Hello Matt,

Please try to specify full paths to the file you include (please note the form):

<!ENTITY build-common SYSTEM "file:///c:/MyDirectory/build-common.xml">

Best regards,

Subject: [Eap-list] External entities in ant script don't work

Hi all,

I'm evaluating IDEA for use within my development group. We use Ant for all our java building. The way our Ant system works is that we have some common files which include the majority of our ant build logic, so that each project only has to write a very simple build file consisting mostly of setting properties. Each project file then includes the contents of the common files via an XML external parsed entity as shown below. Unfortunately, this seems to break IDEA's (Pandora build 525) ability to parse the XML file (though running Ant itself works fine). The file parses just fine if I blit the contents of the common files directly innto my project build file. Does anyone know of a way to work around this? What of the chances of this being fixed in the near future? I'd imagine this is a fairly common pattern for anyone using Ant across multiple development projects. Any help appreciated, thanks,

Matt

e.g. of failing build files:

build.xml:

<!DOCTYPE project [
<!ENTITY build-common SYSTEM "build-common.xml">
] >

<project name="ant-test" default="all">


&build-common;



</project>

build-common.xml:

<target name="all">
<echo message="Hi there"/>
</target>
