After a bit of hacking about with the source code, the problem turns out to be nothing more than that it can't find release.ksh. Doh. In my defence, the file was present and but with a capital 'R' at the front and I'm on NT so I was convinced could see the file! -- Matt -----Original Message----- From: Helliwell, Matthew Sent: 26 July 2001 09:29 To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: tarfileset not working Like a few other people I've had problems with the tarfileset and so downloaded the latest Tar.java to try that. I've still got a problem. Using this build file <?xml version="1.0" ?> <project name="SCARE" default="Build"> <target name="Build"> <tar tarfile="${target.dir}/scare.tar"> <tarfileset dir="${target.dir}/DatabaseLoaderConfigs" includes="release.ksh"/> </tar> </target> </project> Gives this output $ ant -verbose -Dtarget.dir=c:/cygwin/home/helliwm/release -buildfile test.xml Ant version 1.3 compiled on March 2 2001 Buildfile: test.xml Detected Java Version: 1.3 Detected OS: Windows NT parsing buildfile c:\cygwin\home\helliwm\dev\cvsdata\scare\test.xml with URI = file:c:/cygwin/home/helliwm/dev/cvsdata/scare/test.xml Project base dir set to: C:\cygwin\home\Helliwm\dev\cvsdata\scare Build sequence for target `Build' is [Build] Complete build sequence is [Build] Build: [tar] Nothing to do: C:\cygwin\home\helliwm\release\scare.tar is up to date. BUILD SUCCESSFUL Total time: 1 second Before the run target.dir is empty apart from DatabaseLoaderConfigs/release.ksh After the run its still the same. I've recompiled Tar.java will a new log message in it to make sure I was picking up the new version and I am. Anybody any suggestions? Am I just doing something stupid?
