http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=33764 ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2005-02-28 13:39 ------- I finally tracked the problem down. Seems to have been caused by a combination of Ant's colorful "properties may only be set once" behavior, my own fault for not noticing that the property was already set (to an incorrect value where the space in the filename was not escaped). As well, I had this in the property file: jdk15.home="C:/program files/java/jdk1.5.0_01" Now, ignoring the fact that the space is unescaped, the actual problem is the surrounding quotes around the value. Turns out that when <available> gets that value, it does not interpret the quotes as escaping slashes and spaces. Instead, it just dies with "unable to find path". I'd like to recommend the following for avoid this errors in the future: 1) <available> should allow quotes to escape the value 2) Can you please add some sort of feature whereby Ant fails the build if someone tries overriding the value of a property with a value different than it's already set to? You can make this optional but I am hopeful we can have it enabled by default. It would probably save a lot of people a lot of headaches. -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
