I hope this is a quick question: I'm trying to compile some java code that uses a few of the optional tasks in ant.
I thought when I had downloaded the ant binary distribution, it would include the optional tasks; however, I can't seem to get at them. And the documentation is oddly silent - all kinds of things about how to use the tasks, but not a word about what to do when they can't be found... Does anybody have some documentation I can read on what I need to do to fix ant so it can find the optional tasks? Thanks. Here's what I get when I run 'ant -diagnostics' ------- Ant diagnostics report ------- Apache Ant version 1.7.1 compiled on June 27 2008 ------------------------------------------- Implementation Version ------------------------------------------- core tasks : 1.7.1 optional tasks : not available ------------------------------------------- ANT PROPERTIES ------------------------------------------- ant.version: Apache Ant version 1.7.1 compiled on June 27 2008 ant.java.version: 1.5 ant.core.lib: /usr/share/java/ant-1.7.1.jar ant.home: /usr/share/ant ------------------------------------------- ANT_HOME/lib jar listing ------------------------------------------- ant.home: /usr/share/ant ant-jai.jar (21348 bytes) ant-antlr.jar (5752 bytes) ant-starteam.jar (35355 bytes) ant-1.7.1.jar (1323005 bytes) ant-jdepend.jar (8132 bytes) ant-apache-oro.jar (39627 bytes) ant-trax.jar (6881 bytes) ant-apache-regexp.jar (3762 bytes) ant-jmf.jar (6593 bytes) ant-jsch.jar (30797 bytes) ant-apache-bsf.jar (3939 bytes) ant-netrexx.jar (9881 bytes) ant-swing.jar (6738 bytes) xercesImpl.jar (1223877 bytes) ant-apache-bcel.jar (8611 bytes) ant-stylebook.jar (2330 bytes) ant-javamail.jar (6998 bytes) ant-launcher-1.7.1.jar (12143 bytes) ant-junit.jar (93518 bytes) ant-commons-net.jar (47026 bytes) ant-commons-logging.jar (3910 bytes) ant-weblogic.jar (14205 bytes) ant-apache-log4j.jar (3056 bytes) ant.jar (1323005 bytes) xml-apis.jar (194354 bytes) ant-nodeps.jar (431580 bytes) ant-testutil.jar (14941 bytes) ant-launcher.jar (12143 bytes) ant-apache-resolver.jar (4071 bytes) ------------------------------------------- USER_HOME/.ant/lib jar listing ------------------------------------------- user.home: /afs/americas.sgi.com/users/ttelford No such directory. ------------------------------------------- Tasks availability ------------------------------------------- <snip> - lots of output; not overly useful, I think A great deal is listed here, the error is always the same: (the implementation class is not present) A task being missing/unavailable should only matter if you are trying to use it ------------------------------------------- org.apache.env.Which diagnostics ------------------------------------------- Not available.
