jikes and extdirs problem
hi,
are there known issues with ant and jikes with respect to the use of
extdirs? I have a buildfile that works with javac but doesn't with jikes.
it seems to be related to requiring the libraries in a certain order. I
noticed that ant puts jaxp.jar in the classpath upon compilation (btw why
is that). with jikes it puts those in front of the libraries I specified
via extdirs which results in compile errors because I rely on DOM level 2
in xerces.
AFAIK the libraries specified in the extdirs should come first (and do with
javac). is this a known bug? is there a workaround for this?
TIA,
robert

that's correct but ant is smart enough to know that and instead puts the
jars and zips form the extdirs into the classpath. all I'm saying is that
it doesn't do it correctly (see previous posting). compiling with jikes and
javac leads to different results, which shouldn't be happening (except for
the speed difference ;-).

thanks a lot. so do I interprete this correctly that is IS a known bug and
what you're proposing is a workaround that basically does what ant should
be doing?

jikes and extdirs problem
Posted by Jochen Strunk <st...@signal7.de>.
Hi,
the CVS version of addExtdirsToClasspath in the javac task does not seem to
work at all.
The following fixed it for me, probably not very nice though:
--- Javac.java~ Mon Sep 18 07:41:17 2000
+++ Javac.java Tue Sep 19 10:59:39 2000
@@ -749,7 +749,7 @@

FileSet fs = new FileSet();
fs.setDir(dir);
- fs.setIncludes(dirs[i]+"*");
+ fs.setIncludes("*.jar *.zip");
classpath.addFileset(fs);
}
}
Best regards,
jochen

RK> yes it does.
OK, checked the tool docs myself. Fixed the order for jikes and jvc in
CVS.

yes it does. I just doublechecked. when jikes is used it appends the jars
and zips from the extdirs to the classpath instead of prepending them,
which leads to a different behaviour between javac and jikes.
>What is the order one would expect?
if javac is the reference implementation IMHO the order of the constructed
jikes classpath should be different than it is now.

I just checked the jdk tool docs again. It is like I said. Extension
classes are to be found before user classes specified in the classpath
(bootstrap, extension, user). So the way ant simulates that with jikes is
simply wrong.

Well, I'm not actually sure. What would be the right thing? Ant uses
the following order:
* bootclasspath only if using jikes/jvc.
* destdir
* classpath specified for this task (either via attribute or nested
element).
* System classpath, i.e. the CLASSPATH this Ant instance has been
invoked with.
* Runtime classes classes.zip or rt.jar only if using jikes/jvc.
* extdirs only if using jikes/jvc.
* sourcedir unless using javac in >= JDK 1.2
* the content of the environment variable JIKESPATH if using jikes.
I don't know where command line javac puts the extdirs, your
observation indicates it comes between bootclasspath and the classpath
specified on the command line.
What is the order one would expect?

I don't think so - AFAIK jikes doesn't support the "-extdirs" option.
