[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEEHIVE-37?page=all ]
Eddie O'Neil resolved BEEHIVE-37:
---------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
Pre 1.6 versions of Ant will just fail parsing because they aren't <import>
aware.
Not sure what we can do to fix this even...
> build.xml should fail gracefully with info if using invalid ant or jdk
> versions
> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: BEEHIVE-37
> URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEEHIVE-37
> Project: Beehive
> Type: Improvement
> Environment: ant less than 1.6, jdk less than 1.5
> Reporter: bob mcwhirter
> Assignee: Eddie O'Neil
> Fix For: V1Beta
>
> Will submit a patch. Just noting it here for progress tracking.
> running ant from the top-level of the build should check and gracefully fail
> if the current version of ant and/or the jdk is not sufficient to build
> beehive.
> There is only 1 construct in the current top-level build that isn't supported
> by older versions of ant, being the <fail> with a nested <condition>. The
> ant manual itself shows a different way of using <condition> to set a
> property followed by a <fail unless="..."> idiom, instead of the nesting.
> I've confirmed that this idiom does indeed work with older (more common)
> versions of ant.
> Suggested verbiage from my localhost...
> for failing JDK version check:
> <fail unless="jdk.version.okay">
> Newer JDK required.
> Building the project requires JDK 1.5.
> You are currently using the following JDK:
> java.home = ${java.home}
> java.version = ${java.version}
> java.vendor = ${java.vendor}
> You may obtain a newer version of the JDK from
> http://java.sun.com/
> If you have JDK 1.5 installed on your system, you may need to
> adjust your JAVA_HOME environment variable.
> </fail>
> for failing ant version check
> <fail unless="ant.version.okay">
> Newer Ant required.
> Building the project requires apache-ant 1.6.
> You are currently using the following apache-ant:
>
> ant.home = ${ant.home}
> ant.version = ${ant.version}
> You may obtain a newer version of ant from
> http://ant.apache.org/
> If you have ant 1.6 installed on your system, you may need to
> adjust your ANT_HOME environment variable.
> </fail>
