Hi All
I'm not sure if this is a bug, or just works as it should:
but when using ant to invoke the java runtime compiler
com.sun.tools.javac.Main this fails if ant is loaded from a parent
ClassLoader to tools.jar even though tools.jar is in the current context
classloader for the thread.
It fails in finding the compiler:->
>From CompilerAdapterFactory:
----
private static boolean doesModernCompilerExist() {
try {
Class.forName(MODERN_COMPILER);
return true;
} catch (ClassNotFoundException cnfe) {
try {
ClassLoader cl =
CompilerAdapterFactory.class.getClassLoader();
if (cl != null) {
cl.loadClass(MODERN_COMPILER);
return true;
}
} catch (ClassNotFoundException cnfe2) {
// Ignore Exception
}
}
return false;
}
, which is pretty much a nonsense implementation as
Class.forName('') is the same as
CompilerAdapterFactory.class.getClassLoader().loadClass('')
both will fail or both will succeed.
but why not use the Thread.currentThread.getContextClassLoader()
That would lead to the most flexible solution.
Regards
Hans Lund
