http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3987 Using <project... /> leads to bad error message Summary: Using <project... /> leads to bad error message Product: Ant Version: unspecified Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Minor Priority: Other Component: Core AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, I cut & paste an ant example build.xml (Listing 4) from an article at http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/library/j-ant/index.html That example (ea few dozen lines long) had a typo in the first line: <project name="Sample.Project" default="runtests" basedir="."/> <- note the slash This leads to a error message unusable at least for beginner : [...] Setting project property: user.home -> /home/wessels Setting ro project property: ant.file -> /home/wessels/develop/java/sample/build.xml parsing buildfile /home/wessels/develop/java/sample/build.xml with URI = file:/home/wessels/develop/java/sample/build.xml Setting ro project property: ant.project.name -> Sample.Project Setting project property: basedir -> /home/wessels/develop/java/sample Project base dir set to: /home/wessels/develop/java/sample BUILD FAILED /home/wessels/develop/java/sample/build.xml:2: com.sun.xml.parser/P-001 3c Total time: 1 second It took me three hours to hunt this problem down, because I didn't saw the slash, and could find nothing about this error message... It should say at least "no targets found" or something like this. Thanks, Holger ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
