fetch.xml in ant 1.6.5

[Andrew Stallard]

Is it possible to use fetch.xml with ant 1.6.5? Building this file is supposed to install all of the optional libraries in ant 1.7.0. Can it work in ant 1.6.5 at all? Can it be tweaked so it will work?

In addition, I may not even have put it in the correct directory. I use Linux (Red Hat) and I attempted to put it in /usr/share/ant. Is that the right place or should I attempt to place it somewhere else?

At any rate, I got this error when I tried to build it:

ant -f fetch.xml

BUILD FAILED
/usr/share/ant/fetch.xml:2: The processing instruction target matching "[xX][mM][lL]" is not allowed.


Thank you for Responding

OOPS! I posted this to the wrong forum--sorry!

Edit your xml file using a text editor. At the very beginning of the first line, look for and delete any leading spaces.

The following first line of the xml must not have any spaces or characters before the first "><" in the line.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Try the import again.

I hope it's useful to you.

No, that's not the problem.

Thanks anyway!

paste your fetch.xml content

Here it is. Except for the first line, it is the same code as in the link I provided.

  
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<description>
  This build file downloads JAR files that optional Ant tasks use,
  and installs them in a location that is accessible the next time Ant runs.

  You can choose three locations, by going -Ddest=LOCATION on the command line
  -Ddest=user     user lib dir  ${user.home}/.ant/lib
  -Ddest=system   ant lib dir   ${ant.home}/lib --Default--
  -Ddest=optional optional dir  ${ant.home}/lib/optional  (for Ant developers)

  You may also need to set proxy settings. On Java1.5, Ant tries to get
  this from the OS, unless you use the -noproxy option.

  Proxies can be configured manually setting the JVM proxy values in the
  ANT_OPTS environment variable.

  For example, to set the proxy up in the tcsh shell, the command would be
  something like:

  For csh/tcsh:
    setenv ANT_OPTS "-Dhttp.proxyHost=proxy -Dhttp.proxyPort=8080"
  For bash:
    export ANT_OPTS="-Dhttp.proxyHost=proxy -Dhttp.proxyPort=8080"
  For Windows, set the environment variable in the appropriate dialog box
  and open a new console. or, by hand
    set ANT_OPTS = -Dhttp.proxyHost=proxy -Dhttp.proxyPort=8080
