mail differences from 1.5.3 to 1.6.0

["Ciramella, EJ" <EC...@emptoris.com>]

I've just upgraded to take advantage of the subant task but the mail that
gets sent out is weird.

Using ant 1.5.3, the file used for the body of the message gets treated just
as such.  With 1.6.0, I get a message from the server (with the file as an
attachment):

This message uses a character set that is not supported by the Internet
Service.  To view the original message content,  open the attached message.
If the text doesn't display correctly, save the attachment to disk, and then
open it using a viewer that can display the original character set. 

If I change the encoding to PLAIN, things work fine - but I didn't need this
setting when I was using 1.5.3.  Is this a change with ANT?

<daemons> is new in Ant 1.6, so if you can't upgrade, you'd better stop
there.

For Ant 1.5, you may want to try something like:
<parallel>
  <sequential>
   ... start something ...
  </sequential>

  <sequential>
   ... wait for something to start ...
   ... test something ...
   ... shut down something ...
  </sequential>
</parallel>

Hi,

The documentation in the parallel task mentions daemons as a
nested element but does not give an example of its use.

My first feeble attempt looks a bit like this.

    <target name="test" >
      <parallel>
         <daemons>
            <antcall target="start-something" />
         </daemons>
         <sequential>
            <antcall target="test-something" />
         </sequential>
      </parallel>
    </target>

It didn't work.
Can anyone shed some light on Daemons?
I am using Ant 1.5.1 and cannot upgrade so don't suggest it please.

Donald.

Hi EJ,
there are a lot of things which have been changed in Mail and MailLogger 
in ant 1.6 compared with ant 1.5.x.

When you have the mail.jar and activation.jar under $ANT_HOME/lib, ant 
will use the JavaMail implementation of mail.

When you say encoding="plain", it actually means that the plain mail 
implementation of the mail task internal to the ant codebase is used
instead of the JavaMail implementation (Actually, I think that the name 
of this attribute - encoding - is wrong for what it does).

In ant 1.6 it is possible to specify your character set in this case. 
(charset attribute).

Check whether things work also OK in your ant 1.6 installation if you 
add the attribute charset="US-ASCII" for instance, assuming that this 
one is all right for you.
