Hello All!
I'm using Ant under OS/2 and Java 1.1.8 and I've found a bug in
org\apache\tools\ant\taskdefs\Execute.java related to launching commands under
OS/2 (according to
the last version of Execute.java I've downloaded from the cvs a couple of days
ago). The matter is
the Execute.sellLauncher variable is initialized with a WinNTCommandLauncher
object when 'os.name'
is OS/2, but the synthax of 'cd' (change dir) command used to change the
current drive along with
the current directory ('/d' command line switch) is not valid under OS/2 and
causes the system
error message. So, execution of any program/command via the command line shell
is not possible.
I've fixed this bug by writting the OS2CommandLauncher class and correcting the
initialization of
the shellLauncher, but I'm not familiar with cvs and I don't know what format
of diff-files is used
by Ant developers (I have only GDIFF format utility) and where should I put my
diff. Can anybody
give me a tip?
P.S. I've found that the <description> datatype under the scope the of the
<project> tag does not
work correctly, i.e. in the case of multiline description defined in buildfile
only the last line
is shown by the '-projecthelp' Ant's command line switch. Does this bug present
under other
OSes/Java versions?
