Ya know it looks like you need to hand in literals like "-Dlang.dir=some/dir"
So your ant script probably needs this 'kind of' thing:
<param value="-Dlang.dir=some/dir"/>
Obviously replace qith variables and apppropriate values like this kind of
thing:
<param value="-Dlang.dir=${dir}"/>

while trying to build automatic translations ("build-lang") </div><div>
</div>Hi, thanks a lot for your feedback. I tried to use ${file.separator} as
separator, but it unfortunately did not solve the issue. What you explained
however helps me to move a bit forward, I know it's not this / vs \ isse at
least. I tried both methods, but ended up with the same
illegalArgumentException.
The code you found is the one being called indeed (it just seems to be
version 6.1.0 used here):
http://grepcode.com/file/repo1.maven.org/maven2/com.liferay.portal/portal-impl/6.1.0/com/liferay/portal/tools/LangBuilder.java/
This is coming with LiferayPortal CE 6.1 (I checked however if they updated
/ corrected anything there, but it seems newer versions (6.2 etc) have
exactly the same code:
public static void main(String[] args) {
Map<String, String> arguments = ArgumentsUtil.parseArguments(args);
System.setProperty("line.separator", StringPool.NEW_LINE);
InitUtil.initWithSpring();
String langDir = arguments.get("lang.dir");
String langFile = arguments.get("lang.file");
boolean langPlugin = GetterUtil.getBoolean(
arguments.get("lang.plugin"));
boolean langTranslate = GetterUtil.getBoolean(
arguments.get("lang.translate"), true);
try {
new LangBuilder(langDir, langFile, langPlugin, langTranslate);
}
catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
The very first line seems to be throwing the exception :
ArgumentsUtil.parseArguments(args);
http://grepcode.com/file/repo1.maven.org/maven2/com.liferay.portal/portal-impl/6.1.0/com/liferay/portal/tools/ArgumentsUtil.java
public static Map<String, String> parseArguments(String[] args) {
Map<String, String> arguments = new ArgumentsMap();
for (String arg : args) {
int pos = arg.indexOf('=');
if (pos <= 0) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Bad argument " + arg);
}
String key = arg.substring(0, pos).trim();
String value = arg.substring(pos + 1).trim();
if (key.startsWith("-D")) {
key = key.substring(2);
System.setProperty(key, value);
}
else {
arguments.put(key, value);
}
}
return arguments;
}
I indeed get this exact error message "Bad Argument " and then the folder I
passed, no matter if I use /, \ or the ${file.separator}.
So it seems it's searching for a "=" sign but according to the
documentation, I am just supposed to put a directory name there.
I tried to start the argument with -D=(then my path) but it crashed, so I
tried to add some stuff after like -DIR=(then my path) (I could have put
-Dinosaur etc.) it seems and then it passed but crashed at the next
argument for same reason. It seems actually that Liferay changed the
translation system from Babelfish to Bing and that parameters changed. My
book (Liferay in Action) is still based on these parameters from before
this change, and I guess they added this "=" stuff afterwards.
So it's a Liferay issue, I could go till the end of this thanks to your
help, I was supposing the issue was coming from these / and \ problem.
Thanks a lot for your help
