problems with ant optional tasks

Hi there, I'm pretty much totally new to linux and am having some build
problems with Dspace which I believe is because I don't have my Ant
optional tasks working.

Basics I'm using Suse Linux Enterprise Server version 10 with sp 1

I downloaded and installed java - jdk-6u2-linux-i586.rpm

As well as "ant-1.6.5-4jpp.noarch.rpm" and
"ant-apache-regexp-1.6.5-4jpp.noarch.rpm"

I also installed postgresql 8.1

I downloaded dspace source tarball

When I run ant fresh_install from the dspace download directory I get a
build failed error:88 no regular matching expression found (that's why I
downloaded and installed "ant-apache-regexp-1.6.5-4jpp.noarch.rpm", but
didn't help)

 

When I run ant -diagnostics it says the optional tasks are not
available.  From what I understand if the "ant-optional" jars are not
installed properly I would get the build error I'm getting so that's the
direction I'm currently looking in but I'm open to suggestions.

 

I'm attaching the output from ant -diagnostics

RE: problems with ant optional tasks

Posted by Stephen Wilkinson <sw...@uoguelph.ca>.
Thanks folks
This is a small part of my job so I don't have the time to keep at it
and there will be delays between seeking information and implementation.

I have spent much time with the documentation, part of the problem is
that I don't really know which optional libraries I need. All I am going
by is the build error I get when trying to build dspace with Ant
regarding "no matching regular expression found" So I grabbed
ant-regexpression and ant-optional.
I gave a quick check with ant 1.7, copied the binaries to usr/share/ant;
Added usr/share/ant/lib to my path; Set ANT_HOME but still no dice.  
Hopefully I can squeeze an hour in today to try to trouble shoot it a
bit further.

Thanks again
Stephen

I would just use ant 1.7.0, download from the the ant site,
this will ignore the jpackage installed ant, if you define
ANT_HOME env variable,


To use optional tasks with the jpackage version of ant requires
placing of the defendant libraries in the right place. This involves
using the associated rpm files.

Re: problems with ant optional tasks

Posted by David Weintraub <qa...@gmail.com>.
You may want to look at
<http://ant.apache.org/manual/install.html#librarydependencies> which
tells you the various JAR dependencies for each task. You also need to
read about each specific ant task too and see what jars are needed.

I haven't used any optional task, but I am using the AntContrib tasks
and the mail task and those needed extra jar files which I put in the
"lib" directory under Ant (version 7.0).

I also had to add a "taskdef" task to my build.xml. Wonder if you have
to do something similar with the optional ant tasks?

RE: problems with ant optional tasks

Posted by Stephen Wilkinson <sw...@uoguelph.ca>.
Hi there and thank you for responding;
I downloaded and installed ant-optional-1.6.5-20.3.i586.rpm
Which is the closest version I could find to ant-1.6.5-4jpp.noarch.rpm,
it just contained ant-antlr

Ant -diagnostics still says optional tasks: not available 

The install put the ant-antlr jar into /usr/share/java rather than
usr/share/ant/lib so I tried copying them there but didn't help.

I tried forcing the library with ant -lib /path but same result. 
Any other suggestions?
Thanks again for your time
Stephen

Try grabbing ant-optional as well, which should contain the missing 
tasks. You shoudn't need any extra libraries for a java6 jvm, as it has 
built in regexp code.
