Build Failed Error

[Nirmal Fernando <ni...@gmail.com>]

Hi All,

Up to today I was able to compile and build derby from source without
any problem. But suddenly I got an Build fail message, which I pasted
below.

BUILD FAILED
C:\OtherNirmal\GSoC\Code\build.xml:1329: Unable to rename old file (C:\OtherNirm
al\GSoC\Code\jars\sane\derby.jar) to temporary file

So, I deleted all the jars inside sane and tried to build, and it was
successful.

But it is annoying to delete all the jars every time I perform a build.

I would be grateful if some one can help me.

Thank you very much.

 I did not close Eclipse IDE it was running until now, and just now I
closed it to check whether it is the case, but still I am getting that
error message.

I experienced this several time after this error occurred, that is
sometimes I forgot to exit ij before trying to delete jars, which gave
me an error.

I did a bit investigation on this, by deleting jars one by one as in
order they give me that particular error. But not sure whether it will
useful to give me an exact reason/ possible reasons.

Jars needed to delete:

derby.jar
derbytools.jar
derbynet.jar
derbyclient.jar
derbyrun.jar


Thanks,

Hi Nirmal,

The only thing that makes sense is that you somehow still had a
process open that was using derby.jar. (Perhaps a network server
process from within an IDE running a test?) And that you released the
process - perhaps by closing your IDE? - or it finished some other way
before you tried deleting (or you shouldn't have been able to delete
the derby.jar).

I started seeing this in my environment when I moved from using classes 
in my classpath to  jars. This was a good switch to catch jar specific 
failures, but somehow it seemed the build was accessing the jars while 
trying to build them.  Since then I have been building with a script 
that removes the jars first before building them.  I  just   confirmed 
that I still see the error with my classpath if I do not remove the jars 
first.

.;C:\cygwin\svn4\trunk\jars\sane/derbyrun.jar;C:\cygwin\svn4\trunk\jars\sane\derbyTesting.jar;C:\cygwin\svn4\trunk\tools\java\junit.jar;C:\cygwin\svn4\trunk/tools/java/jakarta-oro-2.0.8.jar

I am not sure if this is a bug with the build or if you just have to do 
the cleanup first.  It would be nice if somehow the buildjars target 
could remove them first to avoid the error.
