http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4119 need to be able to specify process name for javac Summary: need to be able to specify process name for javac Product: Ant Version: 1.4 Platform: Alpha OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: Other Component: Core tasks AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, I'm working on porting IONA's application server to OpenVMS and so far I've been using ant quite successfully. The enhancement I would like to see is to be able to specify the javac process name directly in the ant build script when using fork="yes". This functionality is currently available with the java task where I can use the jvm attribute to specify the VM process name. On openVMS javac is really called java$javac.exe in the same way that java is really called java$java.exe. I specifically need to have the javac tasks forked because there appears to be a bug in the openVMS implementation of javac which causes it to leak memory all over the place :( The specific problem is being caused in org.apache.tools.ant.compilers.JavacExternal.java line 75 where the execute cmd is set to 'javac'. For the moment I intend to workaround the problem by implementing a custom CompilerAdapter which sets the javac proccess name correctly.
