I think I must add to this an important note regarding the <ant> task. It
does not seem to handle directories correctly. Consider the following
build.xml file
<project name="call-bin-build" default="exec-bin-build" basedir=".">
<target name="exec-bin-build">
<exec executable="ant.bat" dir="bin"/>
</target>
<target name="ant-bin-build">
<ant antfile="build.xml" dir="bin"/>
</target>
</project>
and the output when calling these two targets, first with exec
C:\project>ant exec-bin-build
Buildfile: build.xml
exec-bin-build:
[exec] Buildfile: build.xml
[exec]
[exec] init:
...
[exec] [junit] Running com.handpoint.util.registry.test.JRegTest
[exec] [junit] Tests run: 2, Failures: 0, Errors: 0, Time elapsed:
0,03 sec
[exec] BUILD SUCCESSFUL
[exec]
[exec] Total time: 5 seconds
BUILD SUCCESSFUL
and then with the ant task
C:\project>ant ant-bin-build
Buildfile: build.xml
ant-bin-build:
init:
...
[junit] Running com.handpoint.util.registry.test.RegTest
[junit] Tests run: 2, Failures: 1, Errors: 0, Time elapsed: 0,03 sec
BUILD FAILED
Note that the bin-build fails when using the ant call, but it is successful
when using an exec call !
