http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18105 problem with TarEntry class and linux Summary: problem with TarEntry class and linux Product: Ant Version: 1.5.2 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: Core AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] there's a problem in the TarEntry class : ................................................................................................................... public TarEntry(File file) { this(); this.file = file; String name = file.getPath(); String osname = System.getProperty("os.name"); if (osname != null) { // Strip off drive letters! // REVIEW Would a better check be "(File.separator == '\')"? String win32Prefix = "Windows"; String prefix = osname.substring(0, win32Prefix.length()); ................................................................................................................... when using linux, osname = "Linux" and its length is < win32Prefix.length() So, when invoking 'osname.substring(0, win32Prefix.length());' an exception is returned : Exception in thread "main" java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: 7 at java.lang.String.substring(String.java:1477) at org.apache.tools.tar.TarEntry.<init>(TarEntry.java:210) ... In fact, with such a bug linux is incompatible with ant and Tar* classes...
