JDE and ANT
When I try to start "JDE"->"Build" with ANT I get the error:
Wrong type argument: char-or-string-p, nil
jde-build-function is set to jde-ant-build in my .emacs:
'(jde-build-function (quote (jde-ant-build)))
trying to start the Lisp debugger ("Options"->"Enter Debugger on Error" set)
results in a total Emacs crash.
I am using NTEmacs 21.2
Did I forget to configure something else?

Also more easy to adapt to possible future arcance vm's and compilers.. The same goes with version numbers - there exists a LONG range of JDK versions, subversions, platforms etc. that could be a nightmare to handle. I would suggest the more pragmatic choice: Variables that defines the behavior and then mayb some functions that adjust those variables according to the different semantics for the versions. jde-run-adjust-for-1-3 jde-run-adjust-for-1-2 jde-run-adjust-for-1-1 jde-compile-adjust-for-jikes etc. But that is just a wild suggestion :) Max R.

Use jde-ant.el and then set the keybinding C-c C-v C-b to be jde-ant-build instead of jde-build and then use that keybinding to compile rather than C-c C-v C-c. > -Original Message- > From: Kevin Jones [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, January 16, 2001 3:47 PM > To: Ben Speakmon > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: JDE and ant? > > > I want to use JDE as by dev environment and Ant as my > 'makefile' But this > means I need to maintain two sets of classpaths, compile > options etc. If I > could get JDE to call Ant for compilation then I only need > have a single > point of update, > > Kevin Jones > DevelopMentor > www.develop.com > > > -Original Message- > > From: Ben Speakmon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > Sent: 16 January 2001 20:11 > > To: Kevin Jones > > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Subject: RE: JDE and ant? > > > > > > On 16 Jan 2001 19:52:58 +, Kevin Jones wrote: > > > > Hmmm.

I want to use JDE as by dev environment and Ant as my 'makefile' But this means I need to maintain two sets of classpaths, compile options etc. If I could get JDE to call Ant for compilation then I only need have a single point of update, Kevin Jones DevelopMentor www.develop.com > -Original Message- > From: Ben Speakmon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: 16 January 2001 20:11 > To: Kevin Jones > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: JDE and ant? > > > On 16 Jan 2001 19:52:58 +, Kevin Jones wrote: > > > Hmmm.

Instead of changing your classpath all the time you just place a .jar file in one of the dirs specified in the -extdirs param. Note per default /lib (i think) is set as your default extdir. This is used to easily install "site-wide" extensions to your java environment. See much more in the Java/Javac docs. Regards Max R. Andersen ([EMAIL PROTECTED])

I have decided to revamp the way classpaths are handled in the JDE in order to more easily and robustly incorporate features, such as relative paths, environment variables, and Cygwin-to-Windows path conversion, and now library directories. It has simply been easier for me to implement the new features from scratch then to try to figure out how what you have done fits into the new classpath code, especially as you seem to be focusing on compilation while classpath handling is also used by the JDE's run, debug, beanshell, and javadoc generation commands. > >>Now, at Jason's prompting, I'll probably also add the ability >>to include all the jar/lib files in the directories specified by >>jde-class-library-dirs. > >Why?

I believe Ant allows you to specify a directory and one or more regular expresions for including or excluding files from that directory. I may try to duplicate that capability in a customization variable setting, i.e., you would be able to specify something like jde-class-library-dirs Directory Path: d:/foo/bar Include: in*.jar Include: fo*.zip Exclude: ex*.jar - Paul

I believe the problem is that JDE tries to have a generic compile function. If you could select the compile (or more accurately build) function on the basis of a particular product then they could easily do things like that. My code allows that. You have a bunch of compiler functions (for javac, jikes, kopi, make, ant, etc...) and specify which one you want to use. Then each function handles the job of interpreting the jde-compile options as it should. My jikes compiler function for example does exactly wha you suggest: - appends jde-compile-classpath to the classpath - searches the jde-compile-extdirs for .jar files and adds them to classpath - compiles with that classpath The javac version just passes things through. Nic >ps. The reason for differentiate classpath and extdirs >and not just concatente them is that extdirs and >classpath has differences in their semantics for >classloading... Agreed. But the differences are minor. When the compiler doesn't support it you might as well go with appending everything as you suggest.

One of the great things about ant is that it let you specify both classpath and extdirs. And dependent on wether the compiler is javac or jikes it handle them transparently. 1. If it is javac it just uses -cp and -extdirs 2. If it is jikes it appends all the dirs and jar files found in to the classpath. Could a similar functionallity be incoporated into JDE ? maybe a jde-compile-compiler-support-extdirs that should be set to false to activate option 2 above. And to be complete a jde-run-jvm-support-extdirs to do the same for Java 1.1 (which do not support extdirs) and Java 1.2-3 (which does support it) Did that make any sense ? I hope so :) ps. The reason for differentiate classpath and extdirs and not just concatente them is that extdirs and classpath has differences in their semantics for classloading... Max R.

Hi Nic, I've updated the JDE to handle environment variables in classpaths and was planning on including relative paths as well. Both will be included in the next release.

Re: JDE and ant?
Kevin Hmmm. You could create a simple ant build file that accepts the name of your file as an input variable... But I'm not sure this is really what you want to be using Ant to do... Ant, like Make, is a very useful tool for controlling _project_ builds, not so much for compiling individual files (unless you only have 1 file in your project... :) ). I suggest sticking with the normal jde-compile functionality for compiling individual files, and using Ant to manage the project as a whole.

RE: JDE and ant?
Jason, this looks pretty cool. What I'm also trying to do is get JDE to compile using ant. To do this I need to replace what JDE thinks of as the compiler (javac) with ant, then pass ant the current file name as a property, so ant -Dfiletocompile.java. Is there any way I can get jde to do this?
