Problem running CVS task - CVS not found?

Hi, I've recently created a build.xml file I want to run nightly via a cron job on a Solaris box. I have a simple shell script which, when I call manually works fine. When I add this task to the crontab I get the following errors mailed to me: [mkdir] Created dir: /opt/autobuild/nightly/sr

Well, for the parallel, just rename it to Parallel2, and use it as a foreign task. As to the patch to execute, the only fix is to the method waitFor(): protected void waitFor(Process process) { try { process.waitFor(); setExitValue(process.exitValue());

Hi, I want to set a variable based on some conditions. This does not seem to work. I get the error Class org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.condition.Os doesn't support the "name" attribute. Why should this happen when the Ant manual says that name attribute is supported? Is there a workaround

True Diane. I didn't think of all those other cases. It seems to me that Ant tasks should nonetheless attempt to strive for as much 'smarts' and convenience though. A lot of the other examples you cite could be handled by keeping state in between invocations, similar to the cache for example. It

I think it IS a bug. I'm sorry for this chain of emails, I'm just trying to throw as much input as I can for this problem. I tried another javac command with the "." or the ${build.dir} b4 the ./oui.jar, and it did display similar error messages that I got using ant. The only difference is that wi

Re: Excludes file problem !!

Yes, I tested some stuff myself. The listfiles="yes" variable in the javac task shows all classes to be compiled. It does not show any classes in the excludes path, but some are compiled anyway. The nice thing is; not all are :) Seems to me like a bug. Any core developers that can comment on

Perhaps, but the patch in bugzilla (which I also have) looks OK to me (although that doesn't mean much). Somehow the author never pushed it, and no commiter ever tried it that I know of. So whether the patch does it successfully or not in a cross-platform manner, we don't even know... --DD -O

Re: Starting a Java application in the background.

You are mixing up the children and parents relations of the two. A java task is a child of the ant process. Killing the ant process will kill its children as well. With the java process still living after ant died the children died and the parent still lives. There is a way on linux to 'detach

RE: testing for update on filter file

This works, but is more a work-around. The semantic of (its 'smarts') is broken if the files are not copied when the filter file has changed. It should be built-in to IMHO, and avoid doing the depends/if dance. I think this is my single real gripe about Ant, all these convolutions one has to go
