RE: Anybody?
I see... it's funny that you need Ant to build Ant properly... It would seem to me that if you need to debug something about a Tool, you can't really use it the Tool to build itself could you? But anyway, you are right... I should have used the build file. Newbie mistake, didn't realize that the tool would use itself to build. Thanks for the patience, Filip Turns out my problem isn't with Ant but with the URL encoder in java... Ant Uses it and hence I thought it was an ant problem... but Ant is now vindicated :D -Original Message- From: Conor MacNeill [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 28, 2004 4:45 PM To: Ant Developers List Subject: Re: Anybody?

Some may be candidates for retirement but not everyone is in a position to be using the latest and greatest version of each component. Ant has many *optional* external dependencies but they are managed by the Ant build file. If they are not present you get an Ant build without them. How are you trying to build this stuff? Is it with Ant? To give you some idea, check out these components in the Ant build as an example These are from different parts of Ant's build - try searching for xslp or xalan1.

RE: Anybody?
Well the way I'm trying to do the build is simply importing the source folder into an eclipse project and trying to build it. When you do that, there are over 20 libraries (I stopped after that and and started excluding files) that you need to make it compile. I'm guessing that since it is percieved that Ant has little in the way of dependencies, that the dependencies that I encountered must be for optional tasks that are not normally built, but are included in the source anyway. Since this is my first time ever looking at the ant source, I was unaware of what should and shouldn't be compiled (not much in the way of documentation on that). But you live, you learn...

Ant has very little in the way of dependencies. If you are unable to build Ant from source, it's not because of the external dependencies. Back up and tell us how you are trying to do the build. -Matt --- Filip Balas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > In the following 2 files: > Xalan1Executor.java > XslpLiaison.java > > import org.apache.xalan.xslt.XSLTInputSource; > import org.apache.xalan.xslt.XSLTProcessor; > import org.apache.xalan.xslt.XSLTProcessorFactory; > import org.apache.xalan.xslt.XSLTResultTarget; > > PS > I don't know what anything does, I'm just trying > to get this thing to compile so I can start trying > to understand it as I play... this is proving > non-trivial. > > It is concerning how many dependancies Ant has > on other projects, is this normal for open source? > > -Filip > > > -Original Message- > From: Matt Benson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, June 28, 2004 2:16 PM > To: Ant Developers List > Subject: RE: Anybody? > > > --- Filip Balas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Thanks, > > > > I'm just not getting any messages whatsoever, > other > > than the one you just sent...

Easy out Solution...
Nevermind... I give up. Just going to exclude from the build every file that depends on something wacky. Hopefully this won't break anything. Filip Balas - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: Anybody?
In the following 2 files: Xalan1Executor.java XslpLiaison.java import org.apache.xalan.xslt.XSLTInputSource; import org.apache.xalan.xslt.XSLTProcessor; import org.apache.xalan.xslt.XSLTProcessorFactory; import org.apache.xalan.xslt.XSLTResultTarget; PS I don't know what anything does, I'm just trying to get this thing to compile so I can start trying to understand it as I play... this is proving non-trivial. It is concerning how many dependancies Ant has on other projects, is this normal for open source? -Filip -Original Message- From: Matt Benson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 28, 2004 2:16 PM To: Ant Developers List Subject: RE: Anybody? --- Filip Balas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thanks, > > I'm just not getting any messages whatsoever, other > than the one you just sent...

RE: Anybody?
Why would a User have any interest in Building Ant? This is a developer question as building Ant is what a developer does, a User simply installs and uses a built version of Ant. Therefore the question is to the appropriate group. -Filip -Original Message- From: Kenneth Wood [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 28, 2004 2:10 PM To: Ant Developers List Subject: RE: Anybody?

RE: Anybody?
Thanks, I'm just not getting any messages whatsoever, other than the one you just sent... I found that rather strange if there are 'lots of folks' on the list. Is there any reason why Ant is using such old libraries? (ie. Xalan 1.0 when 2.6 is available) Filip -Original Message- From: Matt Benson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 28, 2004 1:54 PM To: Ant Developers List Subject: Re: Anybody? --- Filip Balas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Is anybody on this list? > Lots of folks... -Matt __ Do you Yahoo!?

Required Packages?
Does anyone know where I can download all of the packages required to get Ant to compile. I have wasted 2 hours searching the net for these various packages (shouldn't they be included with the source download under lib?) and have found that some of them are no longer supported and therefore, not available for download anymore (i.e. xalan1.2.2). Can someone please direct me to a link where I can find these libraries and/or send me a zip file with the required jars and I will post it on the web so that others don't have to go through this if they wish to debug Ant!!!
