a point about properties

[Brian Murray]

I'm trying to set up a precedence for setting properties as follows:
command-line-->environment-->file. 
In searching the archives for some information about setting properties
I saw the following statement which didn't seem accurate to me:

>> property file and then "override" them from the
>> environment. I have found two mechanisms for

"overridden"
> (which is a weird term, when its actually being set first instead of
being
> overwritten).


Now I'm fuzzy on the whole property thing, but it seems like
  
Would set "my.desired.prop" to the STRING "${env.WHATEVER}" if WHATEVER
was not a defined environment variable.  Therefore, any attempt to set
"my.desired.prop" in the "default.properties" file would fail because
"my.desired.prop" would already be set.  

Am I off base?

This gets to my whole point. Almost every IDE offers some kind of project
capability and a way to compile that project, but (usually) only from within
the IDE itself.

I desire a stand-alone build system that is cross-platform (Win2K, Linux,
Solaris, AIX, Mac OS X at a minimum), easy to use (not all of our developers
will have time to learn anything complicated *cough*make*cough*), capable of
being run from a command-line or script.

Ant meets all these needs with style. My point was to try and find
alternatives that I could list so that my proposal to use Ant didn't look
like it was written by a founding member of the Ant fan club! :-)

RE: Research question

[Chappell, Simon P]

This gets to my whole point. Almost every IDE offers some kind of project capability 
and a way to compile that project, but (usually) only from within the IDE itself.

I desire a stand-alone build system that is cross-platform (Win2K, Linux, Solaris, 
AIX, Mac OS X at a minimum), easy to use (not all of our developers will have time to 
learn anything complicated *cough*make*cough*), capable of being run from a 
command-line or script.

EJB Packaging

[Barry Jia]

First of all, I would say I am NOT an EJB guy.
But I was asked to compile and package the EJBs for WebLogic.
In our app, we have 4 EJBs(*.jar ,including a base persistent EJB) and we
have a web app (.war) which include all jsp, servlet and web app classes).
We want to package them together and then deploy them under WebLogic, when
we test them, we got ClassCastException, that maybe because we have an
indepand package(common value objects) which is used by all EJBs, any body
has any idea about how to package them? sample is better.
Thanks

Hello Folks

I have a question for you.  I recently downloaded the J2EE sdk and would

hard coded c:\j2sdkee1.2.1 and replace it with an environment var like
"J2EE_HOME".  This environment var would need to be platform independent.

The  task uses the standard cvs command-line client to do it's 
work, so it also has the same limitations as that tool. Cvs itself won't 
allow relative paths with ../ in an update command. Try it out on any cvs 
tree you've got laying around:

stephan@cheyenne:~/cvs/qub/lib> cvs up ../Makefile.am
protocol error: `..' has too many ..

Absolute paths will apparently also fail:

stephan@cheyenne:~/cvs/qub> export foo=$PWD
stephan@cheyenne:~/cvs/qub> cd -
/home/stephan/cvs/qub/lib
stephan@cheyenne:~/cvs/qub/lib> cvs up $foo/Makefile.am
absolute pathname `/home/stephan/cvs/qub' illegal for server
stephan@cheyenne:~/cvs/qub/lib> cd ..
stephan@cheyenne:~/cvs/qub> cvs up $foo/Makefile.am
absolute pathname `/home/stephan/cvs/qub' illegal for server
stephan@cheyenne:~/cvs/qub> echo $foo
/home/stephan/cvs/qub

Some mail clients (kmail, at least) can filter based off of the mailing list 
id. See if your client'll do that and you'll be all set. In kmail you simply 
right-click the mail, click Create Filter and select "Filter on Mailing-list
