I have a set of classes that I have to build against some third party libraries (Siteminder if you must know). There are 3 versions that I must compile against (6, 12, and 12.5) and each has 32 and 64 bit versions. Is it possible to compile all 6 versions in 1 ant file? Would it be better (if you can) to maybe have 1 ant file for each and then a master ant that could call them all? Any suggestions around managing this would be greatly appreciated.

PS: I use Eclipse if that matters.

Thanks,
James

This is all Java, right? If so, the bitness doesn't matter - you can compile Java code using a 64-bit JDK and run the resulting code on either 32 or 64-bit systems, and vice-versa. So now you are down to 3 compiles instead of 6.

Do you compile the same code or different code against the different versions of the Siteminder libraries? If it is always the same code, you need to compile against only one version. That one version of compiled code will run with all three versions of the Siteminder libraries.

Now you are down to one compile. The only issue you have at this point is packaging - you you package your code with the Stieminder JARs? If so, you need three packages. If not, you need only one package.

Thanks. I was able to get to where I wanted using a few properties and then switching them out. I know technically there shouldn't be a reason to build against the bitness and the different Siteminder versions, but its really to satisfy the folks that I send them to; they want it so I have to build it that way. As for shipping the SM libs I'm not allowed to do that.

But hey, since I have your "ear" and you seem to be familiar with the SM libs...... I have an custom auth scheme that takes in a path that I write debug messages to. When I set it in SM the first variable passed in is the name of the class that implements the AuthScheme and the second is the path to the file that it should write to. There's some kind of wierd escaping that's going on such that on Windows it has be put in as "C:\/temp\/myfile.txt" but when running on Linux no matter what I try I can't get it to write to the file. No biggie though.

Thanks agian
