Beginners question
I have created a build.xml file, and when I run ant, the output is:
[treaves@double teikade]$ ant
Buildfile: build.xml
Project base dir set to: /home/treaves/dev/teikade
Executing Target: init
Executing Target: prepare
Executing Target: compile
Compiling 190 source files to /opt/classes/teikade
Performing a Modern Compile
Completed in 1 seconds
However, no class files are generated. Could someone point me in the
direction I nned to take to correct this? Thanks.

You could try adding
<property name="build.compiler" value="classic"/>
to your build.xml. As mentioned in another message, this wont be
as fast as jikes.

hmmmm
I am using Version Sun JDK 1.3.0 and the 20000627 build and everything runs
fine. The only thing I can suggest is to turn on verbose messages and see
if there is any anomolies and also perhaps send part of it to list
Cheers,

That is what I am using. 20000627. And the same problem happens. With the Sun
1.3 beta. Unless I specify clasic build, no class files are produced.

Same

Egads !!!!!! The source and binary files are from about 2 months ago. Can
someone with access remove ant from tomcat downloads area or at least setup
a script so that it builds it and puts a vaguly new version up every now
and again. No wonder there is so many people confused when using it :P
Timothy,
what this means is that you will have to download the cvs version of ant -
alternatively you can go to
http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/tomcat/nightly/
which seems to have an okay version. Thou I noticed it is not mentioned on
any webpages for ant (or am i mistaken ????).
Cheers,
Pete

Whereabouts did you download it from ?
Also make sure you have write access to directory. Other than that I am not
sure....

Matching behaviour
Posted by Peter Donald <do...@mad.scientist.com>.
Hi,
RE:
**/test/** Matches all files which have a directory 'test' in their path,
including 'test' as a filename.
is it worthwhile removing the "including 'test' as a filename" type
behaviour as it feels non-intuitive to me and it is simple enough to have
another pattern following like
**/test
Thoughts ?
Cheers,
Pete

nope 1.2 aswell (and I assume 1.3 ????)
Why ? Speed - accuracy etc.
I compile close to 300 src files in about 4 seconds with jikes or about
90-100 seconds in classic compile. Jikes is also much more conformiant and
picks up a lot of bugs/features that classic lets through (I think there is
a compiler option for pedantic checking)

Pete

Why jikes? It is my understanding that this is purely a java 1.1 thing. Is
that correct?

Doing this now.
Thanks.

Ack... never mind, the sun was in my eyes and I didn't notice that I forgot
to update my batch file I was running ant with to point to the new version.
False alarm, sorry. :-(

FYI, I just tried it with the latest nightly build 'ant-20000626.zip' and
have the same result as above, i.e. nothing happens for the 'modern'
compiler. If I change build.compiler to classic then things seem to build
properly.

When you say 'downloaded the latest', is that the latest release, or the
latest CVS source? There is a significant difference...

I have downloaded the latest ant, and the result is the same. And by the way,
I am using SDK 1.3, so modern should be fine.

well depends on when you got the ant distribution. Older version simply
ignored modern compile so you will have to do one of following
* get jikes (recomended) and change compiler property to jikes
* get new version of ant (also recomended)
* use classic compile via setting property (very slow but you don't have to
download anything more)
