Execute failed: java.io.IOException - error 2

Hi,

I tried run an ant in my J2ME project, but i found this error:
BUILD FAILED: C:\des\crazy\java\build.xml:40: Execute failed: java.io.IOException: CreateProcess: preverify.exe -classpath C:\WTK21\lib\midpapi20.jar -d C:\des\crazy\java\bin\build\preverified C:\des\crazy\java\bin error=2

I am trying preverifies the code, but i don�t know what�s happen.

my target is:
<target name="preverify_SUN"
description="Previrifies">
<mkdir dir="${project.build.preverified}"/>
<exec dir="${SUN.bin.path}" (C:\WTK21\bin)
executable="preverify.exe">
<arg line="-classpath ${SUN.midp20.path}"/> (C:\WTK21\lib\midpapi20.jar)
<arg line="-d ${project.build.preverified}"/>
<arg line="${project.classes.dir}"/>
</exec>
</target>

I verified the CLASSPATH, PATH, JAVA_HOME and others things, but I don�t find the error.

I am using the Eclipse to run and to edit the Ant.

Someone can help me?

Hi

I have just had this same problem. You have to ensure the folder where this executable lives is included in your build path. You also need to explicitly define where the executable lives in your build file if it still doesn't work.

For instance my problem:
C:\workspace\WayneGrant\build.exe.xml:19: Execute failed:
java.io.IOException: CreateProcess: makensis.exe error=2

From this line:
<exec executable="makensis.exe"/>

Was fixed by:
<project name="NSIS" default="build" basedir="." >

<target name="build" >

<property name="nsis.dir" value="c:/program files/nsis" />

<exec executable="${nsis.dir}/makensis.exe"/>

</target>

</project>

Although as you reported this problem a while ago you probably don't need this solution any more! lol

Gem

I had the problem before, I remember I needed to reinstall wtk somehow to make it work properly...

Also, I used antenna from sourceforge

Hi Cameron

i too got the same error and fixed the erro by solution given by you.

<property name="nsis.dir" value="c:/program files/nsis" />
<exec executable="${nsis.dir}/makensis.exe"/>

if we need to give the full absolute path in the executable dir itself then what for the attribute dir exist for the task <exec>.

It will be more logical if we provide the dir as the path where exe file resides and executable will hold the exact file name..

i.e

<exec executable="makensis.exe" dir="c:/program files/nsis"/>

but the above script wont work? why???

Any one who knows please clarify me.

I have post to solve this problem in my blog.
