Berin:
Seems that there are a number of errors in the buildfile related to the
xdocs target. I have only checked jakarta-avalon/build.xml at this stage -
here is a summary of the changes needed to get it working:
1. remove the comments from the following taskdef
<!--
<taskdef name="stylebook"
classname="org.apache.stylebook.StyleBookAntTask">
<classpath refid="tools.class.path"/>
</taskdef>
-->
2. change the classname in the above taskdef to
"org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.StyleBook"
3. the classpath references "tools.class.path" contains the reference to
${stylebook.jar}" but ${stylebook.jar}" is undefined, but the sylebook
jar is explicitly included in the fileset declaration - the solution
is to either add a defintion of the stylebook.jar property or remove
the pathelement statement and exclude statement - or more simply,
change tools.class.path to the following:
<path id="tools.class.path">
<pathelement location="${xerces.jar}"/>
<pathelement location="${testlet.jar}"/>
<fileset dir="${tools.dir}/lib">
<include name="*.jar" />
<exclude name="testlet.jar"/>
</fileset>
</path>
After that the xdocs target executes properly.
I can go ahead and update the other build file if this seems an appropriate
direction.
Cheers, Steve.
