You list a depends="jar" which tells ant to find a target named "jar"
and run it before it runs the target named "run"
I suspect that you do not have a target named "jar" defined.
The java task accepts nested arg elements.
Here's a working example:
<java classname="com.foo.management.metadata.MetaMgrMain"
classpath="${launcher.jar.file}" fork="true"
dir="${config.lev.logs.configure.dir}" failonerror="false"
outputproperty="@{outputproperty}" resultproperty="@{resultproperty}">
<jvmarg
value="-Dapp.launch.config=${metamgr.jar.picklist}" />
<jvmarg
value="-Dapp.repository.path=${install.vjr.repository.path}" />
<arg value="-method" />
<arg value="createRepository" />
<arg value="-host" />
<arg value="@{host}" />
<arg value="-port" />
<arg value="@{port}" />
<arg value="-user" />
<arg value="@{user}" />
<arg value="-password" />
<arg value="@{password}" />
<arg value="-reposName" />
<arg value="@{reposname}" />
<arg value="-reposPath" />
<arg value="@{repospath}" />
<arg value="-reposEngine" />
<arg value="BASE" />
<arg value="-reposType" />
<arg value="@{repostype}" />
<arg value="-reposAccess" />
<arg value="Online" />
<arg value="-reposIsCM" />
<arg value="@{reposiscm}" />
<arg value="@{reposDependencyList}" />
</java>

Subject: Re: new ant user - trying to run java cmd
Hi,
I've tried the following:
after: <property name="jar.name"
value="${build}/SIP_HostSimulators_${RunwayVersion}.jar" />
I write:
<target name="run" depends="jar" description="run the Main class">
<java jar="${jar.name}" fork="true"/>
</target>
but this returns:
BUILD FAILED
C:\myProjects\runway_core\guitools\sims\build.xml:153: Problem: failed
to create task or type target
Cause: The name is undefined.
Action: Check the spelling.
Action: Check that any custom tasks/types have been declared.
Action: Check that any <presetdef>/<macrodef> declarations have taken
place.
where's the correct place to insert it in the build file? how do I
manage the parameters "-cfg/simulators.cfg"?
Thanks,
Tri
