-----------------------------------
Summary: build should check for and require Ant 1.8+
Key: DS-1391
URL: https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-1391
Project: DSpace
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Steve Swinsburg
There is a check in the build.xml for whether or not to overwrite configs (see
the unless attribute):
<target name="copy_configs_keep" unless="${overwrite}"
depends="prepare_configs">
The problem is, property expansion was only added in Ant 1.8. Previously it
only accepted property names, and if they were set or not set, to any value.
So using Ant 1.7.1 on DSpace 1.8 or higher causes those targets to always be
executed, even if overwrite=false.
The reason we are using Ant 1.7.1 is due to other projects requiring it, so we
didn't think to upgrade.
What would be good (and IMO required to fix this problem) is for the build.xml
to check the version of Ant and fail the build if using a version of Ant < 1.8,
since that version is required for the build to function as expected.
This is as simple as a target that runs before all others to check the Ant
version string. I can send a pull request for this if this functionality is
desired.
