Hi All,
First, I would like to thank Lazlo, Christian and Neil for their helpful
replies.
I did eventually succeed sometime after 01:30 this morning. The cause of
my problem was using homebrew to install Ant. Big mistake, as it
insisted on installing jdk15 as a dependency, without checking for an
existing jdk on my system, installing it within usr, so I was unaware of
its existence. So I did a standalone install of Ant (haveing removed it
from homebrew along with the rogue jdk15).
However, running the ant command still did not recognise JAVA_HOME and
picked up the jdk15 from /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines, where I have
jdk8, jdk11 and jdk15. So had to move jdk15 so that it couldn't be found.
Then success! Wow, that is an amazing experience.
However, I now have lots of questions.
The first, is for Christian. Which specific file are you suggesting I
need to edit to set nbjdk, I am rather confused. And, why is jdk15
selected even though builds will fail?
I have more general questions, but, shall stick to a single topic. The
process took 88 minutes 49 seconds. The large part (it felt at the time)
was downloading from maven etc., as my internet access has become
unbelieveably slow recently (not that it is amazing when working
correctly). So, is it possible to access a local repo, like NetBeans
does, for bulding from source? And related to that, if I made changes to
something in the source now for experimental purposes would Ant
re-dowload everything or use what is already there.
Apologies for this rambling email.
Kind regards
Jeremy
