Has anyone gotten Ant to work under Eclipse? [message #74927] Fri, 11 July 2003 16:30 Go to next message

Vanilla configuration: Windows 2000, Eclipse 2.1.1, Sun JDK 1.4.2, Ant
1.5.3-1, and a very basic ant build file that works fine from the command
line.

Ant Home is set: C:\Java\apache-ant-1.5.3-1

Ant Runtime classpath is configured as:
C:\Java\j2sdk1.4.2\lib\dt.jar
C:\Java\j2sdk1.4.2\lib\htmlconverter.jar
C:\Java\j2sdk1.4.2\lib\tools.jar
C:\Java\apache-ant-1.5.3-1\lib\ant.jar
C:\Java\apache-ant-1.5.3-1\lib\optional.jar
C:\Java\apache-ant-1.5.3-1\lib\xml-apis.jar

I removed xercesImpl.jar since I've read many posts and articles that said
this causes problems.

When I attempt to build I get:

BUILD FAILED: java.lang.VerifyError:
(class:org/apache/xerces/parsers/IntegratedParserConfigurati on, method:
configurePipeline signature: ()V) Incompatible type for getting or setting
field
Total time: 203 milliseconds


I apologize for this repost but I have spent considerable time reading
newsgroups, websites, and articles and can't find out what is wrong.

Any assistance is appreciated. Thanks!

No :-)
Just kidding, :-)
I believe there are thousands of people who have had success and I think I
have replied to this with a path to success... but who knows with how the
newsgroup has been working of late.

Remove C:\Java\apache-ant-1.5.3-1\lib\xml-apis.jar as well
As well, because of manifest entries in the ant.jar and the optional.jar you
will need to physically move the xerces jars to a different directory than
the ant and optional.jars.

BTW, why are you not just using the default configuration? Ant comes with
Ant 1.5.3 as a plugin (org.apache.ant) and if you use the default you would
not have all of these problems. We do try to make life easy :-)

I tried with the default configuration and got some other error. I have
ended up with my current configuration based on reading many posts and
articles. Believe me, if the default configuration worked, I would be very
happy to stick with that.

Is there any way to revert back to the default? Is there a preferences file
to delete or maybe a complete reinstall of Ant?

Thanks for the reply!

Did you move the Xerces JARs from the physical location?

What other error did you get with the default configuration?

To restore the default settings, hit restore defaults on the relevant
preferences pages.

com.sun.tools.javac.Main is not on the classpath.
Perhaps JAVA_HOME does not point to the JDK
Total time: 578 milliseconds

Manually setting JAVA_HOME from the command prompt before running Eclipse
doesn't change anything.

Thanks for your help!

The other most frequently asked Ant questions :-)

The JAVA_HOME error message is from Apache Ant which does not "know" that it
has been integrated within Eclipse.

You need to have a jdk tools.jar on the Ant runtime classpath using the
Ant preference pages.

This is done for you automatically if you start Eclipse using a JVM from a
JDK install (as opposed to a JRE install). This is accomplished using
the -vm arg.

Alternately, you can set the build.compiler property to
"org.eclipse.jdt.core.JDTCompilerAdapter" if you wish to use Eclipse's
internal compiler for your build

Don't sound sooo surprised :-)

I logged https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=40165 so we can get
away from this problem.

Glad it worked out,
