Re: running tasks without a target actually works?

[Peter Reilly]

Since ant 1.6.0, tasks can live outside targets.

These tasks always get run before target resolution - hence
your error line.

I assume that you did ant javadoc.
The javadoc task would get run, then the target "javadoc" would be looked
for, and not being found, ant emits the error statement.

I was whipping up a temporary build file to run javadoc against some source that
I had no API documentation for.  When I wrote it up, I didn't realize that I
added the <javadoc> stuff, but didn't actually wrap it in a target.  I ran it
and it actually worked, but then Ant reported....

 [javadoc] 132 warnings

BUILD FAILED
Target `javadoc' does not exist in this project.

The API docs were actually generated.  This seems pretty weird.  Here's a
generic example of what the build file looked like that ought to have been
invalid, but worked...

<project name="blah" basedir=".">

 <javadoc
          destdir="docs/api"
          author="true"
          version="true"
          use="true"
          windowtitle="Test API">

   <packageset dir="src" defaultexcludes="yes">
     <include name="com/dummy/test/**" />
     <exclude name="com/dummy/test/doc-files/**"/>
   </packageset>

   <doctitle><![CDATA[<h1>Test</h1>]]></doctitle>
   <bottom><![CDATA[<i>Copyright &#169; 2000 Dummy Corp. All Rights
Reserved.</i>]]></bottom>
   <tag name="todo" scope="all" description="To do:" />
   <group title="Group 1 Packages" packages="com.dummy.test.a*"/>
   <group title="Group 2 Packages"
packages="com.dummy.test.b*:com.dummy.test.c*"/>
   <link offline="true" href="http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/docs/api/";
packagelistLoc="C:\tmp"/>
   <link
href="http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/products/xml/docs/api/"/>
 </javadoc>

</project>

Shouldn't this have failed outright?
