NPE in Ant 1.7.0
Has this bug been reported yet?
Run "ant init clean" and you get an NPE. Basically, Ant will not run
multiple targets, which is a pretty huge limitation.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="AntNPE" default="init">
<target name="init">
<echo id="test">test</echo>
</target>
<target name="clean" depends="init"/>
</project>

Ok, verified for Ant 1.7.0 and Ant 1.7.1beta2.
Works for 1.6.5.

No, not simply "ant", rather "ant init clean".

I don't mind, I was just confused by the name. But keeping the name scheme
consistent with what has been done before is good. The only annoying thing I
see is that Ant and Ivy do not use the same meaning behind the names given
to releases: in Ivy the beta we have published are still far from being
release candidates, and may changes still have to be introduced before we
reach the release candidate cycles.

At least it shouldn't be drastically different.
My personal take would be to include the fix for this. If it doesn't
look to scary, that is.
> Why not name it a release candidate then?
Because Ant has traditionally never called anything a release
candidate (I think) but always called the release candidates betas.
We've never had any alpha releases and our betas have tradionally been
way more frozen than what other projects call beta.
I'm not saying that we can't change 8-)

OK, now that I look back in the mail history I notice we agreed he is the
release manager for 1.7.1, not 1.7.1 beta or something. In Ivy, we consider
each alpha / beta as a release, and as such we agree on a release manager
for each. Hence I was confused and thought kev was release manager for
1.7.1beta2 only. But I think I now understand the process.
> There are always last minute bugs fixes etc..
Do you mean that 1.7.1 final is supposed to be the same as 1.7.1beta2,
except for last minute bug fix? Why not name it a release candidate then? I
find the name beta confusing if feedback from users and fixes can't be
included easily. Do I have a strange understanding of what a beta is?

It is up to kev.
There are always last minute bugs fixes etc..
We really need an ant 1.7.1 - it fixes things like generating corrupted
bzip files.
I have a fix for this, an am running the current (broken) ant tests
against it.

What do you mean by "we are in a release cycle"? Obviously this won't go
into 1.7.1beta2 which is already out, but wouldn't it be possible to include
it in 1.7.1 final? Should 1.7.1beta2 be considered as a release candidate
for 1.7.1 which is almost frozen? As I said in the comment on the issue,
this bug is really annoying for Ivy users: we use id of the settings task to
isolate settings, therefore I suspect many Ivy users will run into such
trouble. So I'd really like to get this fixed in 1.7.1.

Thanks very much for reducing the build file to the smallest possible
file that shows the problem, this will help greatly in solving
the problem.

This may be problematic, as we are in a release cycle at the moment.
It will be up the the release manager to accept any fix that may be
found.

A (not very good) work around may be to
add some extra targets to correspond to the multiple targets.
<target name="a_b" depends="a, b"/>
or use (yuck) antcalls:
<target name="a_b">
<antcall target="a"/>
<antcall target="b"/>
</target>
or try to refactor the build file to remove references from
tasks, or place these tasks outside targets.

Hi Peter,
I added a bug report a few minutes ago; the bug number is:
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=44689
We have a fairly complex build system at VeriSign, so obviously we would
love to see this fixed in 1.7.1. We cannot run multiple targets, ever.

Thanks for report - and the build file.
This has not been reported before, please add a bug report.
This error is also present int the ant 1.7.1beta build and the trunk.
In general, however, ant 1.7.0 can support multiple targets, I (and a
gillzillion others) use them all the time), there must be something in
the build.xml that triggers an edge condition (in
RuntimeConfigurable.java:381)
- the use of references to tasks may be the root cause.

Thanks for report - and the build file.
This has not been reported before, please add a bug report.
This error is also present int the ant 1.7.1beta build and the trunk.
In general, however, ant 1.7.0 can support multiple targets, I (and
a gillzillion others) use
them all the time), there must be something in the build.xml that
triggers an edge condition (in RuntimeConfigurable.java:381)
- the use of references to tasks may be the root cause.
