Very basic newby problem?
Hi,
I am attempting the run the following ant script:
<project name="MyProject" basedir=".">
<description>
simple example build file
</description>
<target name="compile" description="compile the source" >
<javac srcdir="common" destdir="common"/>
</target>
</project>
where common is a directory under the root directory (containing the
build.xml file) that contains some java source files.
When I run the script with the debug option i get the following output:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------start

Apache Ant version 1.6.5 compiled on June 2 2005

no attempt seems to compile the files and indeed no class files are created.
if i run the command javac common\*.java from the root directory it works
ok.
I have the following env. variables set:
JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\IBM\Java142
ANT_HOME=C:\apache-ant-1.6.5
I assume it must be something quite fundamental but the fact that i see
javac run independently and Ant is invoked, I can't think what.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Andy

When you invoke ant with no arguments, it looks for a file called
build.xml in the working directory. So build.xml needs to come out of
common and into the working directory. The relaitive paths that you have
in the javac task are correct if the build file is up one level (working
dir).
Try this and see how you get on,
Barry
