Not really making much progress:
the task I want to use is in the ant-1.8.1.jar file that is available
in the lib folder of GRADLE_HOME.
It is called 'EmailTask' and resides at:
org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.email.EmailTask
Its dependencies are found in the jar files I have:
mail.jar
activation.jar
and maybe
java-mail.jar, which comes with the ant installation.
I still get the same exception no matter how I do this:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException.
Execution failed for task ':doEMail'.
Cause: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage
I have placed all these libraries in the lib directory of gradle, and
have tried the following two methods ...... both to no avail.
I'm using fixed directory here, just for test purposes.
repositories {
flatDir name: 'localRepository', dirs: "D:\\dev\\apps\\gradle-0.9\\lib\\"
}
configurations {
mailAntTask
}
dependencies {
mailAntTask ":mail"
mailAntTask ":activation"
mailAntTask ":ant:1.8.1"
mailAntTask ":ant-javamail"
}
task doMail << {
println "in the domail task"
ant {
taskdef(name: 'mail',
classname: 'org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.email.EmailTask',
classpath: configurations.mailAntTask.asPath)
mail(mailhost: 'mailserver', mailport: '25', subject: "test",
user: '[email protected]', password: "", message: "the body"){
from(address: '[email protected]')
to(address: "[email protected]")
}
}
}
task doEMail << {
println "in the do email task"
ant.path(id: 'mail.path'){
fileset(dir: "D:\\dev\\apps\\gradle-0.9\\lib"){
include(name: 'mail.jar')
include(name: 'activation.jar')
include(name: 'ant.1.8.1.jar')
include(name: 'ant-javamail.jar')
}
}
ant.typedef(name: 'email', classname:
"org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.email.EmailTask", classpathref:
'mail.path')
ant.email(mailhost: 'emailserver', mailport: '25', subject: "the
title", user: '[email protected]', password: "", message: "the body"){
from(address: '[email protected]')
to(address: "[email protected]")
}
}
I would have thought the 2nd method at least work (I am familiar with
having done with this my own custom tasks... and it worked) ....
why the b.h does it not work here? I have that mail.jar in the
classpath ( which contains javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage ) yet it
still cannot find it. ...
arrgghh!
