http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16923 File arguments incorrectly processed using JDK 1.1 Summary: File arguments incorrectly processed using JDK 1.1 Product: Ant Version: 1.5.1 Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows NT/2K Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: Core AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ant messes up File arguments under the following circumstances: 1) Running on Windows. 2) Use a build file that is not in the current directory. 3) Specify the path to the build file using forwar slashes. 4) The basedir attribute for the project is a relative path. Under these circumstances, Ant *does* find and run the build file. However, for any tasks that take a File argument, it passes the incorrect File value to the task. ======================================================================= Steps: Create the following shell script. The paths to the JDKs will need to be adjusted for your system. export ANT="/d/java/libraries/jakarta-ant-1.5.1/bin/ant" JDKs="1.4.1 1.1.8_009" for JDK in $JDKs ; do export JAVA_HOME="D:/Java/JDKs/jdk${JDK}" $ANT -DFileName="F_${JDK}.txt" -buildfile "subdir/FileBug.xml" $ANT -DFileName="B_${JDK}.txt" -buildfile "subdir\\FileBug.xml" done find . -name '*.txt' Create the file "FileBug.xml" in a sub-directory named "subdir": <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <project name="FileBug" default="filebug" basedir="." > <target name="filebug"> <echo file="${FileName}" message="Written using Java ${java.version}"/> </target> </project> Run the shell script. This will create the following files: ./F_1.1.8_009.txt ./subdir/B_1.1.8_009.txt ./subdir/B_1.4.1.txt ./subdir/F_1.4.1.txt
