This is pretty incomplete, a lot of the Ant's own jars are missing. > Here is the first project that fails :- > Apache JMeter > ------------- > (Details of failed build at > http://202.60.90.243:8020/builders/jmeter-trunk/builds/9/steps/shell/logs/st > dio) > The helpful error message I get is :- > Cause: the class org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.ReplaceRegExp was > not found. requires either ant-nodeps.jar for using JDK 1.4+ regexp or ant-apache-oro.jar (given that you have ORO in ANT_HOME/lib). > Cause: the class org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.PropertyFile was not > found. > This looks like one of Ant's optional components. this is in ant-nodeps.jar which you don't have. > Back to these 'optional jars' - is there a place where all of these optional > jars live, so folks can get them all from one place without having to scour > the earth for them. The Ant distribution only contains Ant's own classes, they are not the dependencies required. You may have thought ant-apache-oro.jar and jakarta-oro-2.0.8.jar were the same, but they aren't. ant-apache-oro.jar contains the classes that require ORO, you need both of them in ANT_HOME/lib to make things work. There is a build file called fetch.xml in Ant's svn repo[1] (it is also part of the source distribution, it could even be part of the binary dist, not sure) that will use the Maven Ant tasks to collect all available optional dependencies. Ant does have some optional dependencies on proprietary third party jars that cannot be provided at all. I wouldn't expect any of the projects you build in buildbot to make use of the related tasks, though. > If we can get all the above working great and I end up understanding > what I'm doing, could Ant project benefit from having build tests > and snapshot builds etc run on Buildbot at Apache? I think so. We used to have nightly builds on vmbuild, but I don't think they are available anymore.
