http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27922 Launcher fails for UNC drive names as ANT_HOME Summary: Launcher fails for UNC drive names as ANT_HOME Product: Ant Version: 1.6.1 Platform: Other OS/Version: Windows XP Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: Core AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] If ANT_HOME is set to a UNC drive name (f.e. "\\mymachine\mydrive\myantpath"), oata.launch.Launcher throws ClassNotFoundException for Class oata.Main. I found out, that the problem is method oata.launch.Locator.fromURL. It doesn't handle UNC drive names. As it initially removes url's "file://" prefix, the above example with the url "file://mymachine/mydrive/myantpath" results in the (relative) filename "mymachine\mydrive\myantpath". BTW another comment to oata.launch.Launcher: If ANT_HOME_PROPERTY is set, the default value for ANTLIBDIR_PROPERTY should be ANT_HOME/lib instead of the codebase oata.launch.Launcher is loaded from. P.S.: If Ant is not intended to support UNC drive names, please change severity to 'Enhancement'. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
