Changes from Ant 1.9.5 TO Ant 1.9.6
|
||
|
|
===================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Changes that could break older environments:
|
||
|
|
-------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Fixed bugs:
|
||
|
|
-----------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException when ZIP extra fields are read and
|
||
|
|
the entry contains an UnparseableExtraField.
|
||
|
|
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-317
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Other changes:
|
||
|
|
--------------
|
||
|
|
* Hidden <javaconstant> resource is published now. It reads the
|
||
|
|
value of a specified java constant.
|
||
|
|

Changes from Ant 1.9.4 TO Ant 1.9.5
|
||
|
|
===================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Changes that could break older environments:
|
||
|
|
-------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The ReplaceTokens filter can now use token-separators longer than
|
||
|
|
one character. This means it can be used to replace mustache-style
|
||
|
|
{{patterns}} and similar templates. This is going to break code
|
||
|
|
that invokes the setters on ReplaceTokens via the Java API as their
|
||
|
|
parameters have been changed from char to String. It may also
|
||
|
|
break build files that specified multi character tokens and relied
|
||
|
|
on Ant silently ignoring all but the first character.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 56584
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The changes that added <get>'s support for gzip encoding
|
||
|
|
automatically uncompressed content that would not have been touched
|
||
|
|
before - like when downloading .tar.gz files. A new flag has been
|
||
|
|
added to control the behavior and its default will make <get> work
|
||
|
|
as it did in 1.9.3. I.e. if you want it to work like 1.9.4
|
||
|
|
you have to explicitly set tryGzipEncoding to true.

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* URLResource#getLastModified tried to access the connection to the
|
||
|
|
URL without making sure it was established, potentially leading to
|
||
|
|
a NullPointerException when using FTP.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 56873
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Long-Name and -link or PAX-header entries in TAR archives
|
||
|
|
always had the current time as last modfication time, creating
|
||
|
|
archives that are different at the byte level each time an
|
||
|
|
archive was built.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* runant.py should now work as well when the path of the Java executable
|
||
|
|
contains spaces.
|

|
|
github pull request #1
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* the br-replace template inside the XSLT stylesheets used by

|

|
|
when applied to big outputs.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 57341
|
||
|
|

Port of https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-297
|

|
* FileUtils.rename which is used by several tasks can throw a

NullPointerException if the "normal" renameTo operation fails and
|
||
|
|
an exception occurs while rename falls back to copying and deleting

|
|
Bugzilla Report 57542
|
||
|
|
|

* LocalPropertyStack could run into ConcurrentModificationException

|
when tasks spawned new child threads that accessed the properties.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 55074
|
||
|
|
|

|
|
* TarEntry's constructor with a File and a String arg didn't
|
||
|
|
normalize the name.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Between 1.8.4 and 1.9.0 TarInputStream started to parse file
|
||
|
|
names using the platform's default encoding rather than as ASCII.
|
||
|
|
This has been a breaking change that has never been marked as such
|
||
|
|
(in fact it went unnoticed). In order to allow <untar> and
|
||
|
|
<tarfileset> to work on platforms who's encoding doesn't match the
|
||
|
|
encoding of file names inside the archive, both now support
|
||
|
|
encoding attributes.
|
||
|
|
The attribute has also been added to <tar> for symmetry.

Changes from Ant 1.9.3 TO Ant 1.9.4
|
||
|
|
===================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Changes that could break older environments:
|
||
|
|
-------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* the prefixValues attribute of <property> didn't work as expected
|
||
|
|
when set to false (the default).
|
||
|
|
It is quite likely existing build files relied on the wrong
|
||
|
|
behavior and expect Ant to resolve the value side against the
|
||
|
|
properties defined in the property file itself - these build files
|
||
|
|
must now explicitly set the prefixValues attribute to true.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 54769
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* when matching an entry of a zip/tarfileset against a pattern a
|
||
|
|
leading slash will be stripped from the entry name. Most archives
|
||
|
|
don't contain paths with leading slashes anyway.
|
||
|
|
This may cause include/exclude patterns that start with a / to stop
|
||
|
|
matching anything. Such patterns only used to work by accident and
|
||
|
|
only on platforms with multiple file system roots.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 53949
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* DirectoryScanner and thus fileset/dirset will now silently drop all
|
||
|
|
filesystem objects that are neither files nor directories according
|
||
|
|
to java.io.File. This prevents Ant from reading named pipes which
|
||
|
|
might lead to blocking or other undefined behavior.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 56149
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* BuildFileTest and BaseSelectorTest have both been deprecated in
|
||
|
|
favour of BuildFileRule and BaseSelectorRule respectively, and the
|
||
|
|
tests that previously extended these base tests have been converted to
|
||
|
|
JUnit 4 tests using the new "rule"s. Any external test that sub-classed
|
||
|
|
a test in the Ant workspace, rather than BuildFileTest, will need
|
||
|
|
changed to either use JUnit4's annotations, or be modified to
|
||
|
|
extend BuildFileTest directly. This will not affect any tests that are
|
||
|
|
being executed by Ant's junit or batchtest tasks that are not specifically
|
||
|
|
testing Ant's code.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Fixed bugs:
|
||
|
|
-----------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <import>/<include> failed when the importing file was loaded from an
|
||
|
|
URI or a jar and it imported a file from the local file system via
|
||
|
|
an absolute path.
|

explicitly disable caching to avoid problems with reloading jars.
|

|
|
|
||
|

* AntClassloader will now ignore files that are part of the classpath
|

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <copy> without force="true" would not only fail to overwrite a
|
||
|
|
read-only file as expected but also remove the existing file.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 53095
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <delete removeNotFollowedSymlinks="true"> would remove symbolic
|
||
|
|
links to not-included files. It will still delete symlinks to
|
||
|
|
directories that would have been followed even if they are not
|
||
|
|
explicitly included. exclude-Patterns can still be used to
|
||
|
|
preserve symbolic links.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 53959
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Sometimes copy-operations using NIO FileChannels fail. Ant will
|
||
|
|
now try to use a Stream based copy operation as fallback when the
|
||
|
|
Channel based copy fails.
|

Changes from Ant 1.9.0 TO Ant 1.9.1
|
||
|
|
===================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Changes that could break older environments:
|
||
|
|
-------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Users who have their own ProjectHelper implementation will need to change it because the import and include tasks
|
||
|
|
will now default the targetPrefix to ProjectHelper.USE_PROJECT_NAME_AS_TARGET_PREFIX.
|
||
|
|
Users using the default ProjectHelper2 with ant need not worry about this change done to fix Bugzilla Report 54940.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Fixed bugs:
|
||
|
|
-----------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Corrected XSLTC error in <junitreport>.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 54641.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Provide more control over Zip64 extensions created by <zip> and
|
||
|
|
related tasks. In particular no Zip64 extensions will be used at
|
||
|
|
all by the <jar> task family by default - this is required for jars
|
||
|
|
to be readably by Java5.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 54762.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Fixed loading of external dependencies in JUnit task.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 54835.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Target rewriting for nested "include" only works when "as" is specified.

|
|
||
|
|
* strict attribute added to <signjar>.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 54889.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* simplifying Execute.getEnvironmentVariables since we are only running on Java 1.5 or higher now
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Added conditional attributes.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 43362
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Recommending to upgrade jsch to 0.1.50, particularly if you are using Java 1.7.
|
||
|
|
jsch is the library behind the sshexec and scp Ant tasks.
|
||
|
|
Versions of jsch older than 0.1.50 fail randomly under Java 1.7 with an error message "verify: false"

|
|
===================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Changes that could break older environments:
|
||
|
|
-------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Ant now requires at least Java 1.5 to compile and to run
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* FixCRLF used to treat the EOL value ASIS to convert to the system property
|
||
|
|
line.separator. Specified was that ASIS would leave the EOL characters alone,
|
||
|
|
the task now really leaves the EOL characters alone. This also implies that
|
||
|
|
EOL ASIS will not insert a newline even if fixlast is set to true.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla report 53036
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The CommandLauncher hierarchy that used to be a set of inner
|
||
|
|
classes of Execute has been extracted to the
|
||
|
|
org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.launcher package.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Any FileResource whose represented File has a parent also has a basedir.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Removing the Perforce Ant tasks replaced by tasks supplied by Perforce Inc.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Setting the default encoding of StringResource to UTF-8 instead of null
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Upgrade JUnit 4 to JUnit 4.11
|
||
|
|

|
|
Other changes:
|
||
|
|
--------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* merged the ZIP package from Commons Compress, it can now read
|
||
|
|
archives using Zip64 extensions (files and archives bigger that 4GB
|
||
|
|
and with more that 64k entries).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* a new task <commandlauncher> can be used to configure the
|
||
|
|
CommandLauncher used by Ant when forking external programs or new
|
||
|
|
Java VMs.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 52706.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* merged the TAR package from Commons Compress, it can now read
|
||
|
|
archives using POSIX extension headers and STAR extensions.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* merged the BZIP2 package from Commons Compress, it can now
|
||
|
|
optionally read files that contain multiple streams properly.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <bunzip2> will now properly expand files created by pbzip2 and
|
||
|
|
similar tools that create files with multiple bzip2 streams.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <tar> now supports a new "posix" option for longfile-mode which
|
||
|
|
will make it create PAX extension headers for long file names. PAX
|
||
|
|
extension headers are supported by all modern implementations of
|
||
|
|
tar including GNU tar.
|
||
|
|
This option should now be used in preference to "warn" or "gnu" as
|
||
|
|
it is more portable. For backwards compatibility reasons "warn"
|
||
|
|
will still create "gnu" extensions rather than "posix" extensions.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The ProjectHelper class now exposes a method to be used by third party
|
||
|
|
implementations to properly resolve the binding between target extensions
|
||
|
|
and extension points.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 53549.
|
||
|
|
|

* Add the possibility to register a custom command line argument processor.
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* add the possibility to suppress stdout in the sshexec task.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 50270.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* add an encoding attribute to the contains selector.
|
||
|
|
This will be useful to use the contains selector if the encoding of the VM is different from the encoding
|
||
|
|
of the files being selected.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* support for GNU Classpath.

Changes that could break older environments:
|

|
|
-------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The Enumeration returned by AntClassLoader#getResources used to
|
||
|
|
return null in nextElement after hasNextElement would return false.
|
||
|
|
It has been changed to throw a NoSuchElementException instead so
|

|
that it now adheres to the contract of java.util.Enumeration.
|

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <splash>'s proxy handling has been delegated to <setproxy>

Changes from Ant 1.8.1 TO Ant 1.8.2
|
||
|
|
===================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Changes that could break older environments:
|
||
|
|
-------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Prior to Ant 1.8.0 the <copy> task and several other tasks would
|
||
|
|
overwrite read-only destination files. Starting with 1.8.0 they
|
||
|
|
would only do so under special circumstances. Ant 1.8.2 now
|
||
|
|
consistently won't replace a read-only file by default. The same is
|
||
|
|
true for a number of other tasks.
|
||
|
|
The <copy>, <move> and <echo> tasks now have a new force attribute
|
||
|
|
and <concat> has a new forceReadonly attribute that can be used to
|
||
|
|
make the task overwrite read-only destinations.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 49261.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Removed ant-nodeps.jar; it is now merged into ant.jar.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* DOMElementWriter#encode used to employ special code before encoding
|
||
|
|
ampersands so that { remained { rather than being turned
|
||
|
|
into &#123;. This is no longer the case, ampersands will now
|
||
|
|
be encoded unconditionally.
|
||
|
|
Also DOMElementWriter#encodeData will treat CDATA sections containing a
|
||
|
|
literal "]]>" sequence different now - it will split the CDATA
|
||
|
|
section between the second "]" and ">" and create two sections.
|
||
|
|
This affects <echoxml> task as well as the XML logger or JUnit
|
||
|
|
formatter where ampersands will now always get encoded.
|
||
|
|
In addition DOMElementWriter will now replace the characters \t, \r
|
||
|
|
and \n in attribute values by entity references.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 49404.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The list elements returned by ProjectHelper#getExtensionStack are
|
||
|
|
now String arrays of length 3 rather than 2 in order to support the
|
||
|
|
onMissingExtensionPoint attribute.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 49473.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* When using <property file="..." prefix="..."/> properties defined
|
||
|
|
inside the same file will only get used in expansions if the ${}
|
||
|
|
reference uses the same prefix. This is different from Ant 1.8.1
|
||
|
|
but is the same behavior Ant 1.8.0 and earlier exhibited.
|
||
|
|
A new attribute prefixValues can be used to re-enable the behavior
|
||
|
|
of Ant 1.8.1.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 49373.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The files and directories used by Git, Mercurial and Bazaar to
|
||
|
|
store their information are now excluded by the defaultexcludes.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 49624.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The <junit> task no longer generates TestListener events - which
|
||
|
|
have been introduced in ant 1.7.0 - by default. The task has a new
|
||
|
|
attribute enableTestListenerEvents and a new "magic" property
|
||
|
|
ant.junit.enabletestlistenerevents has been added that can be used
|
||
|
|
to reinstate the old behavior.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Fixed bugs:
|
||
|
|
-----------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* hostinfo now prefers addresses with a hostname over addresses without
|
||
|
|
a hostname, provided the addresses have the same scope.
|
||
|
|
For local lookup, no IP address will be put in NAME / DOMAIN anymore.
|
||
|
|
For remote lookup, if a host name was provided and only an IP address is
|
||
|
|
found, the IP address will no longer overwrite the host name provided to the
|
||
|
|
task.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 49513
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* mmap-based file copy problems under JDK 1.4 on Linux.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 49430.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The Sun JVM tries to mmap the entire file during a copy.
|
||
|
|
For large files this is not feasible.
|
||
|
|
We now explicitly request to copy at most 16 MiB per request.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 49326.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* DemuxInputStream.read() should return unsigned values
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 49279.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The MIME mailer ignored the port parameter when using SSL.
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <xslt> ignored the classpath when using the default TraX processor.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 49271.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <checksum>'s totalproperty only worked reliably if the same file
|
||
|
|
name didn't occur inside more than one directory.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 36748.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <ftp> could fail to download files from remote subdirectories under
|
||
|
|
certain circumstances.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 49296.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <junit> will now produce better diagnostics when it fails to delete
|
||
|
|
a temporary file.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 49419.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Ant would often scan directories even though there were known to
|
||
|
|
only hold excluded files when evaluating filesets. This never
|
||
|
|
resulted in wrong results but degraded performance of the scan
|
||
|
|
itself.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 49420.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <javac> failed for long command lines on OS/2.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 49425.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <junitreport> did not handle encodings well for stdout/stderr.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 49418.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <junit> could issue a warning about multiple versions of Ant on the
|
||
|
|
CLASSPATH if two CLASSPATH entries differed in case on a
|
||
|
|
case-insensitive file system.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 49041.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The <restrict> resource collection was checking every resource even if
|
||
|
|
we actually just want the first one, like in the example of use of
|
||
|
|
resourcelist in the documentation (getting the first available resource
|
||
|
|
from a mirror list).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* A race condition could lead to build failures if multiple <mkdir>
|
||
|
|
tasks were trying to create the same directory.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 49572.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* the toString() method of the Resources class - and thus any
|
||
|
|
${toString:} expansion of a reference to a <resources> element -
|
||
|
|
didn't iterate over its nested elements if it hadn't done so prior
|
||
|
|
to the toString invocation already.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 49588.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <apply> in parallel mode didn't work together with a nested
|
||
|
|
<redirector> if maxparallel was <= 0 (the default) or no source
|
||
|
|
files matched.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 49594.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <jar filesetmanifest="merge"> didn't work for manifests added via
|
||
|
|
<zipfileset>s that used the prefix or fullpath attributes.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 49605.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <tempfile createfile="true"> would cause an error unless the prefix
|
||
|
|
attribute has been specified.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 49755.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* If forked, after finished <java> was still reading the input stream
|
||
|
|
for a bunch of characters, then stealing them from a following <input>.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 49119.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Ant could be leaking threads for each forked process (started by
|
||
|
|
<exec>, <apply>, <java> or similar tasks) that didn't receive input
|
||
|
|
from a resource or string explicitly.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 49587.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Project#setDefault threw an exception when null was passed in as
|
||
|
|
argument, even though the Javadoc says null is a valid value.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 49803.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* runant.py would swallow the first argument if CLASSPATH wasn't set.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 49963.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <taskdef> failed to load resources from jar files contained in a
|
||
|
|
directory that has a "!" in its name.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 50007.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* ant.bat exit strategy improvements and issues
|
||
|
|
make the exit codes work in environments where 4NT or MKS are installed
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 41039.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <signjar> would fail if used via its Java API and the File passed
|
||
|
|
into the setJar method was not "normalized" (i.e. contained ".."
|
||
|
|
segments).
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 50081.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <delete> ignored <fileset>'s errorOnMissingDir attribute
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 50124.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <symlink> failed to close files when reading a list of symbolic
|
||
|
|
links from a properties file.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 50136.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <parallel> could allow tasks to start executing even if a task
|
||
|
|
scheduled to run before them timed out.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 49527.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* If a <junit> batch with multiple tests times out Ant logs a message
|
||
|
|
about a test named Batch-With-Multiple-Tests since 1.8.0 but the
|
||
|
|
logic that determined the Java package of this pseudo-test has been
|
||
|
|
wrong.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 45227.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <propertyfile> didn't preserve the original linefeed style when
|
||
|
|
updating a file.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 50049.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <zip>'s whenEmpty behavior never consulted the non-fileset
|
||
|
|
resources so the task could fail even though resources have been
|
||
|
|
provided using non-fileset resource collections.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Issue 50115.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* ftp chmod could throw a NPE.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla report 50217.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The project help (-p option in the command line) will now print
|
||
|
|
the dependencies of the targets in debug mode (-d on the command
|
||
|
|
line)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Other changes:
|
||
|
|
--------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <concat>'s force attribute has been deprecated in favor of a new
|
||
|
|
overwrite attribute that is consistent with <copy>'s attribute
|
||
|
|
names.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* You can now specify a list of methods to run in a JUnit test case.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 34748.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* properties in files read because of the -propertyfile command line
|
||
|
|
option will now get resolved against other properties that are
|
||
|
|
defined before the project starts executing (those from the same or
|
||
|
|
earlier -propertfiles or defined via the -D option).
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 18732.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <pathelement>s can now contain wildcards in order to use wildcard
|
||
|
|
CLASSPATH entries introduced with Java6.
|
||
|
|
The wildcards are not expanded or even evaluated by Ant and will be
|
||
|
|
used literally. The resulting path may be unusable as a CLASSPATH
|
||
|
|
for Java versions prior to Java6 and likely doesn't mean anything
|
||
|
|
when used in any other way than a CLASSPATH for a forked Java VM.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 46842.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* A new attribute allows targets to deal with nonexistent extension
|
||
|
|
points, i.e. they can extend an extension-point if it has been
|
||
|
|
defined or silently work as plain targets if it hasn't. This is
|
||
|
|
useful for targets that get included/imported in different
|
||
|
|
scenarios where a given extension-point may or may not exist.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 49473.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Ant now logs a warning message if it fails to change the file
|
||
|
|
modification time in for example when using <touch> or preserving
|
||
|
|
timestamps in various tasks.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 49485.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* ProjectHelpers can now be installed dynamically via the <projecthelper>
|
||
|
|
Ant task.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <import> is now able to switch to the proper ProjectHelper to parse
|
||
|
|
the imported resource. This means that several kinds of different build
|
||
|
|
files can import each other.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <copy tofile=""> now also works for non-filesystem resources.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 49756.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The <linecontainsregexp> filter now supports a casesensitive
|
||
|
|
attribute.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The <containsregexp> selector now supports casesensitive, multiline
|
||
|
|
and singleline attributes.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 49764.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* A new <cutdirsmapper> can be used like wget's --cut-dirs option to
|
||
|
|
strip leading directories from file names.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <javah> now supports the GNU project's gcjh compiler.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 50149.
|
||
|
|
|

|
|
* <checksum> supports additional views of a file's path as elements
|
||
|
|
for a custom pattern.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 50114.
|
||
|
|
|

|
|
* JUnit XMLResultAggregator logs the stack trace of caught IO exceptions
|
||
|
|
in verbose runs.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 48836.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* StringUtils.parseHumanSizes() should turn parse failures into
|
||
|
|
BuildExceptions.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 48835.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* New task <bindtargets> to make a list of targets bound to some
|
||
|
|
specified extension point.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Initial support for OpenJDK7 has been added.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Ant now uses java.net.CookieStore rather than
|
||
|
|
java.util.ServiceLocator to detect whether the environment is a
|
||
|
|
Java 1.6 system. This means releases of gcj/gij at the time of
|
||
|
|
this release of Ant are detected as Java 1.5 and not 1.6.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 50256.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* It is now possible to write a compiler adapter for <javac> that
|
||
|
|
compiles sources with extensions other than .java (but that still
|
||
|
|
compile to .class files).
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 48829.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The performance of VectorSet#add(Object) has been improved which
|
||
|
|
should also benefit any operation that scans directories in Ant.

Changes from Ant 1.8.0 TO Ant 1.8.1
|
||
|
|
===================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Changes that could break older environments:
|
||
|
|
-------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* ant-trax.jar is no longer produced since TrAX is included in JDK 1.4+.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Ant no longer ships with Apache Xerces-J or the XML APIs but relies
|
||
|
|
on the Java runtime to provide a parser and matching API versions.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The stylebook ant task and the ant-stylebook.jar are removed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Fixed bugs:
|
||
|
|
-----------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Tasks that iterate over task or type definitions, references or
|
||
|
|
targets now iterate over copies instead of the live maps to avoid
|
||
|
|
ConcurrentModificationExceptions if another thread changes the
|
||
|
|
maps.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 48310.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The filesmatch condition threw a NullPointerException when
|
||
|
|
comparing text files and the second file contained fewer lines than
|
||
|
|
the first one.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 48715.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Regression: The <ear> task would allow multiple
|
||
|
|
META-INF/application.xml files to be added.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 6836.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* VectorSet#remove(Object) would fail if the size of the vector
|
||
|
|
equaled its capacity.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Regression : ant -diagnostics was returning with exit code 1

|
|
* Add resource attribute to length task.
|
||
|
|

|
* PropertyResource will effectively proxy another Resource if ${name}
|

evaluates to a Resource object.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Added forcestring attribute to equals condition to force evaluation
|
||
|
|
of Object args as strings; previously only API-level usage of the
|
||
|
|
equals condition allowed Object args, but Ant 1.8.x+ property
|

|
evaluation may yield values of any type.

* <junit> will now throw an exception if a test name is empty. This

used to manifest itself in unrelated errors like
|

|
|
Bugzilla Report 43586.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* A change that made <exec> more reliable on Windows (Bugzilla Report
|
||
|
|
5003) strongly impacts the performance for commands that execute
|
||
|
|
quickly, like attrib. Basically no single execution of a command
|
||
|
|
could take less than a second on Windows.
|
||
|
|
A few timeouts have been tweaked to allow these commands to finish
|
||
|
|
more quickly but still they will take longer than they did with Ant
|
||
|
|
1.7.1.

Changes from Ant 1.8.0RC1 TO Ant 1.8.0
|
||
|
|
======================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Changes that could break older environments:
|
||
|
|
-------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* the appendtolines filter has been renamed to suffixlines.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Fixed bugs:
|
||
|
|
-----------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* stack traces were not reported at all by <junit/>
|
||
|
|
when filtertrace="on", which is the default.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* ant.bat can now also process the -noclasspath switch when it is
|
||
|
|
the first switch on a command line.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 48186.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <fixcrlf> now tries to delete the created temporary files earlier.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 48506.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* the implementation of <zip> had been changed in a way that broke
|
||
|
|
the jarjar links task and protentially other third-party subclasses
|
||
|
|
as well.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 48541.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <scp> task didn't report build file location when a remote operation failed
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 48578.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <propertyfile> would add the same comment and a date line each time
|
||
|
|
it updated an existing property file.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 48558.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <sound> didn't work properly in recent Java VMs.

Changes from Ant 1.7.1 TO Ant 1.8.0RC1
|
||
|
|
======================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Changes that could break older environments:
|
||
|
|
-------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* if and unless attributes (on <target> as well as various tasks and other
|
||
|
|
elements) have long permitted ${property} interpolation. Now, if the result
|
||
|
|
evaluates to "true" or "false" (or "yes", "no", "on", "off"), that boolean
|
||
|
|
value will be used; otherwise the traditional behavior of treating the value
|
||
|
|
as a property name (defined ~ true, undefined ~ false) is used. Existing
|
||
|
|
scripts could be broken if they perversely defined a property named "false"
|
||
|
|
and expected if="false" to be true, or used if="true" expecting this to be
|
||
|
|
triggered only if a property named "true" were defined.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Ant now requires Java 1.4 or later.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Improved handling of InterruptException (lets suppose someone/thing
|
||
|
|
is trying to kill the thread when we receive an
|
||
|
|
InterruptException), when an InterruptException is received, we do
|
||
|
|
not wait anymore in a while loop till the end time has been
|
||
|
|
reached.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 42924.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Refactor PropertyHelper and introspection APIs to make extension
|
||
|
|
more granular and support setting task/type attribute values to
|
||
|
|
objects decoded by custom PropertyEvaluator delegates. Also add
|
||
|
|
<propertyhelper> task for registering delegates and/or replacing
|
||
|
|
the registered PropertyHelper instance.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 42736.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Added a restricted form of typedef called <componentdef>. This
|
||
|
|
allows definition of elements that can only be within tasks or
|
||
|
|
types. This method is now used to define conditions, selectors,
|
||
|
|
comparators and filterreaders. This means that tasks may now have
|
||
|
|
nested conditions just by implementing the Condition interface,
|
||
|
|
rather than extending ConditionBase. It also means that the use of
|
||
|
|
namespaces for some of the selectors introduced in Ant 1.7.0 is no
|
||
|
|
longer necessary. Implementing this means that the DynamicElement
|
||
|
|
work-around introduced in Ant 1.7.0 has been removed.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 40511.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* In the <touch> task when a <mapper> is used, the millis and
|
||
|
|
datetime attributes now override the time of the source resource if
|
||
|
|
provisioned.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 43235.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Remove fall-back mechanism for references that are not resolved
|
||
|
|
during normal runtime execution.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* FileUtils.createTempFile now actually creates the file.
|
||
|
|
The TempFile task still does not create the file by default, can be
|
||
|
|
instructed to do so however using a new parameter.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 33969.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* A lock in Project ensured that a BuildListener's messageLogged
|
||
|
|
method was only ever executed by a single thread at a time, while
|
||
|
|
all other methods could be invoked by multiple threads
|
||
|
|
simultaniously (while within <parallel>, for example). This lock
|
||
|
|
is no longer in place, messageLogged should be made thread-safe
|
||
|
|
now.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <sql>'s onError="stop" no longer fails the build if an error
|
||
|
|
occurs, this is the main difference between stop and error and
|
||
|
|
matches what the documentation implied.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 24668.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Ant's configuration introspection mechanisms have been modified to prefer
|
||
|
|
Resource and FileProvider attributes to plain java.io.File attributes;
|
||
|
|
however the configuration-from-String behavior remains equivalent, rendering
|
||
|
|
a FileResource.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* CBZip2InputStream will now throw an IOException if
|
||
|
|
passed in a null or empty InputStream to read from.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Reports 32200.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <unzip> will now fail when trying to extract certain broken
|
||
|
|
archives that would have been silently ignored in earlier version.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 35000.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Ant's <zip> family of tasks tries to preserve the existing Unix
|
||
|
|
permissions when updating archives or copying entries from one
|
||
|
|
archive to another.
|
||
|
|
Since not all archiving tools support storing Unix permissions in
|
||
|
|
the same way that is used by Ant, sometimes the permissions read by
|
||
|
|
Ant seem to be 0, which means nobody is allowed to do anything to
|
||
|
|
the file or directory.
|
||
|
|
If Ant now encounters a permission set of 0 it will assume that
|
||
|
|
this is not the intended value and instead apply its own default
|
||
|
|
values. Ant used to create entries with 0 permissions itself.
|
||
|
|
The <zip> family of tasks has a new attribute preserve0permissions
|
||
|
|
that can be set to restore the old behavior.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 42122.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* If a batch containing multiple JUnit tests running inside a forked
|
||
|
|
Java VM caused the VM to crash (or caused a timeout), the
|
||
|
|
formatters would receive an error message for the last test in the
|
||
|
|
batch.
|
||
|
|
Ant will now pass in a test with the name "Batch-With-Multiple-Tests"
|
||
|
|
instead - this is supposed to show more clearly that the last test
|
||
|
|
may not have started at all.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 45227.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* If the number of minutes a build takes is bigger then 1000 Ant will
|
||
|
|
no longer print a thousands separator in the "elapsed time"
|
||
|
|
message. It used to be the thousands separator of the current
|
||
|
|
locale.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 44659.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <symlink action="delete"> used to fail if the link was broken (i.e.
|
||
|
|
pointing to a file or directory that no longer existed). It will now
|
||
|
|
silently try to remove the link.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 41285.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <delete file="..."> used to log a warning and not delete broken
|
||
|
|
symbolic links. <delete dir="..."/> didn't even log a warning.
|
||
|
|
The task will now try to delete them in both cases.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 41285.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* if the dir attribute of a <fileset> points to a symbolic link and
|
||
|
|
followsymlinks is set to false, the fileset will no longer be
|
||
|
|
scanned and always seem empty.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 45741.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* the .NET tasks that have been deprecated since Ant 1.7.0 have been
|
||
|
|
removed, please use the stand-alone Antlib you can find at
|
||
|
|
http://ant.apache.org/antlibs/dotnet/index.html
|
||
|
|
instead.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* the logic of closing streams connected to forked processes (read
|
||
|
|
the input and output of <exec> and friends) has been changed to
|
||
|
|
deal with cases where child processes of the forked processes live
|
||
|
|
longer than their parents and keep Ant from exiting.
|
||
|
|
It is unlikely but possible that the changed logic breaks stream
|
||
|
|
handling on certain Java VMs.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla issue 5003.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <checksum>'s totalproperty was platform dependent because it relied
|
||
|
|
on java.io.File#compareTo. It has now been made platform
|
||
|
|
independent, which means that totalPropery values obtained on
|
||
|
|
Windows (and other systems where the sort order of File is not case
|
||
|
|
sensitive) can be different from the values obtained with earlier
|
||
|
|
versions of Ant.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 36748.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* globmapper didn't work properly if the "to" or "from" patterns
|
||
|
|
didn't contain a "*". In particular it implicitly added a * to the
|
||
|
|
end of the pattern(s). This is no longer the case. If you relied
|
||
|
|
on this behavior you will now need to explicitly specify the
|
||
|
|
trailing "*".
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 46506.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <copy> silently ignored missing resources even with
|
||
|
|
failOnError="true". If your build tries to copy non-existent
|
||
|
|
resources and you relied on this behavior you must now explicitly
|
||
|
|
set failOnError to false.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 47362.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Ant now prefers the java.runtime.version system property over
|
||
|
|
java.vm.version for the Created-By Manifest attribute.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 47632.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The <image> task now supports a nested mapper. In order to
|
||
|
|
implement this, the Java API of the task had to change so any
|
||
|
|
custom subclass overriding the processFile method will need to
|
||
|
|
adapt (by overriding the new two-arg processFile method).
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 23243.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* A new property syntax can be used to set attributes from
|
||
|
|
references: ${ant.ref:some-reference}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In most cases this will yield the exact same result as
|
||
|
|
${toString:some-reference} - only when an attribute setter method
|
||
|
|
accepts an object type other than string and the project's
|
||
|
|
reference is an Object of matching type the new syntax will pass in
|
||
|
|
that object.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If your build file already contains properties whose name starts
|
||
|
|
with "ant.ref:" there is a potential for collision. If your
|
||
|
|
property has been set, normal property expansion will take
|
||
|
|
precedence over the new syntax. If the property has not been set
|
||
|
|
and a reference with the postfix of your property name exists
|
||
|
|
(i.e. in a very unlikely event) then the new syntax would yield a
|
||
|
|
different result (an expanded property) than Ant 1.7.1 did.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* A ProjectHelper implementation can now provide the default build file
|
||
|
|
name it is expecting, and can specify if they can support a specific build
|
||
|
|
file. So Ant is now capable of supporting several ProjectHelper
|
||
|
|
implementations, deciding on which to use depending of the input build file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Mapper-aware selectors (depends, different, present) now accept typedef'd
|
||
|
|
FileNameMappers.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Fixed bugs:
|
||
|
|
-----------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The default logger was failing to print complete stack traces for
|
||
|
|
exceptions other than BuildException when inside <ant> or
|
||
|
|
<antcall>, thus omitting often important diagnostic
|
||
|
|
information.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla 43398 (continued).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Better handling of package-info.class.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 43114.
|

Changes from Ant 1.7.0 TO Ant 1.7.1
|
||
|
|
=============================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Changes that could break older environments:
|
||
|
|
-------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* String resources only have properties single expanded. If you relied on
|
||
|
|
<string> resources being expanded more than once, it no longer happens.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla report 42277.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* A String resource's encoding attribute was only taken into account when
|
||
|
|
set from the resource's OutputStream; the InputStream provided the String's
|
||
|
|
binary content according to the platform's default encoding. Behavior has
|
||
|
|
been modified to encode outgoing (InputStream) content as well as encoding
|
||
|
|
incoming (OutputStream) content.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <java> with fork now returns gives -1 instead of 0 as result when failonerror
|
||
|
|
is false and some exception (including timeout) occurs. Br 42377.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* ant-type attribute has been marked as deprecated and a warning has been
|
||
|
|
issued if it is encountered in the build file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Fixed bugs:
|
||
|
|
-----------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The default logger was failing to print complete stack traces for exceptions
|
||
|
|
other than BuildException, thus omitting often important diagnostic
|
||
|
|
information. Bugzilla 43398.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Error in FTP task
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla report 41724
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Regression: Locator fails with URI encoding problem when spaces in path
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla report 42222
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Regression in Locator: running Ant off a network share does not work:
|
||
|
|
message "URI has authority component" appears
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla report 42275
|
||
|
|
|
||
|

|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
|
||

||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Dependset crashes ant when timestamp on files change during Dependset
|
||
|
|
execution.

||
|
|
Bugzilla report 41284

|
||
|
|
Bugzilla report 41422.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* In Ant 1.7.0, <fileset> in <javadoc> does not by default include only
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <sql> task double-expands properties if expandproperties is true,
|
||
|
|
and expands properties if expandproperties is false.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla report 41204.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Rolling back Bugzilla 32927 (set a default description for a javadoc tag
|
||
|
|
if not set) as it caused a BC problem.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla report 41268.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <apt> forks properly and so memory settings are picked up.
|
||
|
|
Bug report 41280.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Regression: NPE was thrown when using <pathconvert> against a
|
||
|
|
(third-party instantiated) fileset with null Project reference.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Handle null result of system getProperty(). Bugzilla 42334.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Regression: concat fixlastline="true" should not have applied to
|
||
|
|
nested text, but did in Ant 1.7.0. Bugzilla 42369.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Regression: ant.version was not passed down in <ant>, <subant>.
|
||
|
|
This worked in Ant 1.6.5, but not in 1.7.0.
|
||
|
|
ant.core.lib (added in 1.7.0) was also not being propagated.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla bug 42263
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Regression: bzip2 task created corrupted output files for some inputs.
|

Bugzilla 42802.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Regression: Path subclasses that overrode list() stopped working in
|
||
|
|
resourceCollection contexts in Ant 1.7.0. Bugzilla 42967.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <property> supports loading from xml based property definition.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla 42946
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
(textXXX methods). Bugzilla 42984.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* War task failed with "No WEB-INF/web.xml file was added" when called
|
||
|
|
a second time. Bugzilla 43121.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* FilterMapper could throw an NPE.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla 43292.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Regession nested macrodefs with elements could cause StackOverFlow.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla 43324.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Some changes to <junit> broke third party tasks that extend it (like
|
||
|
|
Apache Cactus' Ant task). The changes have been modified so that
|
||
|
|
subclases should now work again - without any changes to the
|
||
|
|
subclass.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Other changes:
|
||
|
|
--------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Various small optimizations speed up common tasks such as <javac> on large
|
||
|
|
filesets, reducing both I/O and CPU usage.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Profiling logger has been added with basic profiling capabilities.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <script> now has basic support for JavaFX scripts
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* SSH task can now take a command parameter containing the commands to execute.
|
||
|
|
This allows you to connect to a server and execute a number of commands
|
||
|
|
without constantly reconnecting for each command.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Upgraded XML API to XML commons version 1.3.04.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

|
||
|

||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* If you try and use a type in a namespace (or an antlib), and the type is not
|
||
|
|
recognized but there are other definitions in that namespace, Ant lists what
|
||
|
|
the known definitions are. This helps you find spelling errors.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Add a <last> resource collection, corresponding to <first>.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
* <string> resource supports nested text. Bugzilla bug 42276
|
||
|
|
|
||

|
* <scriptdef> now sources scripts from nested resources/resource collections. This lets you
|
||
|
|
define scripts in JARs, remote URLs, or any other supported resource. Bugzilla report 41597.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <concat> is now usable as a single-element ResourceCollection.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* It is now possible to provide the value of a <striplinecomments> filter's
|
||
|
|
<comment> nested element as nested text instead of using the 'value'
|
||
|
|
attribute.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|

|
|
Bugzilla 11270.
|

Changes from Ant 1.6.5 to Ant 1.7.0
|
||
|
|
===================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Changes that could break older environments:
|
||
|
|
-------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Initial support for JDK 6 (JSR 223) scripting.
|
||
|
|
<*script*> tasks will now use javax.scripting if BSF is
|
||
|
|
not available, or if explicitly requested by using
|
||
|
|
a "manager" attribute.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Removed launcher classes from nodeps jar.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <classconstants> filter reader uses ISO-8859-1 encoding to read
|
||
|
|
the java class file. Bugzilla report 33604.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Defer reference process. Bugzilla 36955, 34458, 37688.
|
||
|
|
This may break build files in which a reference was set in a target which was
|
||
|
|
never executed. Historically, Ant would set the reference early on, during parse
|
||
|
|
time, so the datatype would be defined. Now it requires the reference to have
|
||
|
|
been in a bit of the build file which was actually executed. If you get
|
||
|
|
an error about an undefined reference, locate the reference and move it somewhere
|
||
|
|
where it is used, or fix the depends attribute of the target in question to
|
||
|
|
depend on the target which defines the reference/datatype.
|
||
|
|
As a result of testing on real live build scripts, a fall-back mechanism
|
||
|
|
was put it place to allow references that are out-of-band to be resolved. If
|
||
|
|
this happens a big warning message is logged. This fall-back mechanism will
|
||
|
|
be removed in Ant 1.8.0.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <script> and <scriptdef> now set the current thread context.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Unrestrict the dbvendor names in the websphere element of the ejbjar task.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 40475.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <env> nested element in <java>, <exec> and others is now case-insensitive
|
||
|
|
for windows OS. Bugzilla Report 28874.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Removed support for xalan1 completely. Users of Xalan1 for Ant builds will
|
||
|
|
have to stay at ant 1.6.5 or upgrade to xalan2.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Use org.apache.log4j.Logger instead of org.apache.log4j.Category.
|
||
|
|
Category has been deprecated for ~2 years and has been removed from
|
||
|
|
the log4j code. Logger was introduced in log4j 1.2 so users of
|
||
|
|
log4j 1.1 and log4j 1.0 need to upgrade to a newer version of log4j.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 31951.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* build.sysclasspath now also affects the bootclasspath handling of
|
||
|
|
spawned Java VMs. If you set build.sysclasspath to anything other
|
||
|
|
than "ignore" (or leave it unset, since "ignore" is the default when
|
||
|
|
it comes to bootclasspath handling), then the bootclasspath of the
|
||
|
|
VM running Ant will be added to the bootclasspath you've specified.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The <java fork="false"> now as per default installs a security manager
|
||
|
|
using the default permissions. This is now independent of the
|
||
|
|
failonerror attribute. Bugzilla report 33361.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <signjar> now notices when the jar and signedjar are equal, and switches
|
||
|
|
to the same dependency logic as when signedjar is omitted. This may break
|
||
|
|
something that depended upon signing in this situation. However, since
|
||
|
|
invoking the JDK jarsigner program with -signedjar set to the source jar
|
||
|
|
actually crashes the JVM on our (Java1.5) systems, we don't think any
|
||
|
|
build files which actually worked will be affected by the change.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <signjar> used to ignore a nested fileset when a jar was also provided as an
|
||
|
|
attribute, printing a warning message; now it signs files in the fileset.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* An improved method of handling timestamp granularity differences between
|
||
|
|
client and server was added to the <ftp> task. FTP servers typically
|
||
|
|
have HH:mm timestamps whereas local filesystems have HH:mm:ss timestamps.
|
||
|
|
Previously, this required tweaking with the timediffmillis attribute
|
||
|
|
which also was used to handle timezone differences. Now, there is a new
|
||
|
|
timestampgranularity attribute. The default value for get operations is 0
|
||
|
|
since the user has the more powerful preservelastmodified attribute to work
|
||
|
|
with. Since this is not available on put operations the default value
|
||
|
|
adds a minute to the server timestamp in order to account for this,
|
||
|
|
Scripts which previously used timediffmillis to do this compensation may
|
||
|
|
need to be rewritten. timediffmillis has now been deprecated.

against Ant 1.7 would therefore no longer execute on older versions of Ant.

|
|
* Roll back automatic proxy enabling on Java 1.5. It broke things like
|
||
|
|
Oracle JDBC drivers, and Ant itself on IBM's JVM on AIX, and didn't
|
||
|
|
seem to work to well the rest of the time.
|
||
|
|
To enable the feature, use the -autoproxy command line option.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Upgraded XML API and parser to Xerces 2.8.1
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* A code review of some threaded logic has tightened up the synchronization

|
||
|
|
of race conditions here, especially on Java1.5+.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Allow broken reference build files. The defer reference processing would
|
||
|
|
break too many files - so allow them with a warning.
|

|
|
||
|
|
* Removed dependency on sun.misc.UUEncoder for UUMailer.
|
||
|
|
|

|
||

||
|
|
* On DOS and Netware, filenames beginning with a drive letter
|
||
|
|
and followed by a colon but with no directory separator following
|
||
|
|
the colon are no longer (incorrectly) accepted as absolute pathnames
|
||
|
|
by FileUtils.normalize() and FileUtils.isAbsolutePath(). Netware
|
||
|
|
volumes can still be specified without an intervening separator.
|
||
|
|
UNC pathnames on Windows must include a server and share name, i.e.
|
||
|
|
"\\a\b" to be considered valid absolute paths.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
schemas (files or urls) can be named in the <schema> element.
|
||
|
|
Compilers can be selected using the compiler attribute, which defaults
|
||
|

||
|
|
* <junitreport> prints a special message if supplied an empty XML File. This

|
|
System.exit() call or a JVM crash.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Project name is now used for *all* targets so one can write consistent import

|
||
|
|
|
||
|

|
||
|

|
|
|
||
|
|
* <sql> supports property expansion if you set the expandProperties
|
||
|
|
attribute. By default it does not expand properties, something we
|
||
|
|
dare not change for fear of breaking complex SQL operations in
|
||
|
|
existing files.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <javadoc>'s packagenames attribute is now optional and defaults to "*".

* <ftp> task has had a number of changes. Uptodate calculation previously
|
||
|
|
did not call a file uptodate if the source timestamp and the destination
|
||
|
|
timestamp were equal. Bugzilla report 34941. Any script that attempted
|
||
|
|
to compensate for this by using the timediffmillis attribute might need
|
||
|
|
to be tweaked.

Changes from Ant 1.6.2 to Ant 1.6.3
|
||
|
|
===================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Changes that could break older environments:
|
||
|
|
--------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The subant task used the canonical version of a file path. This
|
||
|
|
has been changed to use the absolute path. Bugzilla 30438.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Tar now writes two EOF blocks rather than one.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla report 28776
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The Reference object now has a project field which it uses in preference
|
||
|
|
to the project passed in. This allows composite references to be
|
||
|
|
handled to nested projects.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla report 25777
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <junit> with filtertrace="true" will now also swallow lines for the
|
||
|
|
sun.reflect package. If you need to see them in your stack trace,
|
||
|
|
you must set filtertrace to false.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 22758
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The jikes compiler adapter now supports -bootclasspath, -extdirs and
|
||
|
|
-sourcepath and also uses the same logic for debug flags as javac.
|
||
|
|
This means, the jikes compiler adapter now requires Jikes 1.15 or later.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Reports 25868, 26404 and 32609.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The gcj compiler adapter used to include the Java runtime classes
|
||
|
|
even if includeJavaRuntime was set to false, unless the
|
||
|
|
bootclasspath has been specified as well. It will now always adhere
|
||
|
|
to includeJavaRuntime, you may need to set it to true explicitly now
|
||
|
|
if you relied on the old behavior.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Other changes:
|
||
|
|
--------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <javadoc> can now take an attribute 'executable'. Bugzilla report 30606.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* New attribute ignorecontents for <different> selector
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Javadoc fixes for Location, Project, and RuntimeConfigurable
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla 30160.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Enable to choose the regexp implementation without system property.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 15390.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Expose objects and methods in IntrospectionHelper. Bugzilla Report 30794.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Allow file attribute of <move> to rename a directory.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 22863.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Add xmlcatalog nested element to XmlProperty. Bugzilla report 27053.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* New attribute alwayslog for <redirector> type.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Added <target> nested elements to <ant> and <antcall> to allow
|
||
|
|
specification of multiple sub-build targets, which are executed
|
||
|
|
with a single dependency analysis.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Refactored Target invocation into org.apache.tools.ant.Executor
|
||
|
|
implementations. Bugzilla Reports 21421, 29248.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <rmic> now also supports Kaffe's rmic version shipping with Kaffe
|
||
|
|
1.1.2 and above.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* added casesensitive attribute to <globmapper> and <regexpmapper>
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla report 16686
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* added handledirsep attribute to <globmapper> and <regexpmapper>
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla report 32487
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* added a new mapper <filtermapper>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* When a BuildListener tried to access System.err or System.out, Ant
|
||
|
|
would have thrown an exception - this has been changed. Ant now
|
||
|
|
silently ignores the message. BuildListeners still should avoid
|
||
|
|
accessing either stream.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Added a comment attribute to the zip task.
|
||
|

|
|
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
to create nonexistent parent directories.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <apply> has a new "force" attribute that, when true, disables
|
||
|
|
checking of target files.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Made the dest attribute of the apply task optional; mapped target
|
||
|
|
filenames will be interpreted as absolute pathnames when dest is omitted.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Changed default tempdir for <javac> from user.dir to java.io.tmpdir.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Added searchpath attribute to <exec> for searching path variable(s)
|
||
|
|
when resolveexecutable = true.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Added revision and userid attributes to <pvcs> documentation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Added support to the touch task for a mkdirs attribute to create
|
||
|
|
nonexistent parent directories before touching new files.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Added support to the touch task for a pattern attribute to allow
|
||
|
|
alternate datetime formats.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Added support to the touch task to map touched files using a nested
|
||
|
|
mapper element.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Added support to the touch task for a verbose attribute to suppress
|
||
|
|
logging of new file creation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* bad link in docs to the enhancement page in bugzilla.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla report 33252.
|
||
|
|

|
|
||
|
|
* <native2ascii> and <javah> now also support Kaffe's versions.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Recursive token expansion in a filterset can now be disabled by
|
||
|
|
setting its recurse attribute to false.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Pathconvert no longer requires that one of (targetos|pathsep|dirsep)
|
||
|
|
be set; platform defaults are used when this is the case.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Added preservelastmodified attribute to fixcrlf task. Bugzilla 25770.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Added isfileselected condition.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Added verbose="true|false" attribute to <subant>. When verbose is enabled,
|
||
|
|
the directory name is logged on entry and exit of the sub-build.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla 33787.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Added -nouserlib option to allow running ant without automatically loading
|
||
|
|
up ${user.home}/.lib/ant. This is useful when compiling ant, and antlibs.
|
||
|
|
Modified the build.sh and build.bat to use the option.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Added -noclasspath option to allow running ant WITHOUT using CLASSPATH env
|
||
|
|
variable. Modified ant.bat to do this so that %CLASSPATH% is not looked at.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Add else attribute to the condition task, which specifies an
|
||
|
|
optional alternate value to set the property to if the nested
|
||
|
|
condition evaluates to false. Bugzilla report 33074.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

|
|
Solaris. Bugzilla Report 32649.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <rexec> with a single command should now work with unusal login
|
||
|
|
dialogs without special read/write pairs. Bugzilla Report 26632.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <csc>'s extraoptions can now contain multiple arguments.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 23599.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <macrodef> with default values set by properties would be
|
||
|
|
seen as new definitions when called twice with different properties.
|
||
|
|
This was confusing so the definitions are now treated as similar.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 31215.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <javadoc> has a new attribute "includenosourcepackages" that can be

package.html file. Bugzilla Report 25339.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <rpm> has new attributes failonerror and quiet.
|
||
|

|
|
- task developers: using path, fileset etc

|
|
|
||
|
|
* a number of new attributes that allow the user to handle non-standard
|
||
|
|
server listing formats and time zone differences have been added in
|
||
|
|
the <ftp> task.

||
|

Changes from Ant 1.6.1 to Ant 1.6.2
|
||
|
|
===================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Changes that could break older environments:
|
||
|
|
--------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The import task used the canonical version of a file path. This
|
||
|
|
has been changed to use the absolute path. Bugzilla 28505.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* ant-xalan2.jar has been removed since the only class contained in it
|
||
|
|
didn't depend on Xalan-J 2 at all. Its sole dependency has always
|
||
|
|
been TraX and so it has been merged into ant-trax.jar.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* All exceptions thrown by tasks are now wrapped in a buildexception
|
||
|
|
giving the location in the buildfile of the task.
|
||
|
|
|
||

|
* Nested elements for namespaced tasks and types may belong to the
|
||
|
|
Ant default namespace as well as the task's or type's namespace.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <junitreport> will very likely no longer work with Xalan-J 1.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note that Xalan-J 1 has been deprecated for a very long time and we
|
||
|
|
highly recommend that you upgrade.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you really need to continue using Xalan-J 1, please copy the
|
||
|
|
junit-frames-xalan1.xsl from the distribution's etc directory as
|
||
|
|
junit-frames.xsl into a new directory and use the task's styledir
|
||
|
|
attribute to point to. This is the last version of the XSLT
|
||
|
|
stylesheet that is expected to be compatible with Xalan-J 1.

|
|
|
||
|
|
* <junit> has a new forkmode attribute that controls the number of
|
||
|
|
Java VMs that get created when forking tests. This allows you to
|
||
|
|
run all tests in a single forked JVM reducing the overhead of VM

creation a lot. Bugzilla Report 24697.
|
||

|
||
|

* A new roundup attribute on <zip> and related task can be used to
|

|
control whether the file modification times inside the archive will
|

|
|
a granularity of two seconds). The default remains to round up.
|

|
|
Bugzilla Report 17934.
|

|
|
||
|
|

Bugzilla Report 28340.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Nested file mappers and a container mapper implementation have been
|
||
|
|
introduced. Additionally, the <mapper> element now accepts "defined"
|
||
|
|
nested FileNameMapper implementations directly, allowing a usage
|
||
|
|
comparable to those of <condition>, <filter>, and <selector>.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* New <redirector> type introduced to provide extreme I/O flexibility.
|
||
|
|
Initial support for <exec>, <apply>, and <java> tasks.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <apply> has a new ignoremissing attribute (default true for BC)
|
||
|
|
which will allow nonexistent files specified via <filelist>s to

|
|

||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 27541.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <jspc> doesn't work properly with Tomcat 5.x. We've implemented a
|
||
|
|
work-around but don't intend to support future changes in Tomcat
|
||
|
|
5.x. Please use the jspc task that ships with Tomcat instead of
|
||
|
|
Ant's.

|
||
|
|
- Extended the functionality of cccheckout. It can check (notco) to see if
|
||
|
|
the desired element is already checked out to the current view. Thus it
|
||
|
|
won't attempt to check it out again.
|
||
|
|
- Added three new ClearCase commands: ccmkattr, ccmkdir, ccmkelem
|
||

Changes from Ant 1.5.4 to Ant 1.6.0
|
||
|
|
===================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Changes that could break older environments:
|
||
|
|
--------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* This version of Ant can not be built with JDK 1.1 and requires at
|
||
|
|
least Java 1.2 at runtime as well. Compiling for a 1.1 target is
|
||
|
|
still supported.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Targets cannot have the empty string as their name any longer.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* ant.jar's manifest does no longer include a Class-Path entry, so it
|
||
|
|
is no longer possible to run Ant via "java -jar ant.jar" without
|
||
|
|
manually altering the CLASSPATH. Instead of that a file
|
||
|
|
ant-bootstrap.jar is included in the etc directory of the binary
|
||
|
|
distribution, copy this to the lib directory and use
|
||
|
|
"java -jar ant-bootstrap.jar" instead if you want to run Ant without
|
||
|
|
the wrapper script (not recommended).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The <script> task now requires Apache BSF instead of the older IBM
|
||
|
|
version. See <http://jakarta.apache.org/bsf/>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <xmlproperty> will no longer fail if the file to be loaded doesn't exist.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* XML namespaces are now enabled in the XML parser, meaning XML namespace
|
||
|
|
declarations no longer cause errors. However task names containing colons
|
||
|
|
will cause errors unless there is a corresponding namespace uri.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The <ftp> and <telnet> tasks now require Jakarta Commons Net instead
|
||
|
|
of the older ORO Netcomponents version. See
|
||
|
|
<http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/net/index.html>.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <input> will no longer prompt the user and wait for input if the
|
||
|
|
addproperty attribute is set to a property that has already been
|
||
|
|
defined in the project. If you rely on the task waiting for input,
|
||
|
|
don't use the addproperty attribute.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The Class-Path attribute in manifests will no longer merge the
|
||
|
|
entries of all manifests found, but will be treated like all other
|
||
|
|
manifest attributes - the most recent attribute(s) will be used.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* New Launch mechanism implemented. This moves some functionality from
|
||
|
|
the batch files / shell scripts into Java. This removes environment
|
||
|
|
limitations, for command issues, directory depth issues on Windows. Also
|
||
|
|
allows a per-user library location to be used if the main Ant install
|
||
|
|
is locked down.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The Entry nested element of PropertyFile will not any more have its value
|
||
|
|
attribute (actually increment) overwritten with the new value of the entry
|
||
|
|
after execution.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Output stored from a <java> or <exec> task is now exactly as generated. No
|
||
|
|
conversion to platform end-of-line characters is performed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <translate> will now preserve line endings.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <ftp> followsymlinks="false" in nested fileset definitions is explicitly
|
||
|
|
required in order to exclude remote symbolic links (when doing a get, chmod,
|
||
|
|
delete, rmdir).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The values of the Copy#fileCopyMap variable has changed from String to
|
||
|
|
String[]. (In java 1.5 terms it was Hashtable<String, String> and
|
||
|
|
is now Hashtable<String, String[]>). This will affect third party code
|
||
|
|
that extend Copy and override Copy#doFileOperations.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <loadproperties> didn't expand properties while <property file="..."/>
|
||
|
|
does, so they were not equivalent. This has been fixed, which means
|
||
|
|
that propetries may get expanded twice if you use an
|
||
|
|
<expandproperties> filterreader. Bugzilla Report 17782.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* User defined tasks and typedefs are now handled internally in the
|
||
|
|
same way as predefined tasks and typedefs. Also tasks and typedefs
|
||
|
|
are resolved at a later stage. This causes some
|
||
|
|
differences especially for user defined task containers.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <checksum> log message "Calculating checksum ..." has been degraded
|
||
|
|
from INFO to VERBOSE.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Fixed bugs:
|
||
|
|
-----------
|
||
|
|
* Filter readers were not handling line endings properly. Bugzilla
|
||
|
|
Report 18476.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Filtersets were also not handling line endings properly.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Expand tasks did not behave as expected with PatternSets.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <property environment=... /> now works on OS/400.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <cab> could hang listcab on large <fileset>s.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The starteam stcheckout, stcheckin tasks now correctly compute
|
||
|
|
status of files against whatever local tree they are run against
|
||
|
|
and, optionally, will not process a file if it is current.
|
||
|
|
Previously you had to process everything unless you ran against the
|
||
|
|
default folder which wasn't the normal use-case for ant-starteam.
|
||
|
|
The stlist task now similarly displays that status correctly making
|
||
|
|
it a more generally useful tool.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* entity includes would cause exceptions if path names included spaces.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* addConfiguredXXX would not work for TaskAdapter wrapped tasks
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Fix <ilasm> outputfile testing so that the output file does not need
|
||
|
|
to exist beforehand.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Ant will now exit with a return code of 1 if it encounters problems
|
||
|
|
with the command line arguments.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* ClassLoader creation changes to use a factory method in Project. A new
|
||
|
|
class AntClassLoader2 implemented for 1.2+ specific features including
|
||
|
|
Package information and addition of classes specified in the Class-Path
|
||
|
|
element of a Jar's manifest.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* It is now possible in <exec> to resolve the executable to a project
|
||
|
|
basedir or execution dir relative executable. The resolveExecutable
|
||
|
|
must be used to pick up such executables.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* splash screen wouldn't disappear when build was finished.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <exec> output and error streams can now be redirected independently
|
||
|
|
to either a property or a file (or both)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* TarEntry's File-arg constructor would fail with a
|
||
|
|
StringIndexOutOfBoundsException on all OSes where os.name is shorter
|
||
|
|
than seven characters. Bugzilla Report 18105.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <copy> and <move>'s failonerror didn't apply to filesets pointing to
|
||
|
|
non-existent directories. Bugzilla Report 18414.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The <stripjavacomments> filter sometimes removed parts of string
|
||
|
|
constants. Bugzilla Report 17441.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <antlr> will now recompile your grammar if the supergrammar has
|
||
|
|
changed. Bugzilla Report 12691.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <property env> will now work on Unices with /bin/env instead of
|
||
|
|
/usr/bin/env. Bugzilla Report 17642.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <jar index="on"> could include multiple index lists. Bugzilla 10262.
|

||
|
|
* <tar> and <zip> didn't honor the defaultexcludes attribute for the
|
||
|
|
implicit fileset. Bugzilla Report 18637.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The <replacetokens> filter would throw an exception if the token's
|
||
|
|
value was an empty string. Bugzilla Report 18625.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Perforce tasks relying on output from the server such as <p4change>
|
||
|
|
and <p4label> were hanging. Bugzilla Reports 18129 and 18956.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Improve exception and logging behavior of Perforce tasks.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla report 18154.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 17257
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <replaceregexp> didn't work for multi-byte encodings if byline was false.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 19187.
|
||
|
|
|

|
||
|
|
argument using forked <javac> and (all JDKS). Bugzilla Report 10499.
|
||
|

NB : a first correction was only introducing quotes for JDK 1.4
|
||
|
|
It has been changed to quote for all external compilers when paths
|
||
|
|
contain spaces.
|
||
|
|
Also the backslashes need to be converted to forward slashes
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 17683.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Setting filesonly to true in <zip> and related tasks would cause the
|
||
|
|
archives to be always recreated. Bugzilla Report 19449.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* file names that include spaces need to be quoted inside the @argfile
|
||
|
|
argument using <javadoc> and JDK 1.4. Bugzilla Report 16871.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <junit> didn't work with custom formatters that were only available
|
||
|
|
on the user specified classpath when a timeout occurred. Bugzilla
|
||
|
|
Report 19953.
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|

will not work at all outside of targets as they would cause infinite
|
||
|
|
loops (<antcall> as well as <ant> and <subant> if they invoke the

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <ftp> has attributes timediffauto and timediffmillis to use together
|
||
|
|
with the newer attribute to tell ant to take into account a time difference
|
||
|
|
between client and remote side.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 19358.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <ftp> has been optimized to go directly to the include patterns.
|
||
|
|
This reduces scanning time under UNIX when followsymlinks="true"
|

and casesensitive="true" (the default)
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 20103.

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

|
of current.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* new task <symlink> that creates and maintains symbolic links.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|

|
||
|
|
works for the code generated by the Sun java compiler. It may not work for
|
||
|
|
all compilers.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* a new attribute "globalopts" can be added to all Perforce tasks.
|
||
|
|
You can put in it all the strings described by p4 help usage. Refer to
|
||
|
|
the docs for more information.
|
||
|
|
|

|
|
* new Perforce tasks <p4integrate> , <p4resolve>, and <p4labelsync>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <p4submit> will change the property p4.change if the Perforce server
|
||
|
|
renumbers the change list.
|

|
|
platform's default.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The <exec> task may now have its input redirected from either a file
|
||
|
|
or a string from the build file. The error output can be separated
|

to a different file when outut is redirected. standard error may be
|
||
|
|
logged to the Ant log when redirecting output to a file
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The <java> task also supports the input redirection and separate
|
||
|
|
error streams introduced to the <exec> task. In addition, it is now

possible to save the output into a property for use within the build
|
||
|
|
file as was possible with <exec> in Ant 1.5
|
||

|
|
filesets. Bugzilla Report 18046.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* New task <sync> that synchronizes two directory trees.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <apply> has new forwardslash attribute that can force filenames to
|
||
|
|
use forward slashes (/) as file separators even on platforms with a
|
||
|
|
different separator. This is useful if you want to run certain
|
||
|
|
ported Unix tools.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Copy has a new outputencoding attribute that can be used to change
|

Changes from Ant 1.5.3 to Ant 1.5.4
|
||
|
|
===================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Changes that could break older environments:
|
||
|
|
--------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* If the Visual Age tasks used to work for you, they may stop doing so
|
||
|
|
now - and we'd like to know about it. The current set of tasks is
|
||
|
|
supposed to work with any version of VAJ starting with 3.0.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Fixed bugs:
|
||
|
|
-----------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The Visual Age for Java tasks didn't work (at least for versions 3.0
|
||
|
|
and higher). Bugzilla Report 10016.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* URL-encoding in <vaj*port> didn't work properly.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* VAJRemoteUtil called getAbsolutePath instead of getPath
|
||
|
|
causing problems when using a Windows VAJ server from a UNIX server.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 20457.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* VAJImport task failed with NullPointerException when using DirectoryScanner.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 22080.
|

|
|
|
||
|
|
Other changes:
|

|
|
--------------

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The VAJ tasks now support a haltonfailure attribute to conditionally
|
||
|
|
keep building even if they fail.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* It is now possible to use the latest (versioned or unversioned) edition
|
||
|
|
in <vajload> by using special wildcard characters. Also fixes

Changes from Ant 1.5.2 to Ant 1.5.3
|
||
|
|
===================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Changes that could break older environments:
|
||
|
|
--------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The <zip> task and friends have again changed a method signature
|
||
|
|
(sorry, was necessary to fix bug 17780). The return type of
|
||
|
|
getResourcesToAdd has changed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Fixed bugs:
|
||
|
|
-----------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <zipfileset>'s filemode would get ignored and the dirmode was used
|
||
|
|
for the included files as well. As a side effect, WinZIP was unable
|
||
|
|
to extract or display the files, so they seemed to be missing from
|
||
|
|
the archive. Bugzilla Report 17648.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <ftp> could use the wrong path separator when trying to change the
|
||
|
|
remote working directory. Bugzilla Report 17735.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <jar update="true"> would loose all original files if you didn't
|
||
|
|
specify any nested <(zip)fileset>s and the manifest had changed.
|
||
|
|
Bugzilla Report 17780.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* If you used a value starting with \ on Windows for the appxml
|
||
|
|
attribute of <ear> or the webxml attribute of <war>, it would be
|
||
|
|
ignored. Bugzilla Report 17871.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Ant will no longer implicitly add Sun's rt.jar in <javac> when you
|
||
|
|
use jvc and don't specify a bootclasspath. Bugzilla Report 18055.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The prefix attribute of <zipfileset> would not generate directory
|
||
|
|
entries for the prefix itself. Bugzilla Report 18403.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* starteam checkout can now handle deleted labels. Bugzilla Report 17646.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The Unix wrapper script failed if you invoked it as a relative
|
||
|
|
symlink and ANT_HOME has not been set. Bugzilla Report 17721.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Other Changes:
|
||
|
|
--------------
|
||
|
|
* Added ability to specify manifest encoding for the <jar> and
|
||
|
|
<manifest> tasks
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Changes from Ant 1.5.1 to Ant 1.5.2
|
||
|
|
=============================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Changes that could break older environments:
|
||
|
|
--------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
* ANT_OPTS environment variable is now applied at the start of the
|
||
|
|
Java command line, allowing position specific parameters of some
|
||
|
|
JVMs, such as -classic to be specified.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* ZipScanner#getIncludedFiles will now return the names of the ZipEntries
|
||
|
|
that have been matched instead of the name of the archive.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The <zip> task and friends have been heavily modified, almost every
|
||
|
|
method signature of the Zip class has changed. If you have subclassed
|
||
|
|
Zip (or one of its subclasses), your class will most likely not
|
||
|
|
compile against the current code base. If it still compiles, it will
|
||
|
|
probably not work as in Ant 1.5.1.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Fixed bugs:
|
||
|
|
-----------
|
||
|
|
* <translate> was not ignoring comment lines.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <manifest> wouldn't update an existing manifest if only an attribute
|
||
|
|
of an existing section changed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* ant.bat now supports the ANT_ARGS and JAVACMD environment variables
|
||
|
|
again (like Ant 1.5 did).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The "plain" <junit> <formatter> could throw a NullPointerException
|
||
|
|
if an error occurred in setUp.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <junit> will now produce output when a test times out as well.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <replace> would count some internal character replacements when
|
||
|
|
reporting the number of replaced tokens.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <concat> would cause an exception if a <filelist> pointed to files
|
||
|
|
that do not exist.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <javadoc> will now pass -source to custom doclets as well.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <cvstagdiff> would throw a NullPointException if there had been no
|
||
|
|
differences.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <cvschangelog> could miss today's changes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <concat> could append newline characters between concatenated files.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <xmlvalidate> ignored the specified encoding of the files to
|
||
|
|
validate.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* the errorsbeginat attribute of the <http> condition didn't work.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Ant will try to force loading of certain packages like com.sun.*
|
||
|
|
from the system classloader. The packages are determined by the
|
||
|
|
version of the JVM running Ant.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Ant didn't find the runtime libraries on IBM's JDK 1.4 for Linux.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* random component of temporary files is now always a positive integer.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Ant could incorrectly try to use the 1.4 regexp implementation even
|
||
|
|
if it isn't available if you run the JVM with -Xverify:none.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Ant would die with an exception if you used nested <reference>
|
||
|
|
elements in Ant and the refid attribute didn't point to an existing
|
||
|
|
project reference.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The <get> task can now be compiled (and Ant thus bootstrapped) using
|
||
|
|
Kaffee.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* build.sysclasspath will now be honored by more tasks.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The signjar keystore attribute has been reverted to a String allowing
|
||
|
|
it to once again accept URLs. This should not affect current File based usage
|
||
|
|
unless you are extending the Signjar task.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <jar update="true"> would remove the original manifest.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* fix up folder creation in PVCS task
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <tar>'s up-to-date check didn't work for nested <(tar)fileset>s.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Corrected a problem in XMLLogger where it would not associated
|
||
|
|
messages with a taskdef'd task
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <uptodate> now works when using attributes (i.e. not filesets) and pointing
|
||
|
|
to the same file
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Java task (and output system) now stores output which doos not end
|
||
|
|
with a line feed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* splash screen wouldn't disappear when build was finished.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <exec> now supports OS/2.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <zip> and friends would only update/recreate existing archives if
|
||
|
|
the files to add/update have been newer than the archive.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <javadoc>'s <link> element could fail for offline="true" on some JDKs.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Other changes:
|
||
|
|
--------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* MailLogger now sets the Date header correctly.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Shipped XML parser is now Xerces 2.3.0
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* signjar now accepts a maxmemory attribute to allow the memory allocated to the
|
||
|
|
jarsigner tool to be specified. The jarsigner from the JDK's JAVA_HOME bin
|
||
|
|
dir is now used rather than the first jarsigner on the path.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* **/.DS_Store has been added to the list of default pattern excludes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The Created-By header in the default manifest now contains the JVM
|
||
|
|
vendor and version according to the jar specification. A new header,
|
||
|
|
Ant-Version provides the Ant version used to create the jar.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <zip> can now store Unix permissions in a way that can be
|
||
|
|
reconstructed by Info-Zip's unzip command.
|
||
|
|

||
|
|
Changes from Ant 1.5.1Beta1 to 1.5.1
|
||
|
|
====================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Fixed bugs:
|
||
|
|
-----------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <tstamp>'s prefix attribute failed to apply to nested <format> elements.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <junitreport> created an empty junit-noframes.html if no format had
|
||
|
|
been specified.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <basename> would remove more than it should if the file name
|
||
|
|
contained more than one dot.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <filterset>s nested into <filterset>s didn't work.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Other changes:
|
||
|
|
--------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Shipped XML parser is now Xerces 2.2.0
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Filesets now support a 'file' attribute, allowing a single-file
|
||
|
|
fileset to be constructed without having to specify its parent
|
||
|
|
directory separately.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <junit> will now return the result of a call to getName instead of
|
||
|
|
"unknown" for Test implementations that don't extend TestCase but have
|
||
|
|
a public String getName() method.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Changes from Ant 1.5 to 1.5.1Beta1
|
||
|
|
==================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Fixed bugs:
|
||
|
|
-----------
|
||
|
|
* Date/time in CvsChangeLog was in local timezone and 12 hour format leading
|
||
|
|
to a problem when sorting by time. It is now UTC (GMT) and in 24-hour
|
||
|
|
format as per cvs 'specifications'.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* CvsTagDiff now supports ampersand modules or modules that have a different
|
||
|
|
root directory than their name.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* EjbJar threw NPEs for the Websphere element. The property 'websphere.home'
|
||
|
|
was not documented.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Mail example in the documentation was not correct.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Checksum was broken in the following scenario:
|
||
|
|
(using verifyproperty OR in a condition) AND using filesets
|
||
|
|
with multiple files.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The ExpandProperties filter threw NPEs when defined using
|
||
|
|
the <filterreader> format.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The sh wrapper script didn't work under Cygwin if ANT_HOME wasn't
|
||
|
|
set with a Unix style filename.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The sh wrapper script could fail if you started Ant from a directory
|
||
|
|
with whitespace in its name.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* ant -diagnostics was not working properly when the task dependency
|
||
|
|
was missing and was just printing the missing dependency.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* If a task got redefined via <taskdef>, it lost its child elements.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <property>'s classpathref attribute was broken.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <arg line="''" /> would result in no command line argument, will now
|
||
|
|
be a single empty argument. Use <arg value="''"/> if you need the
|
||
|
|
quotes literally.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <replaceregexp> could append a newline character at the end of the
|
||
|
|
file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Other changes:
|
||
|
|
--------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Appendix E of Java Development with Ant (Loughran/Hatcher) was
|
||
|
|
contributed to the docs.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <available> will only print deprecration warnings if it is actually
|
||
|
|
used to change the value of a property.
|
||
|
|

|
Changes from Ant 1.5beta3 to Ant 1.5
|
||
|
|
====================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Changes that could break older environments:
|
||
|
|
--------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The filesetmanifest attribute added to <jar> after the 1.4.1
|
||
|
|
release has been removed for now. This change may affect only
|
||
|
|
the 1.5Beta/1.6Alpha users. An attempt will be made to add this
|
||
|
|
feature back into Ant 1.6.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Fixed bugs:
|
||
|
|
-----------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <zip> and friends would always update existing archive if you set
|
||
|
|
the update attribute to true.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* To support backward compatibility with older versions, <pathconvert>
|
||
|
|
will once again set the property, even if the result is the empty
|
||
|
|
string, unless the new 'setonempty' attribute is set to false|no|off
|
||
|
|
(default is "true").
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The manifest task would crash XmlLogger
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Other changes:
|
||
|
|
--------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* added **/.svn and **/.svn/** to the default excludes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Changes from Ant 1.5beta2 to Ant 1.5beta3
|
||
|
|
=========================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Changes that could break older environments:
|
||
|
|
--------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <pvcs> default filenameformat has been different from Ant 1.4.1.
|
||
|
|
Now it is different from 1.5beta1 and 1.5beta2.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <pathconvert> won't set the property if the result is the empty string.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Fixed bugs:
|
||
|
|
-----------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <available> could fail to find files or directories that happen to
|
||
|
|
start with the name of the project's basedir but are not children of
|
||
|
|
the basedir.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Nested <property>'s inside <ant> can now be overriden by subsequent
|
||
|
|
<ant> and <antcall> tasks.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <xslt>'s outputtype attribute wouldn't do anything.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <linecontains> filterreader could swallow lines.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <sequential> used to configure the tasks (set their attributes)
|
||
|
|
before the first task has been executed. This means that properties
|
||
|
|
that have been set by nested task seemed to be unset for the other
|
||
|
|
tasks in the same <sequential> element.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <javac>'s sourcepath setting has been ignored by some compiler
|
||
|
|
implementations.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <javadoc>'s packagelist attribute didn't work.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* the plain mailer would always use port 25 in <mail>.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Ant's default logger could swallow empty lines.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* ejbjar's iPlanet nested element now can process multiple descriptors.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* IPlanetEjbc was looking in the wrong place for four iiop files.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <javac> would pass the -source switch to JDK 1.3's javac, even
|
||
|
|
though it doesn't support it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Other changes:
|
||
|
|
--------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <checksum> now uses a buffer (of configurable size).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The "Trying to override task definition" warning has been degraded
|
||
|
|
to verbose level if the two task definitions only differ in the class
|
||
|
|
loader instance that has loaded the definition.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Add a jvmargs to the ejbjar's weblogic element to allow additional
|
||
|
|
arguments to be provided to the VM runnign ejbc. Document the
|
||
|
|
jvmdebuglevel attribute which can be used to avoid warnings about
|
||
|
|
interface classess being found on the classpath. Document the new
|
||
|
|
<sysproperty> element which allows JVM properties to be defined.
|
||
|
|
Added an outputdir attribute to allow the destination to be a
|
||
|
|
directory into which the exploded jar is written.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* ejbjar now supports Borland Enterprise Server 5 and Jonas 2.5
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Changes from Ant 1.5beta1 to Ant 1.5beta2
|
||
|
|
=========================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Changes that could break older environments:
|
||
|
|
--------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Properties will now be expanded in mail message bodies. This means
|
||
|
|
that one $ sign will be stripped if your mail message contains the text $$.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Expand no longer extends MatchingTask.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Available#setFile now again uses a File argument as it did in 1.4,
|
||
|
|
this may break environments that have been adapted to the String
|
||
|
|
argument version present in 1.5beta1.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Fixed bugs:
|
||
|
|
-----------
|
||
|
|
* When <move> attempts a rename, it deletes the destination file, if it
|
||
|
|
exists, before renaming the source file. However, <move> was not
|
||
|
|
checking if the destination file was actually a directory before
|
||
|
|
trying to delete it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Make CVS Tasks to work under Cygwin.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Fix LineContains to handle huge files elegantly without causing
|
||
|
|
Stack Overflows.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* if you ask for the "classic" compiler on Java1.4, you get upgraded to
|
||
|
|
"modern" because there is no classic compiler any more.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* the <http> condition was viewing 404 'not found' exceptions as success. Now
|
||
|
|
it defaults to viewing any response >=400 as an error, and has an
|
||
|
|
errorsBeginAt attribute you can use if you want a higher or lower value.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <get> throws a build exception on an http authorization error, unless you
|
||
|
|
have set ignoreerrors to true.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <wsdltodotnet> was spelt in Wintel case: <WsdlToDotnet>. It is now lower
|
||
|
|
case, though the old spelling is retained for anyone who used it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Merging of Manifests in jar now works as documented.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* paths that have been separated by colons would be incorrectly parsed
|
||
|
|
on NetWare.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* runant.pl now supports NetWare.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <tempfile> and <setproxy> tasks were in beta1, but not defined by
|
||
|
|
default; They now are. <tempfile> fills a property with the name of a
|
||
|
|
temporary file; <setproxy> lets you set the JVM's http, ftp and socks proxy
|
||
|
|
settings.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <available classname="foo" ignoresystemclasses="true"> failed for
|
||
|
|
JDK 1.1 and 1.2, even if the class could be found on the
|
||
|
|
user-specified classpath.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <property environment=... /> now works on z/OS.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* forked <javac> failed for the wrong reason on JDK 1.1 - Ant would
|
||
|
|
use a temporary file to hold the names of the files to compile under
|
||
|
|
some conditons, but 1.1 doesn't support this feature. Ant will no
|
||
|
|
longer try this, but you may run into problems with the length of the
|
||
|
|
command line now.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* the refid attribute for <property>s nested into <ant> or <param>s
|
||
|
|
nested into <antcall> didn't work.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <replaceregexp> didn't work for nested <fileset>s.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <javadoc> dropped sourcepath entries if no "interesting" .java
|
||
|
|
source files could be found below them. This has been backwards
|
||
|
|
incompatible and caused problems with custom doclets like xdoclet.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Using the doclet, docletpath or docletpathref attributes of
|
||
|
|
<javadoc> may have caused NullPointerExceptions.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* nested <filesets> of <javadoc> would include too much.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <dependset> will no longer choke on <targetfileset>s that point to
|
||
|
|
non-existing directories.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <patch> didn't work at all.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <replace> and <replaceregexp> now fail if the file they are working
|
||
|
|
on is locked.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <javadoc> would pick up the wrong executable in the combination JDK
|
||
|
|
1.2 and AIX.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Other changes:
|
||
|
|
--------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* z/OS now gets detected by the os condition.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <fileset> and <dirset> now have an optional followsymlink attribute
|
||
|
|
that can prevent Ant from following symbolic links on some platforms.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* BeanShell is now supported in the <script> task.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <ejbjar> under Weblogic attempts to use the ejbc20 compiler for 2.0 beans
|
||
|
|
based on the deployment descriptor's DTD reference. Under weblogic 7.00 Beta
|
||
|
|
this ejbc class has been deprecated. To avoid the deprecation warning use
|
||
|
|
ejbcclass="weblogic.ejbc".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <ejbjar> will add a manifest to the generated jar based on the naming
|
||
|
|
convention in use. This overrides the manifest specified in the
|
||
|
|
<ejbjar> attribute
|
||
|

Changes from Ant 1.4.1 to 1.5beta1
|
||
|
|
==================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Changes that could break older environments:
|
||
|
|
--------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Important: Single $ signs are no longer silently stripped!
|
||
|
|
Before you panic that we have broken all your build files, we have kept
|
||
|
|
the old "$$" -> "$" behaviour. So only build files which accidentally had
|
||
|
|
a $ sign in a string that was being silently stripped may break.
|
||
|
|
We added this fix to stop newbie confusion; if you want to write a
|
||
|
|
build file which works on ant versions 1.4.1 or earlier, stay with
|
||
|
|
the double $$ sign rule.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Project.getBuildListeners now returns a clone of the listener
|
||
|
|
list. Changes to the returned list will not affect the listeners
|
||
|
|
currently attached to the Project. It also means that it is safe to
|
||
|
|
iterate over the returned list if listeners are added or removed
|
||
|
|
during the traversal.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <pvcs> default filenameformat has been different from Ant 1.4.1.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Some messages that are printed during startup will not be
|
||
|
|
written to the logfile specified via -logfile as they might destroy
|
||
|
|
the format of the file for special BuildLoggers (like XmlLogger).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The filesetmanifest attribute added to <jar> after the 1.4.1
|
||
|
|
release has been removed for now. This change may affect only
|
||
|
|
the 1.5Beta/1.6Alpha users. An attempt will be made to add this
|
||
|
|
feature back into Ant 1.6.
|
||
|
|
* Shipped XML parser is now Xerces 2.0.1 along with the XML Parser APIs.
|
||
|
|
XML Parser APIs is a separate jar that contains the necessary
|
||
|
|
JAXP/DOM/SAX classes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <telnet> was fixed to expand properties inside nested <read> and
|
||
|
|
<write> elements; before this only happened when you assigned the text
|
||
|
|
to the string attribute. If you had $ signs in the string, they may
|
||
|
|
need escaping.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* the RegexpMatcher interface has been extended to support case
|
||
|
|
insensitive matches and other options - custom implementations of
|
||
|
|
this interface won't work any longer. We recommend to use the new
|
||
|
|
Regexp interface that also supports substitution instead of the
|
||
|
|
RegexpMatcher interface in the future.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <gzip> will throw an exception if your src attribute points to a directory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Unjar, Unzip and Unwar will throw an exception if the Src attribute
|
||
|
|
represents a directory. Support for nested filesets is provided
|
||
|
|
instead.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* It is no longer possible to overwrite a property using tasks like
|
||
|
|
<condition>, <exec>, <pathconvert>, or <tstamp>. In some exceptional
|
||
|
|
cases it will generate a warning if you attempt to overwrite an
|
||
|
|
existing property.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Taskwriters please note: Whenever tasks had any overloaded set* methods,
|
||
|
|
Ant's introspection mechanism would select the last overloaded method
|
||
|
|
provided to it by the Java Runtime. A modification has now been made such
|
||
|
|
that when the Java Runtime provides a method with a String as its argument,
|
||
|
|
a check is made to see if there is another overloaded method that takes in
|
||
|
|
some other type of argument. If there is one such method, then the method
|
||
|
|
that takes in String as an argument is not selected by the Introspector.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The pattern definition **/._* has been included into the Default
|
||
|
|
Excludes list.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <propertyfile>'s <entry> element was modified to remove "never" as a value
|
||
|
|
as its behavior was undocumented and flakey.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The -projecthelp flag now only prints out targets that include the
|
||
|
|
'description' attribute, unless the -verbose or -debug flag is included
|
||
|
|
on the Ant command line.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Ant's testcases now require JUnit 3.7 or above, as they now use the new
|
||
|
|
assertTrue method instead of assert.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* If the 'output' attribute of <ant> is set to a simple filename or a
|
||
|
|
relative path, the file is created relative to ${basedir}, not ${user.dir}.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The default value for build.compiler is now javac1.x with x
|
||
|
|
depending on the JDK that is running Ant instead of classic/modern.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Fixed bugs:
|
||
|
|
-----------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <available> could fail to find files or directories that happen to
|
||
|
|
start with the name of the project's basedir but are not children of
|
||
|
|
the basedir.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Nested <property>'s inside <ant> can now be overriden by subsequent
|
||
|
|
<ant> and <antcall> tasks.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <xslt>'s outputtype attribute wouldn't do anything.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <linecontains> filterreader could swallow lines.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <sequential> used to configure the tasks (set their attributes)
|
||
|
|
before the first task has been executed. This means that properties
|
||
|
|
that have been set by nested task seemed to be unset for the other
|
||
|
|
tasks in the same <sequential> element.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <javac>'s sourcepath setting has been ignored by some compiler
|
||
|
|
implementations.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <javadoc>'s packagelist attribute didn't work.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* the plain mailer would always use port 25 in <mail>.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Ant's default logger could swallow empty lines.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* ejbjar's iPlanet nested element now can process multiple descriptors.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* IPlanetEjbc was looking in the wrong place for four iiop files.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <javac> would pass the -source switch to JDK 1.3's javac, even
|
||
|
|
though it doesn't support it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <zip> and friends would always update existing archive if you set
|
||
|
|
the update attribute to true.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* To support backward compatibility with older versions, <pathconvert>
|
||
|
|
will once again set the property, even if the result is the empty
|
||
|
|
string, unless the new 'setonempty' attribute is set to false|no|off
|
||
|
|
(default is "true").
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The manifest task would crash XmlLogger
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* A bug existed that prevented generated log files from being deleted as
|
||
|
|
part of the build process itself. This has now been fixed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Fixed bug where <move> ignored <filterset>s.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Ant works properly with the combination of Java1.4/WindowsXP.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Fixed bug where <java> used to sometimes invoke class constructors twice.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Fixed bug with 4NT shell support.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Fixed bug where ant would not perform ftp without remotedir being
|
||
|
|
specified even though this was not mandatory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Fixed bug where ant would not copy system properties into new Project
|
||
|
|
in ant/antcall tasks when inheritall="false" is set.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <propertyfile> would not close the original property file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <ant> will no longer override a subbuild's basedir with inheritall="true".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Fixed problem with the built-in <junit> formatters which assumed
|
||
|
|
that only one test could be running at the same time - this is not
|
||
|
|
necessarily true, see junit.extensions.ActiveTestSuite.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <jar>'s whenEmpty attribute is useless as JARs are never empty, they
|
||
|
|
contain at least a manifest file, therefore it will now print a
|
||
|
|
warning and do nothing.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <typedef> hasn't been all that useful as it couldn't be used outside
|
||
|
|
of targets (it can now) and nested "unknown" elements have always
|
||
|
|
been considered to be tasks (changed as well).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <fixcrlf> would fail for files that contained lines longer than 8kB.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Some junit formatters incorrectly assumed that all testcases would
|
||
|
|
inherit from junit.framework.TestCase.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <fixcrlf> dropped the first characters from Mac files.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Other changes:
|
||
|
|
--------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <checksum> now uses a buffer (of configurable size).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The "Trying to override task definition" warning has been degraded
|
||
|
|
to verbose level if the two task definitions only differ in the class
|
||
|
|
loader instance that has loaded the definition.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Add a jvmargs to the ejbjar's weblogic element to allow additional
|
||
|
|
arguments to be provided to the VM runnign ejbc. Document the
|
||
|
|
jvmdebuglevel attribute which can be used to avoid warnings about
|
||
|
|
interface classess being found on the classpath. Document the new
|
||
|
|
<sysproperty> element which allows JVM properties to be defined.
|
||
|
|
Added an outputdir attribute to allow the destination to be a
|
||
|
|
directory into which the exploded jar is written.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* ejbjar now supports Borland Enterprise Server 5 and Jonas 2.5
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* added **/.svn and **/.svn/** to the default excludes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Selector Elements now provide a way to create filesets based on
|
||
|
|
sophisticated selection criteria.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Gzip and Bzip2 files can now be constructed in the fly when using
|
||
|
|
the tar task without having to create the intermediate tar file on
|
||
|
|
disk. The Untar task can also untar GZip and BZip2 files on the fly
|
||
|
|
without creating the intermediate tar file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* New optional type, <classfileset> added.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <ejbjar> now allows control over which additional classes and interfaces
|
||
|
|
are added to the generated EJB jars. A new attribute "dependency" can be
|
||
|
|
defined which controls what classes are added. The addition of classes now
|
||
|
|
uses the Jakarta-BCEL library rather than reflection, meaning bean classes are
|
||
|
|
no longer loaded into Ant's JVM. The default dependency analyzer is known as
|
||
|
|
the ancestor analyzer. It provides the same behaviour as the 1.4.1 version of
|
||
|
|
<ejbjar>. If the BCEL library is not present, a warning will be issued stating
|
||
|
|
the ancestor analyzer is not available. In this case <ejbjar> will continue
|
||
|
|
to function but will not add super classes to the jar.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <available> has a new attribute named ignoreSystemClasses.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* New task <cvschangelog/> generates an XML report of changes that occur
|
||
|
|
on CVS repository.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* New filter readers: ClassConstants, ExpandProperties, HeadFilter,
|
||
|
|
LineContains, LineContainsRegExp, PrefixLines, ReplaceTokens,
|
||
|
|
StripJavaComments, StripLineBreaks, StripLineComments, TabsToSpaces,
|
||
|
|
TailFilter.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <copy>, <loadfile>, <loadproperties>, <move> support FilterChains
|
||
|
|
of FilterReaders.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* New task <loadproperties> to load contents of file as Ant properties,
|
||
|
|
with nested <filterchain> elements.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* New task <loadfile> to load a whole file into a property.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* New task <echoproperties> to list your current properties to the screen
|
||
|
|
or a file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* New tasks <bzip2> and <bunzip2> to pack and unpack files using the
|
||
|
|
BZip2 algorithm.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* New tasks <replaceregexp>, <checksum>, <translate>, <waitfor>,
|
||
|
|
<manifest>, <vsscp>, <vssadd>, <vsscreate>, <splash>, <basename>, <dirname>,
|
||
|
|
<concat>, <sourceoffsite>, <jarlib-available>, <jarlib-display>,
|
||
|
|
<jarlib-manifest>, <jarlib-resolve>.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* A new combined <mail> task, which replaces the old <mail> and
|
||
|
|
<mimemail> tasks, has been added. The <mimemail> task, and
|
||
|
|
old SendEmail and MimeMail classes have been deprecated.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Mail task allows specification of port number.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Users can control what <zip> and <jar> must do when duplicate files
|
||
|
|
are found. A new element <zipgroupfileset> allows for multiple zip
|
||
|
|
files to be merged into the archive. In addition, <jar> also has
|
||
|
|
another new attribute: filesetmanifest. The existing manifest
|
||
|
|
attribute of <jar> now also accepts the name of a jar added through
|
||
|
|
a fileset.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* gzip now checks that the zipfile is older than the source file
|
||
|
|
before rebuilding the zipfile.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* TarFileset takes in three new attributes - fullpath, prefix
|
||
|
|
and preserveLeadingSlashes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <move> attempts to rename the directory, if everything inside it is
|
||
|
|
included, before performing file-by-file moves. This attempt will
|
||
|
|
be done only if filtering is off and if mappers are not used. This
|
||
|
|
is a performance improvement and there is no change otherwise in
|
||
|
|
the functionality of this task.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Exec task has extra attribute "resultproperty" to get the return code
|
||
|
|
into a property.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Exec task prints a message when a timed-out process is killed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Added optional attributes - name, arch and version to the <os> task.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Unjar, Untar, Unwar and Unzip now support patternsets to
|
||
|
|
select files from an archive for extraction. Filesets may be
|
||
|
|
used to select archived files for unarchival.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Javac task allows debug levels to be specified. Debug levels
|
||
|
|
will have an effect only when the modern compiler or the
|
||
|
|
classic compiler (version 1.2 and higher) is used and debugging
|
||
|
|
is enabled.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Added support for specifying CVS_RSH in the <cvs/> task
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The attributes zipfile, jarfile, warfile and earfile (from the Zip,
|
||
|
|
Jar, War and Ear tasks) have been deprecated and superseded by a
|
||
|
|
new attribute "destfile".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Added new conditions <isset>, <checksum>, <http>, <socket>, <contains>,
|
||
|
|
<filesmatch>.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <taskdef> and <typedef> will now emit a warning if a task/type of
|
||
|
|
the given name already exists.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* A new revision of VAJ tasks: The most important new feature
|
||
|
|
is the ability to execute VAJ tasks from the command line by
|
||
|
|
exploiting the Remote Tool Access feature of VAJ.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Improved support for Novell NetWare.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Added an optional encoding attribute to <fixcrlf>.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <apply> has a new attribute relative that allows users to pass the
|
||
|
|
filenames as relative instead of absolute paths on the command line.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* References can now be copied into the child build by <ant> and
|
||
|
|
<antcall> using nested <reference> elements or the new inheritRefs
|
||
|
|
attribute.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <fail> now supports builds to fail based on conditions via if and
|
||
|
|
unless attributes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Ant now comes with two new BuildLogger implementations - one that
|
||
|
|
can send emails containing a log of the build process (MailLogger),
|
||
|
|
and one that colorizes the output based on message levels, using
|
||
|
|
ANSI color code escape sequences (AnsiColorLogger).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* A "package" mapper type has been added to allow package directory
|
||
|
|
names replaced with the dotted form.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* You can now specify environment variables in the <java> and <junit> tasks
|
||
|
|
if the fork attribute has been set to true.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* -propertyfile command-line option has been added to load an entire
|
||
|
|
property file just as -D properties are declared (as user properties).
|
||
|
|
-D properties take precedence over -propertyfile specified ones.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* You can now set an ANT_ARGS environment variable to hold arguments you
|
||
|
|
always want passed to the 'ant' command -- for example, if you always
|
||
|
|
want to use a different logger or the -find flag.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <tstamp> now supports a new "prefix" attribute to prefix properties set.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* You can now specify the -sourcepath for <javac> explicitly.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <javac> now supports a new "listfiles" attribute to list the source
|
||
|
|
files it's handing off to the compiler.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The compiler implementation for <javac> can now be chosen on a task by
|
||
|
|
task basis. The new "compiler" attribute of <javac> can be used to override
|
||
|
|
the value of the build.compiler property, if set.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <javac> has a new nested element, <compilerarg>, which allows you
|
||
|
|
to specify additional args for the specific compiler you're using.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <javac>'s "source" attribute is now enabled for jikes as well.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <propertyfile>'s <entry> now has a 'unit' attribute to specify the
|
||
|
|
increment/decrement unit on date operations.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <property> now supports a 'prefix' attribute when loading from a file
|
||
|
|
or resource.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* In Ant 1.4, a feature has been added to the <junit> task that would
|
||
|
|
add ant.jar, optional.jar and junit.jar implicitly to the classpath -
|
||
|
|
this feature can now be disabled by setting the new includeantruntime
|
||
|
|
attribute to false.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <style> behaves differently from any other directory-based task, as it
|
||
|
|
processes all files that it finds in included directories in
|
||
|
|
addition to the files matched by your patterns. There is now a new
|
||
|
|
attribute, 'scanincludeddirectories', to suppress this behavior.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <javadoc> now supports a <tag> nested element to provide the -tag option
|
||
|
|
to the standard Java 1.4 doclet. The element is ignored when not running
|
||
|
|
on Java 1.4.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <ftp> can now chmod files on a remote server that supports
|
||
|
|
"site chmod", as well as set the umask before transferring files, if
|
||
|
|
the server supports "site umask".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* New <serverdeploy> "optional" task.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <patternset> now supports nested patternsets.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Perforce tasks now support a "failonerror" attribute (defaults to "true").
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Open Source application server JOnAS support:
|
||
|
|
EJB hot deploy and deploy with <serverdeploy> and <ejbjar>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Added new DirSet (<dirset>) datatype.
|
||
|
|
|

|
* <path> now supports nested <dirset> and <filelist> elements.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <pathconvert> now supports nested <dirset> and <filelist> elements.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <pathconvert>'s "dirsep" and "pathsep" attributes now accept
|
||
|
|
multi-character values.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <copy> task now has a 'failonerror' attribute to allow keep-going
|
||
|
|
behaviour when the file to be copied is not found (defaults to "true").
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <uptodate> now has a 'srcfile' attribute to allow specifying a
|
||
|
|
full-path filename.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <exec>, <sql> and <java> now support append attributes to allow
|
||
|
|
appending the output to an existing file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <java> now supports a timeout attribute analog to <exec> - it is
|
||
|
|
highly recommended to only use it together with fork="true".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <javadoc> now supports a source attribute to enable javadoc to
|
||
|
|
handle assertions present in JDK 1.4 source code.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <replace> supports a new replacefilterfile attribute that
|
||
|
|
automatically turns all properties of a given file into
|
||
|
|
replacefilters.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* An alias of <xslt> has been added to refer to the <style> task.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The compiler implementation for <rmic> can now be chosen on a task by
|
||
|
|
task basis. The new "compiler" attribute of <rmic> can be used to override
|
||
|
|
the value of the build.rmic property, if set.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <rmic> has a new nested element, <compilerarg>, which allows you
|
||
|
|
to specify additional args for the specific compiler you're using.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* org.apache.tools.ant.XmlLogger now is a BuildLogger, rather than just
|
||
|
|
a BuildListener. It can operate in either mode successfully.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <junit> has a new attribute "showoutput". If set to true, output
|
||
|
|
generated by tests will be sent to Ant's logging system as well as
|
||
|
|
to the formatters (instead of sending it to the formatters
|
||
|
|
exclusively).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Ant has now a pluggable way to prompt users for input, which is used
|
||
|
|
by the new <input> task. IDE integrators can provide an
|
||
|
|
implementation of the InputHandler interface to decouple Ant's input
|
||
|
|
from the console. An implementation that gets its input from a file
|
||
|
|
for unattended builds is part of Ant's distribution.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For more details see docs/manual/inputhandler.html.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <patch> has a new attribute that selects the directory in which to
|
||
|
|
run the command.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <javadoc> now supports two new nested elements, <fileset> and <packageset>.

Changes from Ant 1.4 to Ant 1.4.1
|
||
|
|
===========================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Fixed bugs:
|
||
|
|
-----------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <ant>'s antfile attribute will now also be considered an absolute path on
|
||
|
|
Windows systems, if it starts with a \ and no drive specifier.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The fullpath attribute of <zipfileset> has been ignored if you used
|
||
|
|
the src attribute at the same time.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The manifest file is now always placed as the second entry (after /META-INF)
|
||
|
|
in generated jars. This allows the manifest to be read by JarInputStreams
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Fixed bug in depend task which would fail with a NullPointerException if no
|
||
|
|
dependency cache was specified.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* sql task now handles REM statements correctly so that lines starying with rem
|
||
|
|
but which are not comments are actually processed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* XMLLogger now uses the task's name rather than the classname
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <mapper>s will now work as expected if the to pattern expands to an
|
||
|
|
absolute pathname.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <javac> didn't ignore memory settings in non-fork mode
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <cab> didn't split the options attribute into several command line
|
||
|
|
arguments correctly.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Other changes:
|
||
|
|
--------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* New source attribute for <javac> to enable assertion in JDK 1.4
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* XmlLogger and <antstructure> now add an encoding declaration to the
|
||
|
|
XML files they generate.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <fileset> has a new attribute "casesensitive" to make it match
|
||
|
|
filenames in a case insensitive way (if you set it to false) - by
|
||
|
|
default filesets remain case sensitive.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Changes from Ant 1.3 to Ant 1.4
|
||
|
|
===========================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Changes that could break older environments:
|
||
|
|
--------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
* JUnitReport now uses the xalan redirect extension for multi-output.
|
||
|
|
With Xalan 1.2.2 it forces the use of bsf.jar in the classpath.
|
||
|
|
(Available in the xalan distribution). It is recommended to switch
|
||
|
|
to Xalan 2.x that do not need it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Zip.setWhenempty() has changed its signature.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <rmic> is now implemented using a factory. This makes extending
|
||
|
|
rmic to use a new compiler a lot easier but may break custom
|
||
|
|
versions of this task that rely on the old implementation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* several Zip methods have changed their signature as we now use a Zip
|
||
|
|
package of our own that handles Unix permissions for directories.
|
||
|
|
Furthermore <zip> will now use the platform's default character
|
||
|
|
encoding for filenames - this is consistent with the command line
|
||
|
|
ZIP tools, but causes problems if you try to open them from within
|
||
|
|
Java and your filenames contain non US-ASCII characters. Use the new
|
||
|
|
encoding attribute of the task and set it to UTF8 to get the old
|
||
|
|
behavior.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The <pvcs> task has been moved to a package of its own.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* JUnitResultFormater has two additional methods that must be
|
||
|
|
implemented by custom formatters.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Ant will no longer use the canonical version of a path internally -
|
||
|
|
this may yield different results on filesystems that support
|
||
|
|
symbolic links.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The output generated by the xml formatter for <junit> has changed
|
||
|
|
again, it doesn't format the numeric value in the time attribute anymore.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Pattern matching rules have changes slightly, the pattern foo*
|
||
|
|
doesn't match files contained in a directory named foo - use foo/*
|
||
|
|
instead.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <fixcrlf> will not remove trailing whitespace at the end of lines anymore.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The Classloader usage has been changed for the taskdef, property, available
|
||
|
|
and sql tasks so that it delegates to the parent classloader. This may cause
|
||
|
|
ClassNotFoundExceptions to be thrown if a system class attempts to load a
|
||
|
|
class in the taskdef's classpath (typically factory objects).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Ant now allows multithreading of tasks and the containment of tasks within
|
||
|
|
other tasks. This can break customer listeners which do not expect messages
|
||
|
|
from a task before the previous task has finished.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Ant now installs its own output stream into System.out to route output to the
|
||
|
|
task currently executing on the current thread. This also means that all
|
||
|
|
output is now routed as Ant message events. Customer listeners and loggers
|
||
|
|
should not call System.out at any time. This has always been true but such
|
||
|
|
usage now will cause problems due to possible recursion.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Invalid manifest files will now cause build failures in the <jar> task.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Ant Introspection now looks for methods with method names starting with
|
||
|
|
addConfigured. When called these methods are passed an argument after it has
|
||
|
|
been configured from the build file. Custom tasks supporting nested elements
|
||
|
|
starting with the name configured will no longer function.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The environment variable JAVACMD that can be used to specify the
|
||
|
|
java executable to Ant's wrapper scripts must not contain additional
|
||
|
|
command line parameters any longer - please use the environment
|
||
|
|
variable ANT_OPTS for such parameters now.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Ant's wrapper scripts now quote the CLASSPATH environment variable, thus
|
||
|
|
supporting classpaths which refer to directories containing spaces. This means
|
||
|
|
that the CLASSPATH environment variable cannot have quotes. Any quotes should
|
||
|
|
be removed. This will not affect the operation of the CLASSPATH environment
|
||
|
|
variable in other contexts.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* A delete task like
|
||
|
|
<delete includeEmptyFilesets="true">
|
||
|
|
<fileset dir="somedir" />
|
||
|
|
</delete>
|
||
|
|
will now remove "somedir" as well, unless there are still files left
|
||
|
|
in it (matched by the default excludes).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The copy task will now fail if the file to be copied is not found.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Ant properties defined in properties files now behave the same way as
|
||
|
|
properties defined in the build file. In particular the $ character needs
|
||
|
|
to be escaped in property values by doubling it to $$. So, to define a
|
||
|
|
property with the value $hello, you need to define it in a properties file
|
||
|
|
as
|
||
|
|
test.prop=$$hello
|
||
|
|
This was not the case in Ant 1.3
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Other changes:
|
||
|
|
--------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* New tasks: ear, p4counter, record, cvspass, vsscheckin, vsscheckout,

||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Ant now uses JAXP 1.1
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* rmic now supports Kaffe's and Weblogic's version of rmic.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* new magic property build.rmic to chose the rmic implementation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <tar> will now add empty directories as well
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* you can now specify a description for <p4change>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <touch> can now work on <fileset>s
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <uptodate> now supports a value attribute
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <fail> supports nested text
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <fixcrlf> won't override files that are already in the correct
|
||
|
|
format.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <sql> now supports REM comments as well as // and --
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <jar> now has a nested <metainf> element following the same idea as
|
||
|
|
<war>'s <webinf>.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <pvcs> can now handle multiple projects.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <available> now has a "type" attribute you can use in conjunction
|
||
|
|
with the "file" attribute to specify whether the "file" you're
|
||
|
|
looking for is a file or a directory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* New <junit> formatter named "brief"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <ejbjar> changes
|
||
|
|
* Add support for Borland Application Server to the <ejbjar> task using
|
||
|
|
a <borland> nested element.
|
||
|
|
* Add support for iPlanet Application Server to the <ejbjar> task. Also
|
||
|
|
includes some iPlanet utility tasks
|
||
|
|
* Add support for JBoss Application Server to the <ejbjar> task.
|
||
|
|
* Add a naming attribute to control the naming scheme that
|
||
|
|
ejbjar uses to name the generated EJB jars.
|
||
|
|
* Weblogic element now sets the compiler class for EJB 2.0 beans
|
||
|
|
* <dtd> elements can be specified at the <ejbjar> level for building generic
|
||
|
|
beans
|
||
|
|
* <dtd> elements can now be URLs
|
||
|
|
* Allow the manifest to be specified for the generated jars
|
||
|
|
* The weblogic element now supprts an attribte noEJBC to skip the processing
|
||
|
|
of the jar by ejbc. The ejbc step will then occur at deployment
|
||
|
|
* weblogic will tell ejbc to use Jikes compiler if build.compiler is set to
|
||
|
|
jikes. It can be restored to the default, javac, operation if desired.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Allow the <sql> Delimiter to be set in the so that Oracle stored procs may be
|
||
|
|
entered
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <execon> and <apply> can now optionally skip empty filesets.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <javadoc> has a new useexternalfile attribute that makes it use a
|
||
|
|
temporary file for sourcefile and package names - helps to defeat
|
||
|
|
command line length limitations.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Data types like <path> can now be defined inside of <target>s
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* you can now specify a classpath for <style> - the XSLZ processor
|
||
|
|
will be loaded from this path
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* added a force attribute to <style> to support dependencies that the
|
||
|
|
task cannot determine itself (dependency on parameters, not file
|
||
|
|
modification times for example)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* added vmlauncher attribute to exec tasks. This defaults to true. If
|
||
|
|
it is set to false, the VM's ability to launch commands in bypassed
|
||
|
|
and the OS shell, either directly or through the auxiliary antRun
|
||
|
|
scripts is used.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* regexp mapper now supports the java.util.regex package of JDK 1.4.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* New filesonly attribute for <zip> and friends to suppress directory
|
||
|
|
entries.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* New update attribute for <zip> and friends - update an existing
|
||
|
|
archive instead of creating a new one.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <apply> and <execon> have been merged into a single task.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* added vssver.scc to the default excludes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <available> has a new filepath attribute/nested element that allows
|
||
|
|
you top search for a file in a given path.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <junit> can now optionally set a property on test failure.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <taskdef> can now define several tasks at once, reading the
|
||
|
|
name/classname pairs from a property file or resource.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <unzip/unjar/unwar> and <untar> now have an overwrite attribute that
|
||
|
|
defaults to true. If set to false, files that are newer than the
|
||
|
|
files in the archive will not be replaced.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <patternset> and <fileset> now support nested <in/excludesfile>
|
||
|
|
elements - using these you can have more than one in/excludes file
|
||
|
|
per <patternset>.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Three new supported compilers for javac: kjc for kopi, gcj for the
|
||
|
|
gcc frontend and sj for Symantec's compiler.
|
||
|
|
In addition extJavac or the new fork attribute can be
|
||
|
|
used to run the JDK's javac in a JVM separate from Ant.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <fixrlf> can now with CR only line-ends and can use an arbitraty
|
||
|
|
between 2 and 80.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The .NET tasks have been adapted to the beta2 release of the framework.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <move> will now try to rename() files before copying them byte by
|
||
|
|
byte - only if filtering is of, of course.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <ant> and <antcall> tasks now support a new attribute inheritAll. When set to
|
||
|
|
false, only user properties are passed through to the target Ant instance.
|
||
|
|
This includes properties set on the command line and properties explicitly
|
||
|
|
passed
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <javadoc> now skips off line links if the package list cannot be found.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <wlrun> now allows the security policy file to exist outside the weblogic
|
||
|
|
directory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <java> task will set the Thread contextClassLoader under JDKs 1.2+ to the
|
||
|
|
classloader for the class being executed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Introduce the concept of a TaskContainer - a task or element which can contain
|
||
|
|
Ant Tasks.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Add new tasks implementing the TaskContainer interface <parallel> and
|
||
|
|
<sequential> which allow parallel execution of tasks to be specified.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <depend> task will now take into account dependencies on jar files and class
|
||
|
|
files from a given classpath.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <jar> manifest entries may now be specified in the build file either
|
||
|
|
completely or to be merged with a manifest file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <tstamp> task custom formats now support locales.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Added a listner which will forward events to Log4J. The log4j configuration
|
||
|
|
file should be in the directory from which Ant is run or passed as a system
|
||
|
|
property using a JVM argument.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Introduced the concept of <filtersets> to allow for more control in which
|
||
|
|
filters get applied in a <copy> or <move> operation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Added nowarn attribute to javac and deprecated the Jikes-magic property
|
||
|
|
build.compiler.warnings.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The <depend> task cache format has changed and all dependency information is
|
||
|
|
now stored in a single file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Fixed bugs:
|
||
|
|
-----------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Testcases have been made independent of current working directory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Input ZIP-Files will be closed when using a <zipfileset>.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* p4 tasks now don't fail if user, port or client have been omitted
|
||
|
|
(and this is acceptable for the context of the command).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <javah>'s outputfile attribute will be resolved as relative to the
|
||
|
|
projects basedir.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <antstructure> should create a valid DTD for propertyfile.operation.entry
|
||
|
|
and omit tasks it fails to load.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* won't try to pass a -bootclasspath flag to javac 1.1 anymore
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <style>'s style attribute no handles absolute paths correctly.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <delete includeemptydirs="true"> now deletes more than just the leaf
|
||
|
|
directories.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* You can now specify a <fileset> for a directory that doesn't exist at
|
||
|
|
declaration time but will created before the fileset gets used for the
|
||
|
|
first time.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* If the quiet attribute has been set, <delete> will handle <fileset>s
|
||
|
|
with non-existing directories gracefully.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Output written by testcases will now be captured by the <junit> task
|
||
|
|
and passed to the formatters.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Quote the -group parameter to Javadoc as per the specification
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Initialise classes when loaded through the AntClassLoader - that is, run
|
||
|
|
static initializers
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Implement getResource() and getResources() in AntClassLoader
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Create the <ejbjar> weblogic command line as a set of arguments rather than
|
||
|
|
as a single line. Avoids problems with paths which contain spaces.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <ejbjar> now fails when the weblogic ejbc compiler reports an error.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Make the AntClassLoader load resources in the same order as it currently
|
||
|
|
loads classes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Handle classpaths with spaces
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Make sure XSLT processors close their output files in <style>.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* perform proper uptodate check in <rmic> when compiling for IIOP.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <jjtree>'s uptodate test works even if outputdirectory is not the
|
||
|
|
parent dir of target
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <copy> will remove target file (if it exists) before writing to it -
|
||
|
|
this avoids problems with links on filesystems that support them.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <ftp> now properly recurses remote directories.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <ftp> closes remote connection when it's done.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <junit> tries to include all necessary classes for the task itself
|
||
|
|
to the classpath when running in fork mode - doesn't work for JDK 1.1
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <apply> and <execon> do now execute the command only once, if you
|
||
|
|
specify the parallel attribute - instead of once per fileset.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* directory based tasks and fileset could miss some included files in
|
||
|
|
directories that have been excluded
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <fixcrlf> failed for large files.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <move> removed files you tried to move to themselves.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <sql> task will not trty to print the result set unless the query succeeded.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Ant classloader will now ignore paths which are invalid relative to the
|
||
|
|
project base
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <ejbjar> weblogic elements check for jar file changes has been fixed.
|
||
|
|
Previously some changes would not be included.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* properties loaded from properties files are now resolved internally. This
|
||
|
|
removes the spurious warnings about usage of properties which have not been
|
||
|
|
set.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <jar> task and friends now process the JAR manifest to ensure it is valid.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The task finished event now includes any exception thrown by the task.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <java> task now supports a jvmVersion attribute so that if another JVM is
|
||
|
|
being used, Ant can determine which options to use for features such as the
|
||
|
|
VM memory limits
|
||
|

Changes from Ant 1.2 to Ant 1.3
|
||
|
|
===========================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Changes that could break older environments:
|
||
|
|
--------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Ant doesn't search for the buildfile anymore, unless you use the new
|
||
|
|
-find argument.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <perforce> has been replaced by a number of new tasks.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <javac> is now implemented using a factory. This makes extending
|
||
|
|
javac to use a new compiler a lot easier but may break custom
|
||
|
|
versions of this task that rely on the old implementation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The output generated by the xml formatter for <junit> has changed a
|
||
|
|
little, it doesn't append " sec" in the time attribute anymore.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Other changes:
|
||
|
|
--------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* A GUI Frontend: Antidote. This is currently in development. At this
|
||
|
|
time, this is not part of the Ant release, although the source is
|
||
|
|
included if you are interested.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* New tasks: stylebook, propertyfile, depend, antlr, telnet, csc,
|
||
|
|
ilasm, apply, javah, several clearcase tasks, junitreport, sound
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Added output attribute to <java>.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Added nested zipfileset element to <zip>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Changed <sql> so that printing is at the task level rather than
|
||
|
|
the statement level.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* javadoc task will pass -d flag to any doclet if the destDir attribute is
|
||
|
|
given. If the doclet does not accept the -d flag then omit the destdir
|
||
|
|
attribute.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <cab> can work on non-Windows platforms with the help of libcabinet.
|
||
|
|
See http://trill.cis.fordham.edu/~barbacha/cabinet_library/.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <ftp> now supports passive mode.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* New <mapper> data type that can be used to get influence on the
|
||
|
|
target files for some tasks like <copy> or enable new types of tasks
|
||
|
|
like <apply>.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <execon> provides more control over the command line now, the names
|
||
|
|
of the source files are no longer required to be at the end of the
|
||
|
|
command.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Style tasks will now support TraX compliant XSL processors if one is present
|
||
|
|
in your classpath.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Added a failonerror to the javac task. If set to false, the build will
|
||
|
|
continue even if there are compilation errors.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Added nested format elements to the tstamp task allowing additional time
|
||
|
|
formats to be defined for arbitrary properties.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Added classpath attribute and nested classpath element to <property>
|
||
|
|
to make the resource attribute more powerful.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* ${} property expansion will now be performed on the patterns read
|
||
|
|
from files specified as includesfile or excludesfile attributes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The <tar> and <untar> tasks now support GNU format for handling paths
|
||
|
|
which are greater than 100 characters in length. In addition the <tar>
|
||
|
|
task now supports nested filesets through which the file permissions
|
||
|
|
may be controlled.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* wlrun, wlstop and ejbjar now support Weblogic 6.0
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The MPasre task has been updated to work with MParse 2.0
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The documentation has been significantly updated.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Fixed bugs:
|
||
|
|
-----------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <signjar> no longer uses deprecated methods.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* javadoc's failonerror attribute works again
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* javadoc's additionalparam attribute will now be split into separate
|
||
|
|
parameters (on spaces) to allow for more than one parameter.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Changed <sql> task so that printing result sets works on Oracle
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Changes to ddcreator and ejbc helper to respect the descriptor hierarchy
|
||
|
|
keppgenerated in ejbc can now be turned off
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* ejbjar now correctly ignores <ejb-ref> elements in the deployment descriptor.
|
||
|
|
CMP files are included by parsing the weblogic deployment descriptor rather
|
||
|
|
than relying on the naming convention used in ant 1.2
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* ejbjar includes super classes and super interfaces into the generated ejb
|
||
|
|
jar files. The <support> nested element allows support classes to be
|
||
|
|
included in the EJB jar. The toplink element should now correctly locate
|
||
|
|
the toplink descriptor.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <vssget> now correctly deals with spaces in arguments
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <jar> fails early if a given manifest file doesn't exist
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <rmic> doesn't search for the _Skel file anymore when stubversion is
|
||
|
|
set to 1.2.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <rmic> uses the the same classpath to verify a class can be rmic'd
|
||
|
|
as it passes to the compiler.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* org.apache.tools.mail.MailMessage (and therefore <mail>) can now
|
||
|
|
handle SMTP servers sending multi line responses.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* nested <classpath> elements of <taskdef> now work for <taskdef>s not
|
||
|
|
nested into <target> as well.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <property> and <available> will search for the resource "foo" instead
|
||
|
|
of "/org/apache/tools/ant/taskdefs/foo" when given a relative resource
|
||
|
|
name foo.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Handle build files in directories whose name contained a "#" character
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <junit> can now log to files whose name contains a comma as well.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The AntClassLoader now refers to the loader which loaded it, any
|
||
|
|
requests it does not handle itself. Previously these went to the
|
||
|
|
primordial loader.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Changes from Ant 1.1 to Ant 1.2
|
||
|
|
===============================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Changes that could break older environments:
|
||
|
|
--------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Semantics of <property> has changed again in the hope to be more
|
||
|
|
intuitive. ${} expansion now happens at runtime and <property> tags
|
||
|
|
living inside of targets only take effect if they are visited at
|
||
|
|
runtime.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As a side effect of this change, task's attributes get set at runtime
|
||
|
|
not at parser time as well, which might change the results of
|
||
|
|
<script>s or other custom tasks that reference other tasks by their id
|
||
|
|
attribute.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* copying of support files in <javac> has been removed - as well as
|
||
|
|
the filtering attribute.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* the <expand> and <keysubst> tasks have been removed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* the ignore and items attributes of directory based tasks have been removed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* the command line switches _not_ starting with - have been removed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Path and EnumeratedAttribute have been moved from
|
||
|
|
org.apache.tools.ant to org.apache.tools.ant.types.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* the class attributes of <available>, <java>, <rmic> and <taskdef>
|
||
|
|
have been removed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* the src attribute of <chmod> has been removed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <patch> and <javadoc> have lost some of their attributes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <java> and <cvs> have lost some undocumented attributes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* the Unix antRun script would search for command.sh in the directory
|
||
|
|
it changed to and invoke this instead of command if present. This
|
||
|
|
behavior has been dropped.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <ejbjar> task syntax has been changed significantly
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <exec> is no longer implemented by org.apache.tool.ant.taskdefs.Exec.
|
||
|
|
Custom tasks that rely on Project.createTask("exec") to return an
|
||
|
|
instance of this class are going to fail.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* nested <include> and <exclude> elements expect the value of their
|
||
|
|
name attribute to be a single pattern, they don't accept multiple
|
||
|
|
patterns anymore. Split them into multiple elements of the same type.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <delete dir="somedir" /> will now delete the directory itself as
|
||
|
|
well as all included files. If you just want to clean out the
|
||
|
|
directory and keep the empty one, use a nested fileset.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Other changes:
|
||
|
|
--------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* New tasks: antstructure, cab, execon, fail, ftp, genkey, jlink,
|
||
|
|
junit, sql, javacc, jjtree, starteam, war, unwar, uptodate,
|
||
|
|
native2ascii, copy, move, mparse.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* copydir, copyfile, deltree and rename are now deprecated. They
|
||
|
|
should be replaced with the new copy, delete and move tasks.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <java> uses a ClassLoader of its own in no-fork mode if a classpath is
|
||
|
|
specified.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <style> will create the necessary target directories and reprocess
|
||
|
|
all files if the stylesheet changes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* New data types fileset and patternset - expected to get a broader use.
|
||
|
|
They, as well as PATH like structures, can now be defined on a global
|
||
|
|
level and later be referenced by their id attribute.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* You can specify environment variables to <exec>.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <get> can check whether a remote file is actually newer than a local
|
||
|
|
copy before it starts a download (HTTP only).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Added a -logger option to allow the class which performs logging to be
|
||
|
|
specified on the command line.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Added a -emacs option to tell the logger to leave out taskname adornments
|
||
|
|
on log output.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <chmod> works on all files in parallel and supports multiple filesets.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <replace> can now use tokens and/or values that cross line boundaries.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* build.compiler supports now jvc as well.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* project specific help can now be obtained with the -projecthelp option.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Added a -debug option to make -verbose less verbose (and more useful)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Ant will now search for a file named build.xml in the parent directory
|
||
|
|
and above (towards the root of the filesystem) if you didn't specify
|
||
|
|
-buildfile and there is no build.xml in the current directory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <echo> can now write to a file and accepts nested text.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Fixed bugs:
|
||
|
|
-----------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <chmod> didn't work when used as a directory based task.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Path, Available, Property didn't resolve relative filenames with
|
||
|
|
respect to the Project's basedir.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Project didn't interpret the basedir attribute correctly in all
|
||
|
|
cases.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Nested <src> in <javac> caused NullPointerException.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Corrupt Zip- and Jar-files ar now deleted if the task fails.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* many more fixes we've forgotten to document here ...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The packagelistloc attribute of <javadoc>'s <link> child will be
|
||
|
|
resolved as a file (i.e. it is either absolute or relative to
|
||
|
|
basedir).
|
