using telnet in ant 1.6.1

 
 
Hi
 
I have been using ant 1.5.4 and telnet task just fine in MS Windows. I
upgraded to ANT 1.6.1 and my telnet task fails:
 
C:\dev\build\remoteTarget.xml:207: Could not create task or type of typo
 
Ant could not find the task or a class this task relies upon.
 
This is common and has a number of causes; the usual
solutions are to read the manual pages then download and
install needed JAR files, or fix the build file:
 - You have misspelt 'telnet'.
   Fix: check your spelling.
 - The task needs an external JAR file to execute
   and this is not found at the right place in the classpath.
   Fix: check the documentation for dependencies.
   Fix: declare the task.
 - The task is an Ant optional task and optional.jar is absent
   Fix: look for optional.jar in ANT_HOME/lib, download if needed
............................
......................
 
 
I copied optional.jar and netComponents.jar to ANT_HOME/lib but result
did not change. The jars are old as ANT 1.5.4. Would that matter? Or
Should I declare the task too? 
 
Thanks for any insight you may offer,
 
Artemis

If in MacroDef?

Posted by Pawanraj Sadhwani <pa...@elitecore.com>.
Hi,

I have a set of tasks repeating in the build file. uptil ant 1.5 i was using
the antcall with a parameter passed to a common task i had written.

In case of that target, i was using a if="foo" to allow for conditional
execution.

can similar thing be achieved using a macro? I refactored the common task
into a macro. now, when i call the macro, i would like an 'if' for the
execution. how to do it?

code snippet is:

<target name="do-all">
  <antcall target="do1" />
  <antcall target="do2" />
</target>

<target name="do1" if="do1.present">
  <antcall target="commondo">
    <param name="foo" value="1" />
  </antcall>
</target>

<target name="do2" if="do2.present">
  <antcall target="commondo">
    <param name="foo" value="2" />
  </antcall>
</target>

I could achieve what i want to by keeping antcalls in do-all and using macro
in do1 and do2.

However, I have a lot of antcalls in do-all which i dont like. Is it
possible to use if in the macro so i could replace ant-calls in do-all
target?

Thanx

Maven style dependency list in Ant

Posted by Jens Riboe <je...@ribomation.com>.
Hi,

I've recently jumped off the Maven band-wagon, because it imposes too much
extra work every time one has do something non-standard, etc... more 
reasons...

Anyway, there are indeed some good thoughts in it, IMHO, and I which to 
continue
use these in Ant. I really appreciate the dependency/download idea and 
the report/site
generation support.

I bite the bullet and hacked a dependency list Ant task.
Here is a snippet showing what you can do

<dependencylist dir="${build.dir}/cache">
    <repositorylist>
        <localrepository dir="${repo.dir}"/>
        <mavenrepository url="http://www.ibiblio.org/maven/"/>
    </repositorylist>

    <dependency>
        <id>JakartaBeanUtils</id>
        <groupId>commons-beanutils</groupId>
        <artifactId>commons-beanutils</artifactId>
        <version>1.6.1</version>
        <url>http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/beanutils/</url>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <id>foo</id>
        <groupId>com.ribomation</groupId>
        <artifactId>foobar</artifactId>
        <version>1.0</version>
    </dependency>
</dependencylist>

More info can be found at
        http://www.ribomation.com/riboutils/DependencyList/

Comments/suggestions/complaints are welcome.

BTW. I still use Maven's report/site generation, and will continue that, 
until I either find
an Ant task with similar capability or implemented my own. Anyone 
knowing about ongoing
effort to mimic report/site generation in Ant?

Cheers,

RE: using telnet in ant 1.6.1

Posted by Pawanraj Sadhwani <pa...@elitecore.com>.
you probably need commons-net-1.2.0.jar in your lib.

I faced the same problem with FTP task on upgrading to 1.6.1 from 1.5.3. 

Ant uses the FTP, Telnet from commons-net-1.2.0.jar.
