Bug#565403: ant-contrib: doc refers to missing file antlib.xml

[Emmanuel Bourg]

antlib.xml is indeed in the jar, and the 'resource' attribute of the
taskdef task refers to a classpath entry. So there is no need to install
antlib.xml explicitly.

Bug#565403: ant-contrib: doc refers to missing file antlib.xml

[Daniel Leidert]

The bug report is not completely true. antlib.xml is part of the .jar
file and this is IMO the way it should be:

> jar -tvf /usr/share/java/ant-contrib.jar  | grep antlib.xml
>   1847 Mon Jul 09 01:46:54 CEST 2012 net/sf/antcontrib/antlib.xml

I wonder if this report can be closed or if it should be merged with
#607670.

Bug#565403:

[Francis Devereux]

I'm hitting this too. I can't hard-code /usr/share/java/ant-contrib.jar in my 
build.xml because the project also needs to be built on non-Debian machines 
(that put ant-contrib.jar elsewhere) too.

I'm working around this by bundling the ant-contrib jar in my project so that I 
can reference it with a build.xml-relative path.

Hello Yann,

Try this, it should work.

  
 
   
 
   

The documentation needs to be corrected

The ant-contrib jar is not added automatically to the Ant lib as it puts
more classes in the classpath, so risks of name clashes and version
mismatch are increased.

Bug#565403: ant-contrib: doc refers to missing file antlib.xml

[Yann Dirson]

More info:

I tried to use antlib.xml by copying it and the jar to my project, but
adding the suggested block below:

  

  

  

... results in:

Buildfile: build.xml
  [taskdef] Could not load definitions from resource .../antlib.xml. It
could not be found.

This happens both with absolute and relative paths to antlib.

OTOH, I could make it work by copying the parts of its contents I'm
interested in, eg:

  

  

  


I can't really see what I'm doing wrong, maybe I just need some sleep, but
that could just be an inaccurate doc, or a plain ant bug.

Bug#565403: ant-contrib: doc refers to missing file antlib.xml

[Yann Dirson]

Package: ant-contrib
Version: 1.0~b3+svn177-1

/usr/share/doc/ant-contrib/manual/index.html advertises  as the standard way to use
ant-contrib tasks, but no file by that name is present in the deb.

The whole src/main/resources/net/sf/antcontrib/ directory from the source
package should probably be shipped (as /usr/share/antcontrib ?).

Once shipped, a note in the doc about the Debian-specific path to use
would be useful as well.

Also, is there any reason not to install a symlink in /usr/share/ant/lib/,
as many packages (eg. junit) are doing, so that users do not need to add
any host-specific stuff to their antfiles ?
