If all those jars were in ANT_HOME/lib and I installed Ant with
PATH=$ANT_HOME/bin
then why were those classes found when the classpath to the jars wasn't set explicitely.
ANYWAY (IE MOST IMPORTANTLY),
would there be a way to explicitly set the classpath in the following code:
private void doBuild(String name, String vocab){
Project project = new Project(); project.init();
project.setProperty("suite.name" ,name);
String baseDir="/home/DEV/mobile/projects";
File buildFile = new File( baseDir, "QuizPlus.xml");
ProjectHelper.configureProject( project, buildFile);
project.executeTarget("prepare");
project.executeTarget("all");
} As it is, the classes seem not to get picked up correctly when placed in the lib dir.
I guess I am questioning whether this is really the case:
These external libraries may either be placed in Ant's lib directory, where they will be picked up automatically, or made available on the system CLASSPATH environment variable.
Is it possible that they may not get picked up. That seems like what happened to me and I fear if Tomcat won't pick them up automatically.
Do I need to add something to my build file to use optional tasks. The docs don't seem to indicate that but...
I am using a servlet to launch a build file that uses the scp tast.
In TOMCAT_HOME/common/lib I have
ant.jar optional.jar ant-jsch.jar jsch-20030830.jar
Those are also in my ANT_HOME
either way, command line or via my servlet I get:
Could not create task or type of type: scp.
Ant could not find the task or a class this task relies upon.
This is common and has a number of causes; the usual solutions are to read the manual pages then download and
install needed JAR files, or fix the build file: - You have misspelt 'scp'.
Fix: check your spelling.
- The task needs an external JAR file to execute
and this is not found at the right place in the classpath.
Fix: check the documentation for dependencies.
Fix: declare the task.
- The task is an Ant optional task and optional.jar is absent
Fix: look for optional.jar in ANT_HOME/lib, download if needed
- The task was not built into optional.jar as dependent
libraries were not found at build time.
Fix: look in the JAR to verify, then rebuild with the needed
libraries, or download a release version from apache.org
- The build file was written for a later version of Ant
Fix: upgrade to at least the latest release version of Ant
- The task is not an Ant core or optional task and needs to be declared using .
