http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=42962 Summary: example of path embedded in copy task does not work Product: Ant Version: 1.7.0 Platform: PC OS/Version: other Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: Core tasks AssignedTo: dev@ant.apache.org ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have a path defined in my build.xml that I use as my classpath. Later when I'm building a WAR file, I want to copy all the jars in that path to a temporary directory so the war task can include them in the WEBINF/lib. Here are the relevant parts of my build.xml. <path id="build.classpath"> <pathelement location="${log4j.jar}"/> <pathelement location="${xfaces.jar}"/> ...several additional JARs... </path> ... <target name="war" depends="compile"> <mkdir dir="${asm}"/> <copy todir="${asm}" flatten="true" verbose="true"> <path> <pathelement path="build.classpath"/> </path> </copy> ... I'm running Ant with the -v flag and I get no debug output from the copy command. The ${asm} directory is created but no files are copied to it. This seems like a common operation when creating a WAR. It would be nice war's lib subtask would allow a path to be specified rather than having to copy it to a temp directory first and then specifying a fileset. By the way, the example in the online documentation for the copy task shows the path being referenced like a property (i.e. path="${mypath}" rather than path="mypath"). This is not correct and if I try it that way Ant correctly complains that property "mypath" does not exist. -- 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]
