I have downloaded and installed the jakarta-ant-1.4.1 and set my
environment variables for ANT_HOME and JAVA_HOME and added the ant bin
directory to the path. I am on win 2k. When I enter "build" on a command
line (build is a .bat file that contains "ant compile"), I get another
command line with "ant compile" then I get the help for java command
(Usage: java[-options] class [args...]...) and the program ends. The
classes directory is not created and it is not deleted if I create it
manually. If I run the java command from the command line, the single java
file I have in the directory compiles correctly. If I take the @echo off
out of the ant.bat file in the bin directory, the .bat file seems to run
correctly until it gets to "org.apache.tools.ant.Main compile" and then I
get the java help text. The build.xml file I have is a cut and paste of
one that is supposed to work correctly. I tried the FAQ and the archives,
but didn't see anything that applied directly to my problem.
I can not figure out where the problem lies. Thanks in advance for any
help that you can provide.
A copy of the build.xml file follows:
- <project name="HelloWorld" default="compile" basedir=".">
- <!-- set global properties for this build -->
<property name="src" value="." />
<property name="classes" value="classes" />
- <!-- first lets make sure we clean any existing files -->
- <target name="clean">
<delete dir="${classes}" />
</target>
- <!-- second, lets now recreate the classes directory -->
- <target name="prepare" depends="clean">
<mkdir dir="${classes}" />
</target>
- <!-- third, finally we compile all java files starting with src
directory -->
- <target name="compile" depends="prepare">
- <javac srcdir="${src}" destdir="${classes}" failonerror="true">
<include name="**/*.java" />
</javac>
</target>
</project>
