When using ant 1.7, did you see a warning about references?

Thanks Peter. This was very helpful.

Subject: Re: Gertting "Reference <ejb.classpath> not found" while using Ant 1.8 RC1
This happens when an id is defined in a target that is not run,
for example:
<project default="abc">
<target name="abc">
<... use id x here >
</target>
<target name="not_run">
<fileset id="x" ...>
</target>
</project>
The warning in 1.7.x was that x was not defined, so ant would read the
full build file and find a random x id and use that one. This causes a
lot of problems ... and the ant code to do this was difficult to maintain.
So on ant 1.7 the big dirty warning message was placed in - and many
years later (the "future" in the warning message), the hacking code
in ant has been removed.

RE: Gertting "Reference not found" while using Ant
1.8 RC1
Posted by Suman N <Su...@curamsoftware.com>.
Hi,
When using Ant 1.7, I get the following warning.
Warning: Reference ejb.classpath has not been set at runtime, but was found during
build file parsing, attempting to resolve. Future versions of Ant may support
referencing ids defined in non-executed targets.
I understand that I am doing something wrong here. I am new to Ant and I don’t understand what a non-executed target is.
Can you please suggest what should be done to rectify the issue, while using 1.8RC1?
Thanks,
Suman.N
