Problem with Ant Build

[Ashok Kumar Babu]

Hi all,

I am having a souce folder src.
Inside src I am having a package event
Inside event I am having a java file Event.java

package event;
public class Event{}

When I compile my java files using ant. Class files are created and in the class files the package declaration seems to be

package src.event;
public class Event{}

My question- Is it a problem with the build file? I have also added the build.xml below for you reference.


<project name="hibernate-tutorial" default="compile">

<property name="basedir" value="."/>
<property name="sourcedir" value="${basedir}/src"/>
<property name="targetdir" value="${basedir}/bin"/>
<property name="librarydir" value="${basedir}/lib"/>

<path id="libraries">
<fileset dir="${librarydir}">
<include name="*.jar"/>
</fileset>
</path>

<target name="compile">
<javac srcdir="${sourcedir}"
destdir="${targetdir}"
classpathref="libraries"/>
</target>
</project>


Thanks All
Ashok

First, I must say that it is not necessary that you create the basedir variable.

Ant already contains a set of built-in properties and basedir is one of them. See about it here.

Now, that you want to do, I typically do it this way, and it works.

Look how I declare the basedir property in the project tag. You are missing that, and that could be causing you trouble.

Another important issue is that the build.xml file should be in the same directory where the src, bin and lib directories are.

In other words

project
|
x------src
|
x------bin
|
x------lib
|
x------build.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
 
<project basedir="." default="compile">
 
<description>SCJD Assignment Project: URLyBird</description>
 
<!--Build Properties-->
<property name="src" location="src" />
<property name="build" location="bin" />
<property name="lib" location="lib" />

<!--Compiles URLyBird Project-->
<target name="compile" description="Compiles the source code">
<javac srcdir="${src}" destdir="${build}" target="1.5" verbose="yes" debug="true">
<include name="**/*.java" />
<classpath>
<fileset dir="${lib}">
<include name="**/*.jar"/>
</fileset>
</classpath>
</javac>
</target>
 
</project>

I hope this helps!

Hi am giving the link for a build file which is working fine.

Make a look over it.

Open the doc and see the build.xml written on the button of this file.

You're really distributing a build.xml file as a DOC? You didn't want to provide it as a txt or even an XML file? I'm not trying to be rude, but DOC files are of limitted use and may contain viruses.
