I do not want to continue to use the below construct because this lists the complete set of jars and the classpath length is going above 14000 characters. Want to shorten it. This is what we are doing at the moment.
Ant should accept wildcard classpath because it is supposed to be implemented in ANT starting with version 1.8.2 according to the documentation. -----Original Message----- From: Welsh, Armand [mailto:awe...@statestreet.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 16, 2013 3:40 PM To: Ant Users List Subject: RE: Which javac does ant use in its "javac" task? I understand this won't answer your question, but why wouldn't you just build your classpath using the path element tag, and let ANT build the fully qualified list instead of using wildcards in the javac classpath? You can do what you want like this: <path id="project.class.path"> <fileset dir="/home/ab/antcode/RAD8ProjectsWAS7Server/StarterWeb/WebContent/WEB-INF/lib" includes="**/*.*"/> <fileset dir="/home/ab/antcode/build/classes" includes="**/*.class"/> <fileset dir="/opt/local/software/websphere/v7/lib" includes="**/*.*" /> <fileset dir="/opt/local/software/websphere/v7/plugins" includes="**/*.*"/> </path> <javac listfiles="true" srcdir="${source.dir}" deprecation="true" debug="true" debuglevel="source,lines"> <classpath refid="project.class.path" /> </javac> >From what I understand about ant, unless you set fork=true, it will use the >internal compiler in the current running jre/jdk, it doesn't actually call the >javac executable on the filesystem. So, in this way, I don't see why the >javac target's classpath should accept wildcards in the classpath since you >aren't using the command line parser of the javac executable. Of course, I don't really know how ant makes the actual javac call I am extrapolating this from what little details do exist in the documentation. -----Original Message----- From: WebServices Development [mailto:webservices_developm...@csx.com] Sent: Tuesday, January 15, 2013 5:40 PM To: Ant Users List Subject: RE: Which javac does ant use in its "javac" task? Thank you. I presume this is answer to my first question - Which javac does ant use? Is it in the ANT code that doesn't process the wildcard classpath? Is this javac class a java compiler class, or just a class that defines ANT's javac task ? If it is a compiler, then does it mean that ANT's javac is having trouble dealing with wildcard classpaths then? Then, What role does JAVA_HOME play when using ANT? Thanks again. -----Original Message----- From: Martin Gainty [mailto:mgai...@hotmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, January 15, 2013 7:00 PM To: Ant Users List Subject: RE: Which javac does ant use in its "javac" task? you will find a javac key in .\org\apache\ant\taskdefs\default.propertiesjavac=org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Javac defaults.properties is wholly contained within ant.jar inside $ANT_HOME\lib\ant.jar Martin ______________________________________________ Verzicht und Vertraulichkeitanmerkung/Note de déni et de confidentialité Diese Nachricht ist vertraulich.
