http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20144 Javadoc task running with cygwin [EMAIL PROTECTED] changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEW |RESOLVED Resolution| |INVALID ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-05-22 20:18 ------- cygwin is not really an operating system; rather it is an application suite running under Windows and providing some UNIX like functionality. AFAIK, Sun did not create any specific Java Development Kit or Java Runtime Environment for cygwin. See this link : http://www.inonit.com/cygwin/faq/ . Only Windows path names are supported by JDK and JRE tools under Windows or cygwin. Relative path names such as "src/org/apache/tools" are supported, but Java tools do not understand /cygdrive/c to mean c:\. So I would resolve this as invalid, because the problem is not ant, but the absence of specific Java environment for cygwin. The utility cygpath (used industrially in the ant script to support cygwin) can convert cygwin path names to Windows. You can use the <exec/> task in ant to convert cygwin paths to Windows path, for instance like that : <project name="cygpath"> <property name="some.cygwin.path" value="/cygdrive/h/somepath"/> <exec executable="cygpath" outputproperty="windows.pathname"> <arg value="--windows"/> <arg value="${some.cygwin.path}"/> </exec> <echo message="${windows.pathname}"/> </project> A request to create a task or to extend <pathconvert/> to support cygwin is thinkable, I am not sure though whether it would be OK.
