RE: build.bat problem

First point I'd make is that it is easier (and better?) to define the classpath for ANT (ant only) in the batch file (like the ant.bat, it handles it's own jars nicely) and set up a fileset for your classpath inside the build script. This means you can have incompatibilities between these (like

RE: Junit test reports

This is an (annoying) classpath issue. If you take a look at the definition of the tasks it says it needs Xalan 2 If you get this version of xalan and put it in the lib directory I think that fixes the problem. Let me know how it goes... Alan. -Original Message- From: Kazandjian Erik

RE: central definition of classpath, please HELP !!!

I believe you need to use a property to do this. classpath refid's will not be passed (as they are XML IDs and it is a different XML file). Not as powerful, but it will be passed to other scripts... Maybe (big maybe) you could xml include other scripts using an ENTITY??? Alan. -Original

RE: central definition of classpath, please HELP !!!

You can't (as far as I know) Only properties are passed... What I do is define the properties that are needed to recreate the classpath, not ideal, but it works. like classpath.lib.dir, classpath.classes.dir, classpath.other.jar??? Sorry I can't help more... Alan. -Original Message-

RE: Line numbers on Stack traces

For some reason, by default, ANT passes -g:none to the compiler and there is no way for it's default to be the same as Javacs default which is -g:line as far as I know. Also, in ANT you only have debug on (all) or off (none), check out the docs for javac and you will see it has more options... I
