Re: difference between unzip task and unzip executable

Hi Justin, sorry, but your question was a little hard to understand which might be the reason, that you got no answer until now. The reason for your problem is, that ant resolves path-like structures when it is parsing the build.xml - file and drops irrelevant entries. but your path only beco

Hi Dean, ${} refers to the value of a property. if / unless attributes refers to the existence (i.e. name) of a property. IMHO, the different notation is reasonable. However, this syntax and behaviour is pointed out explicitely in the manual: ->Using Ant->Targets Cheers Rainer -Ursprüngli

This will not work. The only way to use another vm (resp. bootstrap classes) is to fork a new system process outside the current one. Cheers Rainer > -Original Message- > From: Jose Noheda [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, August 30, 2006 12:22 PM > To: dev@ant.apache.org >

RE: classloader and delegating classloader problem

2006-08-22 Thread Rainer Noack
Should work, but these issues typically require manipulation of the System Classloader (resp. User-Classloader). In Ant, this is the Launcher's Classloader whereas oata.Main, oata.Project and the rest are loaded via a System Classloader's childloader. As discussed in this list some years ago, it m

AFAIK there is no proposed schedule for 1.7 right now. Some time ago, it was proposed for Q2/Q3 2005. However, IMHO there is no need for a nippy new release. There are some major changes in the trunk (ResourceCollection, ...) and I think it's a good idea to give them some more time for integratio

Hi Max, not surprising. getProject().createClassLoader(classPath) creates a new AntClassLoader with the given classpath and set CoreLoader (which is usually null) as it's parent(Same as ). AntClassLoader uses System.getClassloader() as it's default parent unless you set another parent loader expl

Peter, sounds reasonable. ad 1) I've not much experience with non-Sun jvms/jres. However, referring sun.* classes in a task might not be a good practice. But isn't moving report-function to the optional category just a cosmetic operation? What do you think about moving the functionality "getBootst

What do you think about a task ?

Hi Ant developers, After taskdef supports the loaderref attribute, I've written a task that is able to a) append classpath entries to existing classloaders, b) explicitely create classloaders, c) put the actual path of a classloader into a property and d) log a simple report about the currentl
