Localhost name
Is there a way, in Ant, without specifying some startup variable or hard
coding a property, to get the machine name for localhost that the buld
script is running on?

How about for Linux:
<exec executable="uname" outputproperty="hostname">
<arg line="-a"/>
</exec>
<echo message="${hostname}"/>
OK, now you tell me how I can echo the content of a classpath I just
compiled, for debug purposes?
Thanks

Re: Localhost name and other uses

I think you also had a <hostname> task in there.
Thats the one I adpoted.
It's actually quite convenient to have props that differ from host to
host and operating sys in prop-files named
ant.${the.hostname}.properties
ant.${the.os}.properties
in init just <propertyfile/> them into ant.

there is also a <localhost> task in ant's CVS, under
proposal/sandbox/httptasks; we should move it in to the main source for
1.6...I was also thinking of adding an <nslookup> to set a property with an
ipaddr/hostname if the target was lookup-able

Sounds interesting. But keep in mind that on machines using multiple
hostnames/ip java will only return one (IMHO on Linux it's the first
entry in the /etc/hosts). That can result in some problems
you cannot track down easily.
It's quite ok to do it that way (I don't have any other idea), but it's
always good to keep the traps in mind.

Where I work, we couldn't find a way to do this. So we implemented our own
task to do it for us. The implementation itself was trivial (just call
InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostName() in the execute() method and store
it in a user-specified property), but I can see about making it available if
you (or anyone else) is interested.

This little trick, which I seem to remember stealing from Steve and Erik,
seems to work well for Windoze and Solaris...
<!-- Get properties from the environment... -->
<property environment="env"/>
<!-- Use 'immutable property' trick to make it cross-platform. -->
<property name="env.HOSTNAME" value="${env.COMPUTERNAME}"/>
