Howdy, all.
The problem: when build.compiler is set to jikes, and there is a
nonexistent directory in the extensions path, jikes barfs. MacOS X
has several directories in the extensions path that do not exist.
The potential hope:
If is set build.compiler to jikes, and then find a way to add the
parameter extdirs="" to my javac target, then I am told that it works.
The workaround:
If I set build.compiler to jikes, then I will set build.extdirs to ""
at the same time. A manual step, but one I can live with.
The icky part I do not know how to handle:
How do I set the parameter only if the property has a value? The
rest of the time, it is fine as it is.
Here is my task:
<target name="compile-release" depends="depend-release"
description="Compile java files into optimized class files">
<javac
debug="off"
optimize="on"
srcdir="${build-source}"
destdir="${build-release}"
classpath="${utilclasspath}"
excludes="${excludedFiles}"
includes="${includedFiles}"
/>
</target>
I could clearly add extdirs=${build.extdirs} right after the includes
line, but that is really tacky, because then I will need to define it.
I would much rather say something like
if ${build.extdirs} exists, set extdirs=${build.extdirs} endif
so if the property does not exist, I could just get the default
behavior, and only if I decided to set the property will I see
changes.
How are other people handling this?
