Hi Justin,

sorry, but your question was a little hard to understand which might be the reason, that you got no answer until now.

The reason for your problem is, that ant resolves path-like structures when it is parsing the build.xml - file and drops irrelevant entries. but your path only becomes relevant after you'd unzipped src.zip. (which happens later on execution-time) you can evaluate this as the reason by unzip first (manually) then run ant with your build.xml. (comment out delete and unzip tasks) -> should work as expected.

There are some workarounds:
1. the hard and ugly way: run ant twice (may be controlled by a batch file).
2. more ant-friendy: use <ant>-task for the <javadoc>-task.
3. try the new ant 1.8.2. feature (see snip from manual path-like structures below , i didn't try it out until now)

/"Since Ant 1.8.2/ the location attribute can also contain a wildcard in its last path component (i.e. it can end in a "*") in order to support wildcard CLASSPATHs introduced with Java6. Ant will not expand or evaluate the wildcards and the resulting path may not work as anything else but a CLASSPATH - or even as a CLASSPATH for a Java VM prior to Java6."

hope that helps

cheers

rainer

Subject: RE: difference between unzip task and unzip executable

I started asking this on the user list, but no response, and it seems deeper 
than just incorrect usage. Apologies if that's what it turns out to be.

I've broken it down into a very basic build.xml and single source code file. The 
build.xml has a single target to unzip, and run javadoc. I've attached a bz2 archive 
of the build.xml, the source file, and a -debug log of using the unzip task and 
relying on the src.zip having been expanded with the native OS unzip command before 
running. The single source code file implements the javax.naming.Context interface. 
When run as-is (build-internal-unzip.log) the javadocs do not inherit from 
javax.naming.Context. If you comment out lines 6 and 7 from build.xml and run 'unzip 
-d jdk ${JAVA_HOME}/src.zip' and then build (build-external-unzip.log) the javadocs 
do inherit from javax.naming.Context. I've tried using 'jar xvf ${JAVA_HOME}/src.zip' 
and that has the same result as using the<unzip>  task. The 
javax/naming/Context.java file is the same (compared MD5 checksums) no matter how I 
uncompress src.zip.

Just to eliminate any possibility of file handle closure, disk I/O flushing, etc. I put 
the<unzip>  in a separate target that only does the unzip, ran that target by itself, 
and then ran ant a second time for the javadoc target and it still fails. I don't 
understand what the problem can be when everything says the contents of the files are 
identical. Even if I use the<unzip>  task to put the contents of src.zip in the 'src' 
folder that my source code is in, there's no javadoc inheritance.

Subject: difference between unzip task and unzip executable

I'm trying to get javadoc inheritance working from JDK classes, and what I'm 
finding is if I use

<unzip src="${env.JAVA_HOME}/src.zip dest="${env.BUILD_DIR}/docs/jdk"/>

in my Ant target, the javadoc task ignores that sourcepath entry because it doesn't 
contain any packages matching my packagenames parameter (running with -verbose says it 
"doesn't contain any packages, dropping it"). If I run 'unzip -d 
${BUILD_DIR}/docs/jdk ${JAVA_HOME}/src.zip' in the shell before running Ant (and the 
target just assumes the folder is there) everything works right. I've run a 'diff -qr' on 
the result of both unzip methods and no differences are found, even 'rsync -acv' says 
they're the same
