Subject: RE: Problem to build
james with ANT
Hi
Steve,
I
started it in the MAIN branch. Well, when I tried to start ant setup in the
project diroctory then this error happens:
vserver279:/usr/src/james-server/project#
ant setup
Buildfile: build.xml
BUILD
FAILED
/usr/src/james-server/project/build.xml:29: Could not create task or type of
type: antlib:org.apache.avalon.tools:home.
Ant
could not find the task or a class this task relies upon.
This
is common and has a number of causes; the usual
solutions are to read the manual pages then download and
install needed JAR files, or fix the build file:
- You have misspelt 'antlib:org.apache.avalon.tools:home'.
Fix: check your spelling.
- The task needs an external JAR file to execute
and this is not found at the right place in the
classpath.
&n! bsp; Fix: check the documentation for dependencies.
Fix: declare the task.
- The task is an Ant optional task and the JAR file and/or libraries
implementing the functionality were not found at the
time you
yourself built your installation of Ant from the Ant
sources.
Fix: Look in the ANT_HOME/lib for the 'ant-' JAR corresponding to
the
task and make sure it contains more than merely a
META-INF/MANIFEST.MF.
If all it contains is the manifest, then rebuild Ant
with the needed
libraries present in ${ant.home}/lib/optional/ , or
alternatively,
download a pre-built release version from apache.org
- The build file was written for a later version of Ant
Fix: upgrade to at least the latest release version of Ant
- The task is not an Ant ! core or optional task
and needs to be decl ared using <taskdef>.
- You are attempting to use a task defined using
<presetdef> or <macrodef> but have spelt wrong
or not
defined it at the point of use
Remember
that for JAR files to be visible to Ant tasks implemented
in ANT_HOME/lib, the files must be in the same directory or on the
classpath
Please
neither file bug reports on this problem, nor email the
Ant mailing lists, until all of these causes have been explored,
as this is not an Ant bug.
Total
time: 1 second
Thats
strange, because I could not find the solution.
Best
Regards,
Maik
