junit task def

Hi, I'm using the optionaly JUnit task from within a build script to run tests as part of the build process. The problem is that various system properties need setting for the code to execute successfully. Normally these would be set using the -D option. Is it possible to set these

path structures in different build files

Hi, I have a path structure that I have defined in one build file, this build file then calls a second build file. If I try to refer to the path structure I defined in the first file from the second file I get an error: Reference webapp.classpath not found. file 1 contains: path

property problems

Hi, I have a scenario where in the process of building a component, sub-components are built. In doing so, a generic build file is used to build the top level component. This generic build file calls the sub-component build files. these files in turn can call the generic build file (with

thanks - inheritall=false is exactly what I needed. for my info, once a property is set, is it possible to change its value? if yes are there any restrictions e.g. not within the same target etc. Thanks again Nathan -Original Message- From: Stefan Bodewig [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

java task exit(1) but build successful

Hi, I have java tasks that exit with System.exit(1); I would expect the overall build to fail as the failonerror=true flag is set. However the Build Successful message is displayed. ant 1.4.1 on Win 2k pro Cheers Nathan

starting new processes without ant blocking

Hi, I've followed numerous threads on this subject in mail archive but to no avail. Is there any way to spawn a background process from ant (e.g. Notepad) without ant waiting for the notepad window to close? Thanks Nathan **

RE: starting new processes without ant blocking

on a w2k or nt system you could try using 'start notepad' or even 'start somefile.ext' in which case start will open the file 'somefile.ext' with the program associated with the extension '.ext' on your computer in the background. -- knut -Original Message- From: Nathan Coast

building tasks from other tasks

Hi, I'm working on a taskdef which consists of a number of existing tasks and some new code. I could make a new taskdef just for the new code and achieve the 'macro' task by a combination of tasks in build.xml. However, I'd prefer to create a taskdef that performs the whole task. Is it

how to fail a task

Hi, I'm working on a number of custom tasks. In certain situations I want the tasks to fail causing the whole build to fail. What is the correct way to do this? Throw a build exception? or is there some method to call that sets the build status to failed? thanks Nathan -- To unsubscribe,

nested tasks

Hi, Is it possible to nest one task within another? If yes, are there any good docs / examples of this? What I'm trying to achieve: 1) using a custom cvs task, I get my filesystem in synch with any modifications from in the cvs repository. 2) check the code still builds, tests run

quotes in args for exec

Hi, I need to get quotes in arguments to an exec command. In order for the command to work, the -classpath argument needs to be in quotes. Don't ask me why, it just does :) this is what I have in my build.xml exec executable=D:\java\jwsdp-1_0\bin\xrpcc.bat arg line=-server

2nd you can use line='blah' if you want to (i.e. single quotes for XML and embedding normal quotes in them), though as far as I know quot; is also a valid syntax, so this whatever I seem to put in the arg tag for quotes, they seem to dissapear before constructing the command :( -- To
