http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=24296 "import" fails to find absolute files without drive specifier (windows only) Summary: "import" fails to find absolute files without drive specifier (windows only) Product: Ant Version: 1.6Beta Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows NT/2K Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: Core tasks AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The new import task, though excellent in almost every other respect ;-), fails to find "absolute" files whose paths lack a leading drive specifier. For example: C:\temp>cat import-bug.xml <project name="import-bug"> <!-- This "import" succeeds; path starts with "c:" --> <import file="c:/temp/import.xml"/> <!-- This "import" fails; path lacks drive specifier --> <import file="/temp/import.xml"/> </project> C:\temp>cat import.xml <project name="import"> <echo message="import"/> </project> C:\temp>ant -f import-bug.xml Buildfile: import-bug.xml [echo] import BUILD FAILED C:\temp\import-bug.xml:5: Cannot find /temp/import.xml imported from C:\temp\import-bug.xml Total time: 0 seconds C:\temp>ant -version Apache Ant version 1.6beta2 compiled on October 16 2003 C:\temp> The problem stems from the use of "File.isAbsolute()" in ImportTask.java. On Windows platforms, "isAbsolute()" considers path names beginning with a leading slash to be relative paths. So you would need to check for a leading "/" or "\" in the import file's path. I hacked up my local version of Ant with this fix and it seemed to do the trick.
