What part of the build is dependent on Ant-1.4.1? The only thing I've found is that if you don't have JUnit-3.8.1 in ANT_HOME/lib then the build fails even if you aren't running tests. For instance, I just ran "ant clean" and got this...
BUILD FAILED
file:D:/myclasses/Repository/Enhydra/XMLC_DSF_2003-03-12/xmlc/libraries/util/mod
ules/junitTivano/build.xml:79: taskdef class org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optio
nal.junit.JUnitTask cannot be found
However, with that jar in ANT_HOME/lib, I build XMLC just fine with Ant-1.5.2. Where is the Ant-1.4.1 dependency? I suggest getting rid of the extra modules such as JUnit. The problem is classloading. Since most current Ant releases come with "optional.jar" in ANT_HOME/lib, the optional task require their dependencies at the same level in the classloader hierarchy. In this case <junit> requires junit.jar to be in the same classloader. The parent classloader can't see junit libraries to load in a child classloader. Really, I'd get rid of Ant and Junit as modules. Actually, You might think of getting rid of gnu-regexp as a module. We haven't modified that at all, have we?
I had problem running Unit tests with 1.5. Some class not found error which I haven't gotten around to track.
There are no reason to keep gnu.regexp as source. Should just include the jar.
2. It would be great to have an Ant taskdef that creates the HTML LazyDOMs as I don't build under Linux/Unix.
Yes, I agree. Any one know a good ant task that would do string substitution?
Well, Ant can filter copy stuff just fine. I haven't looked at the source for the strings, but are they something like @some_token@ ? That is pretty simple to do in Ant. In fact, if you look at the xmlc tomcat demo build.xml, there is lots of that going on.
Nope. the are not @some_token@. They are straight string like "org.apache.dom.html." I think I am looking for something 'sed' like taskdef for Ant.
