Documentation needed for ant task exitOnFinish system property
--------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CXF-3644
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-3644
Project: CXF
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Documentation
Affects Versions: 2.4.1
Environment: Website only.
http://cxf.apache.org/docs/wsdl-to-java.html,
http://cxf.apache.org/docs/java-to-ws.html,
http://cxf.apache.org/docs/wsdlvalidator.html.
Reporter: Bob Fields
Priority: Minor
Please update the documentation site for tools to mention the undocumented
exitOnFinish system property, on the various Tools webpages, where it says
"Make sure you set the "fork=true" attribute for the <java/> task". I spent
several hours trying to figure out why the ant task was not failing the build
when the wsdl2java and java2ws java tasks were failing, even with fork=true and
failonerror=true. The fix is to add <sysproperty key="exitOnFinish"
value="yes"/> to the <java> task properties. I finally saw this in the source
code, working back from the stack trace, and afterwards noticed that Daniel
adds this value by default to some example ant tasks. A better fix might be to
set this value to true by default instead of false, so that the java task would
work properly according to the ant documentation.
