http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=26559 New 'tempdir' javac attribute is ignored by 1.6.0 and 1.6.1 Summary: New 'tempdir' javac attribute is ignored by 1.6.0 and 1.6.1 Product: Ant Version: 1.6.0 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: Other Component: Core tasks AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The attribute name is 'tempdir'; however, the variable name in the Javac source file is 'tmpDir'. As a result, a tempdir value specified in a build file will never be used. The temp output will always be directed to user.dir. Normally, this is ok and even preferred. In some situation however this blocks builds. I'm working in a clearcase environment where the temp output must NOT be directed back to the ClearCase view. First and foremost there's a significant performance penalty to writing temp files to a view. Second, when using ClearCase on windows you won't always have write permissions back to the directory containing your build file. In those situations javac will not complete when your command length exceeds 4096 characters. The fix is simple, just rename tmpDir to tempdir in the Javac source file. I verified that this defect is present also in the latest 1.6.1-beta load. I'll be glad to help or make the change even if you need. I've not pitched in to an open source initiative before but I'm eager to start. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
