Hi, Thanks, I think that is the way to go. I can get it to work though as the compiler does not find the needed classes. I checked the generated jar it looks correct. The paths are all Relative, is that OK ?
Compilation fails because it can't resolve many classes, follow a snipped of my build.xml. <delete file="="${basedir}/out.jar" failonerror="false" /> <local name="mine-classpath" /> <manifestclasspath property="mine-classpath" jarfile="${basedir}" > <classpath refid="@{classpathref}"/> </manifestclasspath> <jar destfile="${basedir}/out.jar"> <manifest> <attribute name="Implementation-Title" value="${ant.project.name}" /> <attribute name="Class-Path" value="${mine-classpath}"/> </manifest> </jar> [..] <javac srcdir="@{src}" encoding="UTF-8" source="@{sourceVersion}" target="@{destinationVersion}" debug="@{debug}" verbose="@{verbose}" debuglevel="@{debuglevel}" fork="@{fork}" memoryinitialsize="@{minHeap}" memorymaximumsize="@{maxHeap}"> <exclude name="**/package-info.java"/> <compilerarg value="-proc:only"/> <compilerarg value="-processor"/> <compilerarg value="com.querydsl.apt.hibernate.HibernateAnnotationProcessor"/> <compilerarg value="-s"/> <compilerarg value="@{gen}"/> <classpath path="${basedir}/out.jar" /> </javac> > -----Original Message----- > From: Jose M Urena [mailto:jose.ur...@verizon.com] > Sent: 06 August 2018 14:19 > To: Ant Users List > Subject: [DKIM:FAIL] Re: [E] Javac: Command-Line Argument Files > > the issue for classpath too long can be fixed by a different strategy using > a manifest's class-path with an empty jar file > > <property name="path.jar" value=" ${basedir}/dist/path.jar" /> > > > > <target name="compile" depends="pathjar"> > > > > <javac debug="on" > > > > deprecation="off" > > > > optimize="off" > > > > destdir="${dest.dir}" > > > > srcdir="${src.dir}" > > > > includeantruntime="false" > > > > encoding="ISO-8859-1" > > > > fork="true"> > >> > > <compilerarg line="-Xlint:${JAVA_LINT} " /> > > > > <classpath path="${path.jar}" /> > > > > </javac> > > > > </target> > > > > > > > <target name="pathjar"> > > > > <delete file="${path.jar}" failonerror="false" /> > >> > > <mkdir dir="${basedir}/dist" /> > > > > <manifestclasspath jarfile="${path.jar}" > > > > property="pathjar.classpath" > > > > maxparentlevels="40" > > > > > <classpath refid="compile.classpath"/> > > > > </manifestclasspath> > > > > <echo message="Class-Path: ${pathjar.classpath}" level="debug" /> > > > > > >> <jar destfile="${path.jar}"> > > > > <manifest> > > > > <attribute name="Implementation-Title" value="${ant.project.name}" /> > > > > <attribute name="Class-Path" > >> value="${pathjar.classpath}"/> > >> > > </manifest> > > > > </jar> > > > > </target> > > > > > > > > > On Mon, Aug 6, 2018 at 3:28 AM Pietro Paolini < > pietro.paol...@alfasystems.com> wrote: > > > It is heavily intertwined with corporate stuff so I can't. it is a regular > > javac task whose class path is *huge* - the problem I reckon is that the > > command line parameters (which includes the > > Classpath) do not fit into the window's command line limit. > > > > > > > > at > > org.apache.tools.ant.Project.executeSortedTargets(Project.java:1405) > > at org.apache.tools.ant.Project.executeTarget(Project.java:1376) > > at > > > org.apache.tools.ant.helper.DefaultExecutor.executeTargets(DefaultExecutor.ja > va:41) > > at org.apache.tools.ant.Project.executeTargets(Project.java:1260) > > at org.apache.tools.ant.Main.runBuild(Main.java:857) > > at org.apache.tools.ant.Main.startAnt(Main.java:236) > > at org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher.run(Launcher.java:287) > > at org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher.main(Launcher.java:113) > > Caused by: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "C:\Program > > Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_144\bin\javac.exe" (in directory "xxxxx"): > > CreateProcess error=206, The filename or extension is too long > > at java.lang.ProcessBuilder.start(ProcessBuilder.java:1048) > > at java.lang.Runtime.exec(Runtime.java:620) > > at > > > org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.launcher.Java13CommandLauncher.exec(Java13 > CommandLauncher.java:58) > > at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Execute.launch(Execute.java:426) > > at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Execute.execute(Execute.java:440) > > at > > > org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.compilers.DefaultCompilerAdapter.executeExtern > alCompile(DefaultCompilerAdapter.java:598) > > ... 101 more > > Caused by: java.io.IOException: CreateProcess error=206, The filename or > > extension is too long > > at java.lang.ProcessImpl.create(Native Method) > > at java.lang.ProcessImpl.<init>(ProcessImpl.java:386) > > at java.lang.ProcessImpl.start(ProcessImpl.java:137) > > at java.lang.Proc > > > > > > > > > -----Original Message----- > > > From: Jan Matèrne (jhm) [mailto:apa...@materne.de] > > > Sent: 05 August 2018 09:21 > > > To: 'Ant Users List' > > > Subject: AW: [E] Javac: Command-Line Argument Files > > > > > > Could you post your buildfile snippet and the build output? > > > > > > Jan > > > > > > > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > > > > Von: Jose M Urena [mailto:jose.ur...@verizon.com] > > > > Gesendet: Freitag, 3.
