Archie Cobbs commented on IVY-829:
----------------------------------
I still believe the original code is the right way to go. If {{Runtime.exec()}}
doesn't work properly on your machine, then that seems like a configuration
problem (perhaps the Windows equivalent of {{$PATH}} needs to be set to include
ant?). Surely lots of other programs in the world use {{Runtime.exec()}} and
they're not all broken on Windows too, are they?
An easy way to help Windows users if this is indeed merely a {{$PATH}} problem
would be to add a new configuration attribute on the packager resolver that
sets the absolute pathname to the ant binary. So if normal Windows {{$PATH}}
resolution doesn't work, you can set the path explicitly.
In any case, I don't understand the comments about URLs or {{cmd.exe}}, or what
an {{UnknownHostException}} has to do with anything. All we are trying to do is
execute a local program with some command line arguments.
On the other hand, I abhor^H^H^H^Hnever use Windows so I'm not able to offer
much insight into how things work on that illustrious platform.
