How to Write A Custom Path / Fileset

I want to write a custom Fileset type that reads input from a file. I don't want to support any nested elements, I just want to be able to do something like this: and have a custom class create a fileset based on the content of libraries.txt. So, I have two questions: 1. Is it possible for

The type doesn't support the nested "echo" element

An offshore user running JDK 1.4.1_02 and Ant 1.6.1 is getting this strange message: The type doesn't support the nested "echo" element Here's the snippet of code: 'makeall' produces output like this: $ makeall bmesmall Using jvm.lib at "c:\local\jdk1.4.x\lib\jvm.lib" Root di

Re: custom task question

Thanks for your help. I figured it was much too complicated for what I wanted to do. The shell script is for a deployment of my software to various linux pcs. The software is 24x7 server software for a grid computing project. The sysadmins for those pcs are intimately familiar with unix system

Re: custom task question

I would probably do this a different way. What is the shell script for? What about the particular java task in your build file are you trying to preserve? If you really need to do this you'd probably have an easier time extending the Java task and grabbing its command line to write your shell sc

Re: custom task question

I'm probably doing things incorrectly. The code snippet is... Target target = (Target)getProject().getTargets().get(fromTarget); Task[] tasks = target.getTasks(); Then I just search through the array for the one labeled "java" and that turns out to be an UnknownElement. Basically, all I want to

Re: custom task question

Sorry, sent that one too soon. Continuing... from there I'm trying to get access to the java runtime inside of the task specified to my custom task, unixscriptgen. Instead I get access to an UnknownElement which I can then try and call the getTask() method on. It returns null unless I first call

custom task question

Hello, I'm trying to generate a unix shell script from an ant task. The ant task is just a simple java execution and I want to generate the unix shell script for deployment purposes. Is there a way to do this easily? I've tried to write a custom task and I'm having a difficult time getting all

tools.jar is part of a JDK - not included in a JRE. So your JAVA_HOME should point to a JDK. Jan > -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- > Von: Graeme Shaw [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Gesendet am: Freitag, 8. April 2005 17:02 > An: user@ant.apache.org > Betreff: Ant configuration problem (tools.jar).

Hello Thanks for responding. Since I have i,j variable is defined outside of all methods in my method, their values are available anywhere in any method. Can you provide pseudo code or any example snippet for 2 and 3 ? I am new to ant world ? Eagerly awaiting your response to implement your

I'm trying to get Ant set up so I can use it to install Apache XML-RPC. I have: $JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/java/jre $ANT_HOME=/usr/local/ant When I run 'ant' in the XML-RPC directory I get the output I've attached at the bottom. I can't seem to find a tools.jar either in /usr/lib/java/jre/lib or in /us

Classpath reference

Hello, Apache Ant version 1.6.2 I have a problem with my Ant script. I create a classpath reference at the start of the script, like this: ... but when I reference this from one of the targets in the build script (a JUnit test), it doesn't seem to be picking
