Hello, This is my first post to this list (predictably, it's a problem), but I'll try to give back now that I'm subscribed. Please forgive and educate me on matters of etiquette.
I'm running the following script on AIX 5.2 with ant 1.7 but the same occurs with ant 1.6.5. Java is 1.5.0 but also occurs with 1.4.2. The problem does not occur on Linux or Solaris. (I'm resisting the urge to diss on a commercial OS) <project name="Concat" basedir="." default="dist" > <property name="temp.dir" value="/tmp/alec" /> <property name="alecfile" location="/tmp/alec/alec.src" /> <target name="dist"> <concat destfile="/tmp/alec/alec.txt" encoding="utf-8" fixlastline="yes" > <fileset file="${alecfile}"/> </concat> </target> </project> If the file alec.src does not exist, then all works as expected. If the file does exist, you get the following trace: sevr6401[41]$ ant -f alec.xml -debug Apache Ant version 1.7.0 compiled on December 13 2006 Buildfile: alec.xml Adding reference: ant.PropertyHelper Detected Java version: 1.5 in: /data/install/sasasf/jre1.5/jre Detected OS: AIX Adding reference: ant.ComponentHelper Setting ro project property: ant.file -> /tmp/alec/alec.xml Adding reference: ant.projectHelper Adding reference: ant.parsing.context Adding reference: ant.targets parsing buildfile /tmp/alec/alec.xml with URI = file:/tmp/alec/alec.xml Setting ro project property: ant.project.name -> Concat Adding reference: Concat Setting ro project property: ant.file.Concat -> /tmp/alec/alec.xml Project base dir set to: /tmp/alec +Target: +Target: dist [antlib:org.apache.tools.ant] Could not load definitions from resource org/apache/tools/ant/antlib.xml.
