|

|
|---|
| 211 | <p>
|
|---|
| 212 | Please read our document about <a href="problems.html">problems</a>
|
|---|
| 213 | before deciding that there is an unreported
|
|---|
| 214 | bug in Ant.
|
|---|
| 215 | </p>
|
|---|
| 216 | <p>
|
|---|
| 217 | You have a few choices at this point. You can send
|
|---|
| 218 | an email to the <code>user</code> mailing list
|
|---|
| 219 | to see if
|
|---|
| 220 | others have encountered your issue and find out how they may
|
|---|
| 221 | have worked around it. If after some discussion, you feel it
|
|---|
| 222 | is time to create
|
|---|
| 223 | a bug report, this is a simple operation in the bug database.
|
|---|
| 224 | Please try to provide as much information as possible in order
|
|---|
| 225 | to assist the developers in resolving the bug. Please try to enter
|
|---|
| 226 | correct values for the various inputs when creating the bug, such
|
|---|
| 227 | as which version of Ant you are running, and on which platform,
|
|---|
| 228 | etc. Once the bug is created, you can also add attachments to
|
|---|
| 229 | the bug report.
|
|---|
| 230 | </p>
|
|---|
| 231 | <p>
|
|---|
| 232 | What information should you include in your bug report? The
|
|---|
| 233 | easiest bugs to fix are those that are most easily reproducible,
|
|---|
| 234 | so it is really helpful if you can produce a small test case that
|
|---|
| 235 | exhibits the problem. In this case, you would attach the build file
|
|---|
| 236 | and any other files necessary to reproduce the problem, probably
|
|---|
| 237 | packed together in an archive. If you can't produce a test case,
|
|---|
| 238 | you should try to include a snippet from your build file and the
|
|---|
| 239 | relevant sections from the verbose or debug output from Ant. Try
|
|---|
| 240 | to include the header information where Ant states the version,
|
|---|
| 241 | the OS and VM information, etc. As debug output is likely to be
|
|---|
| 242 | very large, it's best to remove any output that is not
|
|---|
| 243 | relevant. Once the bug is entered into the bug database, you
|
|---|
| 244 | will be kept informed by email about progress on the bug. If
|
|---|
| 245 | you receive email asking for further information, please try to
|
|---|
| 246 | respond, as it will aid in the resolution of your bug.
|
|---|
| 247 | </p>
|
|---|
| 248 | <p>
|
|---|
| 249 | To create the bug report hit this

| 255 | Asking for an Enhancement
|
|---|
| 256 | </h4>
|
|---|
| 257 | <p>
|
|---|
| 258 | Sometimes, you may find that Ant just doesn't do what you need it
|
|---|
| 259 | to. It isn't a bug, as such, since Ant is working the way it is
|
|---|
| 260 | supposed to work. Perhaps it is some additional functionality for
|
|---|
| 261 | a task that hasn't been thought of yet, or maybe a completely new
|
|---|
| 262 | task. For these situations, you will
|
|---|
| 263 | want to raise an <i>enhancement request</i>. Enhancement requests
|
|---|
| 264 | are managed using the same Apache Bug Database described above.
|
|---|
| 265 | These are just a different type of bug report. If you look in the
|
|---|
| 266 | bug database, you will see that one of the severity settings for
|
|---|
| 267 | a bug is "Enhancement". Just fill the bug report in,
|
|---|
| 268 | set the severity of the bug to "Enhancement", and
|
|---|
| 269 | state in the description how you would like to have Ant enhanced.
|
|---|
| 270 | Again, you should first check whether there are any existing
|
|---|
| 271 | enhancment requests that cover your needs. If so, just add your
|
|---|
| 272 | vote to these.

| 281 | Fixing the Bug
|
|---|
| 282 | </h4>
|
|---|
| 283 | <p>
|
|---|
| 284 | If you aren't satisfied with just filing a bug report, you can
|
|---|
| 285 | try to find the cause of the problem and provide a fix yourself.
|
|---|
| 286 | The best way to do that is by working with the latest code from Subversion.
|
|---|
| 287 | Alternatively, you can work with the source code available from the
|
|---|
| 288 | <a href="http://ant.apache.org/srcdownload.cgi">
|
|---|
| 289 | source distributions</a>. If you
|
|---|
| 290 | are going to tackle the problem at this level, you may want to
|
|---|
| 291 | discuss some details first on the <code>dev</code>
|
|---|
| 292 | mailing list. Once you have a fix for the problem, you may submit
|
|---|
| 293 | the fix as a <i>patch</i> to either the
|
|---|
| 294 | <code>dev</code> mailing
|
|---|
| 295 | list, or enter the bug database as described above and attach the
|
|---|
| 296 | patch to the bug report. Using the bug database has the advantage
|
|---|
| 297 | of being able to track the progress of your patch.
|
|---|
| 298 | </p>
|
|---|
| 299 | <p>
|
|---|
| 300 | If you have a patch to submit and are sending it to the
|
|---|
| 301 | <code>dev</code> mailing list,
|
|---|
| 302 | prefix "[PATCH]"
|
|---|
| 303 | to your message subject (this is also a good idea for
|
|---|
| 304 | a subject line in the bug database).
|
|---|
| 305 | Please include any relevant bug numbers.
|
|---|
| 306 | Patch files should be created with the <code>-u</code>
|
|---|
| 307 | option of the
|
|---|
| 308 | <code>diff</code> or <code>svn diff</code> command. For
|
|---|
| 309 | example:<br /><br />
