build.woapp.

I checked, and this little gem is in the build.xml file of all the
App and Framework project templates.
The new ones? I wonder if that is a left over from pre-New Hotness.
Yep. Nightly as of a couple nights ago.
I'm guessing there's a reason that it just loads everything in
Libraries, but it's counterintuitive when the incremental builder
doesn't do that. Not as far as I can tell, anyway.
I am leaning more towards cruft that never bit anyone before.
I just love being the guy that this kind of stuff bites. Maybe I'm
just willing to look like an idiot and ask... :-)
Is that right? Even if there are files in the Libraries
directory, that doesn't automatically put them on the classpath,
you still have to add them, so I wouldn't think that Ant should
be specifically going out of it's way to find them there.
Reality is that which when you stop believing in it refuses to go
away.
:-P
The same should hold true for /Library/WebObjects/Extensions/ if
people shouldn't be putting stuff in there, and it seems to cause
a lot of confusion, why go and automatically load everything in
there?
For compatibility with how the runtime works. Just because people
say that you should not be putting things in there, does not mean
that other people will listen.
Can we at least make Ant write "You moron! There's stuff in the
WebObjects/Extensions directory. Get rid of it." into the console
if the directory isn't empty? It would have only mildly hurt my
feelings yesterday, but would have saved me a few hours time.
We could, but that would entail messing about in the WOProject
code. That ranks somewhere around "double root canal" in terms of
fun.
Yeah, it was kind of a rhetorical question....
Second, I added an external .jar file to my project, it shows up
in the .classpath file in the project, but Ant is _not_ loading
that one. Why?
How did you add it? What does it look like in the .classpath file?
In the Build Path properties window I clicked the "Add External
JARs" button and selected it. It is the client-side jar of
EODistribution (Since WOLips doesn't automatically add the client-
side jars to the classpath when you add a framework to the build
path).
<classpathentry kind="lib" path="/Developer/WebObjects/bestmaid/
System/Library/Frameworks/JavaEODistribution.framework/Versions/A/
WebServerResources/Java/JavaEODistribution.jar"/>
That sounds like a Mike question. The FQ path looks scary in the
classpath, but I would have thought that New Hotness would have put
these on the classpath. Is it perhaps just not _scanning_ for it as
there is a FQ path?
Well, this is an "External JAR" so it would have to be fully
qualified, but it appears that anything in the .classpath file that is
a type="lib" get's ignored. Which may be why the build.xml file goes
and grabs everything out of the Libraries directory.
