Trailing slash on ANT_HOME in windows

Posted by Kieran <ki...@esperi.demon.co.uk>.
Hi,

I installed ant 1.5.1 on a Windows NT 4 box with jsdk 1.3.1 last night.

The ANT_HOME variable had a trailing slash (e:\ant-1.5.1\ actually).
This resulted in the ant.bat file making a call to:

   java.exe -classpath <antclasspath> "-Dant.home=e:\ant-1.5.1\"
   org.apache.tools.ant.Main

and the java binary bugged out, giving the usage message.
Further checking shows that removing the quotes or the trailing
slash around the "-D" results in normal operation.

I did a google, but didn't immediately find info on this.  Later,
I found the following bug, marked FIXED
http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1849

The summary seems to be that you can:
1. Allow the trailing slash
2. Allow paths with spaces
or
3. Have 1 and 2, (by adding "\." on each run) but increase the
size of the ANT_HOME variable in Win9x for each run.

Would you guys accept an FAQ entry on this subject?

regards

Kieran

AntServlet for lengthy processes

Posted by Samuel L Gabriel <sg...@brainfuse.com>.
File based builds from production to development servers takes a pretty
long time, specially on slower connections from remote locations. 
 
I have developed a servlet that can be incorporated into Tomcat or any
other servlet container that starts an Ant process, passing all the url
parameters as ant command line parameters, the servlet executes an ant
script (provided in the url), the servlet can then read any output file
of the local ant process and pass it to the caller.

The servlet is being used for quite some time to provide builds in
production, the ant script in production uses the get task to retrieve
the data from the servlet on development, the local ant script log into
VSS, extract and zip the files, the servlet then read the zipped file
and send it to the get task on the production envirnoment,  which unzip
it using the "unzip" task and continue the build.

I hope I can contribute this servlet to the Ant community.
Please let me know what I should do?
Regards
Sam Gabriel

RPM are being constructed, sent a first release,
but not build with JDK 1.4, so no JDK 1.4 Regexp.

A rpm release 2 will be sent tomorrow :-)
