Re: Need help with HWPF creation-Any HWPF jar available?

[Georgios Samaritakis]

Hello again
I tried to use ant. So I found an example build file :
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="generic" default="build" basedir=".">
   <!-- ================================================= build -->
   <target name="build" description="Compile source files">
       <javac srcdir="." source="1.4" debug="true"/>
   </target>
  
   <!-- ================================================== docs -->
   <target name="docs" depends="build"
                       description="Generate javadoc documentation.">
       <javadoc destdir="docs" private="true" source="1.4">
           <fileset dir="." includes="*.java"/>
       </javadoc>
   </target>
  
   <!-- ================================================== clean -->
   <target name="clean" description="Delete class files and docs dir.">
       <delete>
           <fileset dir="." includes="*.class"/>
       </delete>
       <delete dir="docs" />
   </target>
</project>

Then I created a folder and copied all hwpf files (in their folders) and 
just used ant. Some were compiled successfully and most of them were 
not. List of compilation errors follows (Most of them...100 errors):

BUILD FAILED
Anyway wouldn't it be much simpler if there was a stable HWPF package 
even if it wasn't fully functional so that someone can easily start 
experimenting?

Thanks a lot

I tried and downloaded all the HWPF files from the CVS. (At least I 
think so....)
I started trying to compile them but it doesn't work out! (compilation 
errors) Has anyone created a HWPF jar?
Or at least can someone instruct me how to make it work? (Do I have to 
compile the files in any particular order?)
   

Please tell us what *exactly* you did to run the compilation and what
the system responded *exactly*.
