RE: [platform-ant-dev] Apache Ant as feature
|
This
is great news (and makes sense). Then, perhaps, there are some subtle issues in
the Ant preferences pane. Allow me to describe.
I have
deployed a new version of org.apache.ant (1.5.1). When I bring up the Ant
preferences pane, the Classpath URLs point to the ant.jar and optional.jar in
org.apache.ant_1.4.1. However, when I click the 'Restore Defaults'
button, the URLs are updated to org.apache.ant_1.5.1!
So, it
seems the .metadata/plugins cache of prefs for Ant core are older than the
defaults, but synchronizing the change is not happening - or am I missing
something?
Thanks
for your explanations.

I will answer the questions I can...the rest I would ask
on eclipse.tools for help from the update committers. - Why does org.eclipse.ant.core keep absolute location paths
to Ant? Couldn't this be a variable so the org.eclipse.ant.core will just
utilize the currently running version of the org.apache.ant plugin?
The absolute references are what is exposed to
the user. Underneath, that Ant core preferences will look for the
org.apache.ant plugin, query that plugin for its runtime libraries (ant.jar,
optional.jar) and then adds those URLs to the classpath.
So if you replace the plugin, it should just
work "automagically". You should not have to update the preferences at
all. HTH Darins
