Using scp task in ant build file [message #325375] Fri, 15 February 2008 14:24 Go to next message

Hi all,

In my application i want to copy some file to remote machine. So i has
written ant build file like,

<project name="Copy files" default="all">
<target name="copy">
<scp file="/home/name/file.txt"
todir="${user.name}@${remote.address}:${remote.location}"
password="pwd"/>
</target>
<target name="all"
depends="copy"/>
</project>

When i am running this file using AntRunner, i am gettin the following
error


Could not create task or type of type: scp.

Ant could not find the task or a class this task relies upon.

This is common and has a number of causes; the usual
solutions are to read the manual pages then download and
install needed JAR files, or fix the build file:
- You have misspelt 'scp'.
Fix: check your spelling.
- The task needs an external JAR file to execute
and this is not found at the right place in the classpath.
Fix: check the documentation for dependencies.
Fix: declare the task.
- The task is an Ant optional task and the JAR file and/or libraries
implementing the functionality were not found at the time you
yourself built your installation of Ant from the Ant sources.
Fix: Look in the ANT_HOME/lib for the 'ant-' JAR corresponding to the
task and make sure it contains more than merely a
META-INF/MANIFEST.MF.
If all it contains is the manifest, then rebuild Ant with the needed
libraries present in ${ant.home}/lib/optional/ , or alternatively,
download a pre-built release version from apache.org
- The build file was written for a later version of Ant
Fix: upgrade to at least the latest release version of Ant
- The task is not an Ant core or optional task
and needs to be declared using <taskdef>.
- You are attempting to use a task defined using
<presetdef> or <macrodef> but have spelt wrong or not
defined it at the point of use

Remember that for JAR files to be visible to Ant tasks implemented
in ANT_HOME/lib, the files must be in the same directory or on the
classpath

Please neither file bug reports on this problem, nor email the
Ant mailing lists, until all of these causes have been explored,
as this is not an Ant bug.

I don't know what i am missing here

Thanks,

scp is an Ant optional task...which basically means that it has library
dependancies external to the Ant offering.

See
http://ant.apache.org/manual/OptionalTasks/scp.html
and
http://ant.apache.org/manual/install.html#librarydependencie s

To succeed you will need to provide the required library (jsch.jar 0.1.29 or
later) on the Eclipse Ant runtime classpath.

Hi darins,

Thanks for your reply.

Actually i am running the ant build file through AntRunner class.
So how can i set the path for jsch.jar in my plugins?. So my plugins will
work anywhere.

Thanks,
Ponraj

You would need to bundle the JAR in your plugin.

Please note I have no idea on what the licensing, bundling requirement is of
the jsch.jar
