Order of classpath supplied by dependencies ant task
Hi,
I am using Antlib for Maven 2.0 to do dependency management in our ant builds. I have a number of POM files for compiling common, server and client code. I also want to use maven to manage our server runtime classpath. I use the following code to get the server runtime classpath from a POM file and store it in a pathId for use later.
<artifact:dependencies pathId="cp.server.runtime.jars" filesetId="server.runtime.jars.fileset" >
<remoteRepository refid="maven.repository" />
<pom file="${fetched.build.files.dir}/server_runtime_pom.xml" />
</artifact:dependencies>
However if I list the contents of the cp.server.runtime.jars property the jar files are not in the order I specified:
<property name="cp" refid="cp.server.runtime.jars"/>
<echo message="Server Runtime Classpath is ${cp}"/>
It is important that I can specify the order of the runtime jar files because there is a patch that must be first in the classpath. Is there a way to specify an order of jar files in the POM file? Or to force the dependencies to be stored in the pathID property in the same order as in the POM file?

Good day,
Sorry, but I ran out of ideas.
But maybe archiva has some functionalities that can help you manage your
repository ( see [1] and [2] ). And if it does not, you might want to ask
for those functionalities ( see [3] ) :-)
Cheers,
Franz

Hi Franz,
I thought that would be the case. I have found a bug report that describes
my issue but it was created over a year ago so I don't hold out much hope of
it being fixed soon.
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1935?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:worklog-tabpanel
We have an old application (started in the late 90's) that is built using
ANT scripts. It would be very painful to migrate the build to Maven. So the
next best thing is to use a maven repository for library file management and
the dependencies task to manage the dependencies in ANT.
Up till now the library files have not been managed. The libraries used in
the build are not the same as used at run time. Some of the library files
required by the application are no longer maintained and I don't know what
version they are. We also have some custom libraries. So I have created our
own maven repository and added the libraries using artifact:install. It will
be another exercise to get the application working with known versions of
the libraries.
I have set the POM files up as per the instructions on
http://maven.apache.org/ant-tasks.html. Is there another way to access the
maven repository from within an ANT script? Any suggestions are gratefully
received.
Thanks,
Joseph

Good day to you, Joseph,
AFAIK, you cannot control the order of the dependencies...And I can't think
of a workaround.
Curious, why use antlib for your dependency management and not use maven's ?
Cheers,
Franz
