Hi, I've tried the following: after: <property name="jar.name" value="${build}/SIP_HostSimulators_${RunwayVersion}.jar" />
I write: <target name="run" depends="jar" description="run the Main class"> <java jar="${jar.name}" fork="true"/> </target> but this returns: BUILD FAILED C:\myProjects\runway_core\guitools\sims\build.xml:153: Problem: failed to create task or type target Cause: The name is undefined. Action: Check the spelling. Action: Check that any custom tasks/types have been declared. Action: Check that any <presetdef>/<macrodef> declarations have taken place. where's the correct place to insert it in the build file? how do I manage the parameters "-cfg/simulators.cfg"?
