RE: Ant Hangs
I'm not using FOP\lib\ant.jar to integrate to ant (at least I don't think I am). Could it be a problem to put that jar there? I put a copy of the jar in the lib folder (maybe I need it in a different folder?) to resolve imports to compile. I'm using the Eclipse ant plugin to run the ant build. FOP requires ant such as package org.apache.fop.tools.anttasks class FileCompare import org.apache.tools.ant.BuildException. If I try to download the ant source and create a project to reference for fop to validate these imports, I have to setup it's build path which requires bcel, apache commons, log4j, javax.mail, netrexx, javax.media.jai, jai.codec, jdepend, etc. I'll see if there's an easier way. -Original Message- From: Chris Bowditch [mailto:bowditch_ch...@hotmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, December 21, 2010 10:59 AM To: fop-dev@xmlgraphics.apache.org Subject: Re: Ant Hangs On 21/12/2010 15:07, Eric Douglas wrote: Hi Eric, > I'm not sure what you mean.

Re: Ant Hangs
Hi Eric, Peters method is less "hacky" than mine since it means you don't change the build.xml. Basically, you download the junit jar from and add it to the lib folder in your ant file and that will ensure that you can run junit with ant with any project (not just FOP).

RE: Ant Hangs
I put a junit jar in the fop lib directory. Without it the fop ant build tells me junit support is not present even if I have junit in the project build path. I found the last message it gives me in the build file. Is it possible this step is just taking a really long time? I'm not sure what all it's supposed to do.

I'm no Windows expert by any stretch of the imagination, but have you tried adding the JUnit jar to the build XML, add the Ant jar to the Environment variables and try running it from the command line. I think you may have more luck there.
