Hi, I am attempting the run the following ant script:
<project name="MyProject" basedir="."> <description> simple example build file </description> <target name="compile" description="compile the source" > <javac srcdir="common" destdir="common"/> </target> </project> where common is a directory under the root directory (containing the build.xml file) that contains some java source files. When I run the script with the debug option i get the following output: -------------------------------------------------------------------------start clip Apache Ant version 1.6.5 compiled on June 2 2005 Buildfile: build.xml Adding reference: ant.PropertyHelper Detected Java version: 1.4 in: C:\Program Files\IBM\Java142\jre Detected OS: Windows XP Adding reference: ant.ComponentHelper Setting ro project property: ant.version -> Apache Ant version 1.6.5compiled on June 2 2005 Setting ro project property: ant.file -> C:\testoutput\build.xml Adding reference: ant.projectHelper Adding reference: ant.parsing.context Adding reference: ant.targets parsing buildfile C:\testoutput\build.xml with URI = file:///C:/testoutput/build .xml Setting ro project property: ant.project.name <http://ant.project.name> -> MyProject Adding reference: MyProject Setting ro project property: ant.file.MyProject -> C:\testoutput\build.xml Project base dir set to: C:\testoutput +Target: +Target: compile Attempting to create object of type org.apache.tools.ant.helper.DefaultExecutor Adding reference: ant.executor -----------------------------------------------------------------------------end clip no attempt seems to compile the files and indeed no class files are created. if i run the command javac common\*.java from the root directory it works ok. I have the following env. variables set: JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\IBM\Java142 ANT_HOME=C:\apache-ant-1.6.5 I assume it must be something quite fundamental but the fact that i see javac run independently and Ant is invoked, I can't think what. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Andy
