Jar files doesn't understand inner class

[Carlos Quiroz <ca...@rtse.com>]

Hi I'm trying to use the jar task to create an applet distribution and
I'm using a file to feed the classes names to the jar task. However the
task doesn't take inner classes as <class>$<inner>.class, for example
with my file like this:

ui/ImageCanvas.class
client/TickerPanel.class
client/TickerPanel$1.class
client/SettingsPanel.class

It correctly jars the first two and last files but not the
TickerPanel$1.class

Any idea, is this a bug or just Am I doing something wrong?

Mys system:

Windows 2000
Sun's JDK 1.3
Ant 1.3

The task is like this

	<target name="applet-jar" depends="applet-dep">
		<jar jarfile="${html.dir}/client.jar">
			<fileset dir="${resources.dir}/images"
includes="**/*.gif"/>
      		<fileset dir="${build.dir}"
includesfile="${build.dir}/dep.txt"/>
		</jar>
	</target>

I tried feeding directly the file to the jar but it is the same

Jar files doesn't understand inner classCan you try to modify the file that it reads

...
client/TickerPanel$$1.class
...

Maybe it's just the problem that Ant tries to handle $-things as a property and they need to be escaped normally (using a double-$).

Some concepts are quite different between Ant and make and unless you
adapt to Ant's way (at least a little), you probably won't become too
happy with Ant.

The best way would probably be to write a custom task to do this in
one step.  Otherwise, do something like

<target name="check">
  <available file="triggering-file" property="file-is-there" />
</target>

<target name="do" depends="check" if="file-is-there">
  do blah blah blah
</target>

Several options are available

The built-in one: Use <ant> and hardcode the locations of all subbuild
files.

The preprocessor option: Autogenerate your top level build file by
some means (which will then use <ant> and hardcoded names) - see
M.J.P. van Leeuwen's Configure (link at
<http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/external.html>) for a way to do this.

The <anton> or <foreach> option: Ant2 will have a task named <anton>
that can invoke the same target in a couple of build files (specified
using patterns) - maybe the very next version of Ant will already have
something similar.  Tim Vernum has written a Task named <foreach> that
does the same, you can find it in the archives of the ant-dev list.

I'm not familiar enough with make to know what a rules file might be.
As far as including is concerned, a very rudimentary approach is
described here <http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/faq.html#xml-entity-include>.

Newbie question

[M Nair <ma...@mediaone.net>]

Hello!

I come from the "make" school of building a system and have a few
questions on how the same could be achieved using ant.
(a) In Make, I could use the if [ -r *.xyz ] do blah blah blah...How can

I do the same using ant?
(b) How can I set ant up so that one can simulate the recursive make?
(c) I have a rules.mk when I build stuff using Make - how can one
include an ant rules file(if one can be created) ? Basically what I have

in my rules file is how to process certain files based on a sequence.

TIA

Try to escape the $ with yet another $ as Ant interprets this as the
start of a property expansion.

client/TickerPanel$$1.class

Does this work?
