Hi,
Hi,
I am using ANT (1.6.5) for building and running my project. I could see that ant uses xerces parser. I am also using xerces parser in my code, for which I have got my own xerces jar. Finally I can have only one xerces.jar in class path.
If you are using Java5+ I think xerces comes with the jdk as well - Ant ships with xerces for <java5 users
Also there are lots of ant libraries under lib directory. Do I need to all all of them to class path
In general for anyone using ant, we say *DO NOT SET A CLASSPATH VARIABLE*. Setting CLASSPATH seems to cause so many problems. For testing your application use <junit> task with an embedded <classpath> element - this way you can control your classpath without messing with environment variables
Similarly some of 3rd party libraries are using ant tasks that are coming with their distribution. So I have decided to keep all this third party libraries separately. For that I need following information. I did search on net, but couldn't get much info. It will be great, If you can point/give me to this info. 1. List of 3rd party dependencies that ant has (like xerces...) 2. Compatibility among the different versions of Ant 3. Also there are lots of ant libraries under lib directory. Do I need to all of them to class path for any specific feature?
1. http://ant.apache.org/manual/install.html#librarydependencies (these are for the optional tasks - this page is fairly easy to find) 3. Each of the optional tasks tends to ship with an ant-*.jar library (for example ant-junit.jar - these libraries are interfaces to the dependent jars eg ant-junit.jar is required for junit). By default any jar in ANT_HOME/lib is automatically on your classpath when running Ant, you don't need to add these to an environment variable (system wide) classpath http://ant.apache.org/problems.html Kev --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
