http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=38914 Summary: ant -p doesn't display targets correctly when CLASSPATH="" Product: Ant Version: 1.6.5 Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows XP Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: Core AssignedTo: dev@ant.apache.org ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED] OS: Cmd line prompt on Windows XP Home, SP1 Other environment variables: ANT_HOME=C:\apache-ant-1.6.5 JAVA_HOME=C:\jdk1.5.0_04 JBOSS_HOME=C:\jboss-4.0.3SP1 JBOSS_HOME_OLD=C:\jboss-4.0.2 JDK_HOME=C:\jdk1.5.0_04 Path=C:\apache-ant-1.6.5\bin;C:\jdk1.5.0_04\bin;C:\Perl\bin\;c:\My Program Files\mks\mksnt;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adaptec Shared\System;c:\My Program Files\cwibin;"C:\Program Files\Norton SystemWorks\Norton Ghost\";C:\apache-ant-1.6.5\bin;C:\jdk1.5.0_04\bin;C:\Perl\bin\;c:\My Program Files\mks\mksnt;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adaptec Shared\System;c:\My Program Files\cwibin;"C:\Program Files\Norton SystemWorks\Norton Ghost\";C:\apache-ant-1.6.5\bin;. Build.xml file: --------------- BEG build.xml --------- <project default="compile"> <target name="init" description="initialization stuff"> <echo>FAKE init step</echo> </target> <target name="compile" description="compile java stuff step" depends="init"> <echo>FAKE compile step</echo> </target> </project> --------------- END build.xml --------- Repeat by: 1. "ant -p" WORKS set classpath="c:\jdk1.5.0_04\lib\tools.jar" set classpath CLASSPATH="c:\jdk1.5.0_04\lib\tools.jar" ant -p // works.. displays the 2 targets --------- BEG ANT OUTPUT ----------------- Buildfile: build.xml Main targets: compile compile java stuff step init initialization stuff Default target: compile --------- END ANT OUTPUT ----------------- 2. "ant -p" FAILS set classpath="" set classpath CLASSPATH="" ant -p // fails.. actually runs the echo steps inside the ant file --------- BEG ANT OUTPUT ----------------- Buildfile: build.xml init: [echo] FAKE init step compile: [echo] FAKE compile step BUILD SUCCESSFUL Total time: 0 seconds --------- END ANT OUTPUT ----------------- 3. INTERESTING OBSERVATION. (another ant option broken) When CLASSPATH="", then ant -? fails to display help usage, and behaves like I typed "ant" to run a build. So when CLASSPATH="", not only is "ant -p" flawed, but so is "ant -?" command. 4. MY QUESTION FOR THE ANT DEVELOPERS: So maybe ant should look at the CLASSPATH env string manually to see if it looks reasonable ?? Or do some API call that could indirectly tell if the tools.jar is in the classpath? (The code in the commons logging API appears to do something like this.. but I am confused by it..it is too advanced stuff for me ). I was reading on the web somewhere that ant requires the tools.jar file in the classpath.. well, if this is the case.. why doesn't ant complain when CLASSPATH="" , since tools.jar is not there ??? Hmmm... strange ... indeed. 5. PS: I checked the book: "Ant - The definitive Guide" 2nd edition of book (page 3), and they don't mention anything about setting the CLASSPATH enviroment variable .... -- 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]
