I have found the reason for this.
It seems that Ant requires the script antRun in order to run any exec,
execon commands.
Is there a reason for this? Or i am i wrong, and i can specify any script
for that?
thank you

Subject: Question about exec and execOn and ant installation
Hello
I am running ant by hand, basically i created a directory called ant and put
all the jar files in it (ant.jar....), after that i wrote my own wrapper to
run different ant tasks. Below is a command i give to run it.
$property="-Dant.home=$ant_path -DRMI=$Rmi -Dproject_rmi=$project_rmi
-Dproject_name=$project_name -Dproject_dir=$project_dir";
system("$JAVACMD -classpath $localclasspath $property
org.apache.tools.ant.Main $project_options $project_task");
My wrapper is written in perl.
What i notice is that when i run exec, execon task, Ant is looking for
antRun script which comes in the bin directory of ant distribution. Since i
do not install it (i did not put any scripts from bin directory into my ant
directory). all my Exec, ExecOn tasks fail. My other tasks (javac, jar,
delete ... ) are working fine.
I was wondering if anyone else saw this problem.
thank you
boris
