Ant build shows BUILD SUCCESSFUL even for no java sources.

[sunil singh <su...@oracle.com>]

Hi,

 Doing an ant build for a project, the build is shown to be successful
 even though the source folder is empty and there are no java sources under
it.

 For example:
 If we have a build.xml file and an empty src folder to which the
 build.xml refers, and there are no source files under it.

MyProject/build.xml
MyProject/src/project/calculations/...

 Now the ant build sees this as not an issue, and happily claims that the
 Build is successful, whereas there was nothing to build(compile) in first
place.
 Is there a way we can make ant to recognise this as a problem and show a
 Build Failure.
[ I am looking for native ant solution, I know that we might embed other
 perl scripts etc. in the build.xml to look for *.java and complain if it
doesn't see any
there ]

Thanks! for any help.

Hi Sunil,
here is a sample which does what you want :

<project name="emptyfileset" default="emptyfileset">
   <target name="emptyfileset">
       <!-- you just need to adapt the fileset here -->
       <fileset dir="/temp" includes="**/*.java" id="ref.emptyfileset"/>
       <pathconvert targetos="unix" property="property.emptyfileset"
refid="ref.emptyfileset"/>
       <condition property="fileset.isempty">
           <equals arg1="${property.emptyfileset}" arg2=""/>
       </condition>
       <fail if="fileset.isempty" message="empty fileset"/>
   </target>
</project>

Hi !
javac does behave that way.
if u want to drop it, u can define a fileset of *.java and check if it is empty
or not  (check <condition>), then echo watever u want, otherwise launch the
<javac>.
seb.
