Hi,
I am new to Ant, and I am probably doing something fundamentally wrong.
Here is my problem: I have setup my build.xml with a few dependent targets in a very
straightforward way (all javac compiles). when a compile error happens - I go and fix
it, however ant will not re-compile it. Even if I don't fix it - I run ant second time
and it will pass fine. The only way I can make it re-compile the class is to blow
away the whole classes directory. Even deleting all the classfiles for the target I am
trying to re-compile does not do the trick. It seems once ant does a target once it
even if it fails it still thinks it has been built succesfully and even deleting
resulting classfiles is ignored by it. What am I doing wrong?
thanks in advance for your help,
- Ilya
P.S. Below is a sample piece of my build.xml
<project name="process" default="compile" basedir=".">
<property name="ias.bin" value="${ias.home}/bin"/>
<property name="src.root" value="${ias.home}/bin"/>
<!-- change this property to use a compiler other than javac. -->
<property name="build.compiler" value="classic"/>
<!-- Source file location. -->
<property name="src" value="../src/share"/>
<!-- Destination directory for the build -->
<property name="build" value="."/>
<!-- ======================================================= -->
<!-- Compile all classes. -->
<!-- ======================================================= -->
<target name="prepare">
<tstamp/>
<mkdir dir="${build.classesdir}"/>
<condition property="isWeblogic">
<equals arg1="${platform}" arg2="weblogic"/>
</condition>
<condition property="isIPlanet">
<equals arg1="${platform}" arg2="iplanet"/>
</condition>
</target>
<target name="platform.weblogic" if="isWeblogic">
<echo message="Platform: weblogic" />
<javac srcdir="${src}"
destdir="${build.classesdir}"
classpath="${build.classpath}"
includesfile="./platformWeblogic.filelist"
/>
</target>
<target name="platform.iplanet" unless="isWeblogic">
<echo message="Platform: iplanet" />
<javac srcdir="${src}"
destdir="${build.classesdir}"
classpath="${build.classpath}"
includesfile="./platformIPlanet.filelist"/>
</target>
<target name="compile.util" depends="prepare, platform.weblogic, platform.iplanet">
<javac srcdir="${src}"
destdir="${build.classesdir}"
classpath="${build.classpath}"
includesfile="./util.filelist"
memoryInitialSize="128M"
memoryMaximumSize="256M"/>
</target>
<target name="compile.core" depends="compile.util">
<javac srcdir="${src}"
destdir="${build.classesdir}"
classpath="${build.classpath}"
includesfile="./core.filelist"
memoryInitialSize="128M"
memoryMaximumSize="256M"/>
</target>
... and so on
