Hi to everybody on the list,
I am forwarding the question I've asked on stackoverflow
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15383099/ant-system-class-loader-does-not-honor-classpath-honors-localclasspath
as I did not have any feedback in several days. I hope I will find an
answer here.
Thanks in advance
------
I am implementing an ant task as a wrapper for another class, which
loads other several classes using the system class loader. Now, the
task is in the same jar of these other classes, so I wonder why it is
not finding them, since the task *is* running
Please notice that my classes are in the `$CLASSPATH` env variable.
The problem will not occur if I `export LOCALCLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH`
Minimal example:
<taskdef name="mytask" classname="my.package.MyTask" />
<target name="compile">
<mytask />
</target>
you can easily see the problem here
public class MyTask extends Task {
public void execute() throws BuildException {
try {
ClassLoader cl = ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader();
// this will only print the ant jar file path
for(URL url: ((URLClassLoader)cl).getURLs()){
log(url.getFile());
}
cl.loadClass("my.package.OtherClass"); // throws an exception
} catch (Exception ex) {
throw new BuildException(ex);
}
}
}
