Build successful but nothing produced

[Tom Corcoran <To...@trilogycomms.com>]

I've just started with Ant this afternoon and found the documentation
very food.

 

I've been trying to do a simple build with my goal to generate a file
including the time stamp which I can read in my applet to display on an
about screen. Here's my build.xml :

 

<project name="MyProject">

    <description>

        MyProject build file

    </description>

  <property name="src" location="src"/>

  <property name="build" location="classes"/>

  <property name="dist"  location="classes"/>

 

  <target name="init">

    <!-- Create the time stamp; figure out how to write this to a file
-->

  <tstamp>

    <format property="Now" pattern="d MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss"/>

  </tstamp>

  </target>

  

  <target name="compile" depends="init"

        description="compile the source " >

    <javac srcdir="${src}" destdir="${build}"/>

  </target>

 

  <target name="dist" depends="compile"

        description="generate the distribution" >

    <jar jarfile="${dist}/MyProject.jar" basedir="${build}"/>

  </target>

  

</project>

 

Doing an "ant" sats build successful but nothing appears to have been
done. There are no .java or a .jar built. Here's the output from an "ant
- debug" :

Any comments are appreciated.

 

Thanks a lot,
