|
---|
56 | ===================================
|
---|
57 |
|
---|
58 | Changes that could break older environments:
|
---|
59 | --------------------------------------------
|
---|
60 |
|
---|
61 | * The subant task used the canonical version of a file path. This
|
---|
62 | has been changed to use the absolute path. Bugzilla 30438.
|
---|
63 |
|
---|
64 | * Tar now writes two EOF blocks rather than one.
|
---|
65 | Bugzilla report 28776
|
---|
66 |
|
---|
67 | * The Reference object now has a project field which it uses in preference
|
---|
68 | to the project passed in. This allows composite references to be
|
---|
69 | handled to nested projects.
|
---|
70 | Bugzilla report 25777
|
---|
71 |
|
---|
72 | * <junit> with filtertrace="true" will now also swallow lines for the
|
---|
73 | sun.reflect package. If you need to see them in your stack trace,
|
---|
74 | you must set filtertrace to false.
|
---|
75 | Bugzilla Report 22758
|
---|
76 |
|
---|
77 | * The jikes compiler adapter now supports -bootclasspath, -extdirs and
|
---|
78 | -sourcepath and also uses the same logic for debug flags as javac.
|
---|
79 | This means, the jikes compiler adapter now requires Jikes 1.15 or later.
|
---|
80 | Bugzilla Reports 25868, 26404 and 32609.
|
---|
81 |
|
---|
82 | * Targets with identical name work in imported project. Bugzilla Report 34566.
|
---|
83 |
|
---|
84 | * The gcj compiler adapter used to include the Java runtime classes
|
---|
85 | even if includeJavaRuntime was set to false, unless the
|
---|
86 | bootclasspath has been specified as well. It will now always adhere
|
---|
87 | to includeJavaRuntime, you may need to set it to true explicitly now
|
---|
88 | if you relied on the old behavior.
|
---|
89 |
|
---|
90 | Other changes:
|
---|
91 | --------------
|
---|

110 | * New attribute alwayslog for <redirector> type.
|
---|
111 |
|
---|
112 | * Added <target> nested elements to <ant> and <antcall> to allow

113 | specification of multiple sub-build targets, which are executed
|
---|
114 | with a single dependency analysis.
|
---|
115 |
|
---|
116 | * Refactored Target invocation into org.apache.tools.ant.Executor
|
---|
117 | implementations. Bugzilla Reports 21421, 29248.

|
---|
126 | Bugzilla report 32487
|
---|
127 |
|
---|
128 | * added a new mapper <filtermapper>
|
---|
129 |
|
---|
130 | * When a BuildListener tried to access System.err or System.out, Ant
|
---|
131 | would have thrown an exception - this has been changed. Ant now
|
---|
132 | silently ignores the message. BuildListeners still should avoid
|
---|
133 | accessing either stream.
|
---|
134 |
|
---|
135 | * Added a comment attribute to the zip task.
|
---|

|
---|
142 | checking of target files.
|
---|
143 |
|
---|
144 | * Made the dest attribute of the apply task optional; mapped target
|
---|
145 | filenames will be interpreted as absolute pathnames when dest is omitted.
|
---|
146 |
|
---|
147 | * Changed default tempdir for <javac> from user.dir to java.io.tmpdir.
|
---|
148 |
|
---|
149 | * Added searchpath attribute to <exec> for searching path variable(s)
|
---|
150 | when resolveexecutable = true.
|
---|

|
---|
152 | * Added revision and userid attributes to <pvcs> documentation.

|
---|
157 | * Added support to the touch task for a pattern attribute to allow
|
---|
158 | alternate datetime formats.

|

174 | setting its recurse attribute to false.
|
---|
175 |
|
---|
176 | * Pathconvert no longer requires that one of (targetos|pathsep|dirsep)
|
---|
177 | be set; platform defaults are used when this is the case.
|
---|
178 |
|
---|
179 | * Added preservelastmodified attribute to fixcrlf task. Bugzilla 25770.
|
---|
180 |
|
---|
181 | * Added isfileselected condition.
|
---|
182 |
|
---|
183 | * Added verbose="true|false" attribute to <subant>. When verbose is enabled,

|
---|
185 |
|
---|
186 | * Added -nouserlib option to allow running ant without automatically loading
|
---|
187 | up ${user.home}/.lib/ant. This is useful when compiling ant, and antlibs.

|
---|
189 |
|
---|
190 | * Added -noclasspath option to allow running ant WITHOUT using CLASSPATH env

|

192 |
|
---|
193 | * Add else attribute to the condition task, which specifies an
|
---|
194 | optional alternate value to set the property to if the nested

373 | Changes from Ant 1.6.1 to Ant 1.6.2
|
---|
374 | ===================================
|
---|
375 |
|
---|
376 | Changes that could break older environments:
|
---|
377 | --------------------------------------------
|
---|
378 |
|
---|
379 | * The import task used the canonical version of a file path. This
|
---|
380 | has been changed to use the absolute path. Bugzilla 28505.
|
---|
381 |
|
---|
382 | * ant-xalan2.jar has been removed since the only class contained in it
|
---|
383 | didn't depend on Xalan-J 2 at all. Its sole dependency has always
|
---|
384 | been TraX and so it has been merged into ant-trax.jar.
|
---|
385 |
|
---|
386 | * All exceptions thrown by tasks are now wrapped in a buildexception
|
---|
387 | giving the location in the buildfile of the task.
|
---|
388 |
|
---|
389 | * Nested elements for namespaced tasks and types may belong to the
|
---|
390 | Ant default namespace as well as the task's or type's namespace.
|
---|
391 |
|
---|
392 | * <junitreport> will very likely no longer work with Xalan-J 1.
|
---|
393 |
|
---|
394 | Note that Xalan-J 1 has been deprecated for a very long time and we
|
---|
395 | highly recommend that you upgrade.
|
---|
396 |
|
---|
397 | If you really need to continue using Xalan-J 1, please copy the
|
---|
398 | junit-frames-xalan1.xsl from the distribution's etc directory as
|
---|
399 | junit-frames.xsl into a new directory and use the task's styledir
|
---|
400 | attribute to point to. This is the last version of the XSLT
|
---|
401 | stylesheet that is expected to be compatible with Xalan-J 1.
|
---|
402 |
|
---|
403 | * <csc>'s extraoptions can now contain multiple arguments.
|
---|
404 | Bugzilla Report 23599.
|
---|
405 |
|
---|
406 | * <macrodef> with default values set by properties would be
|
---|
407 | seen as new definitions when called twice with different properties.
|
---|
408 | This was confusing so the definitions are now treated as similar.
|
---|
409 | Bugzilla Report 31215.
|
---|
410 |
|
---|
411 | * <javadoc> has a new attribute "includenosourcepackages" that can be
|
---|
412 | used to document packages that don't hold source files but a
|
---|
413 | package.html file. Bugzilla Report 25339.
|
---|
414 |
|
---|
415 | Fixed bugs:
|
---|

|
---|
421 |
|
---|
422 | * macrodef @@ escaping was broken. Bugzilla Report 27069.
|
---|
423 |
|

---|
428 | * Throw build exception if name attribute missing from patternset#NameEntry.
|
---|
429 | Bugzilla Report 25982.
|
---|
430 |
|
---|
431 | * Throw build exception if target repeated in build file, but allow targets
|
---|
432 | to be repeated in imported files.
|
---|
433 |
|
---|
434 | * <apply> didn't compare timestamps of source and targetfiles when
|
---|
435 | using a nested <filelist>. Bugzilla Report 26985.
|
---|
436 |
|
---|
437 | * tagdiff.xml was broken in ant 1.6.1. Bugzilla Report 27057.
|
---|
438 |
|
---|
439 | * if the basedir contained .. or . dirs, and the build file name contained
|
---|
440 | .. or ., the basedir was set incorrectly. Bugzilla Report 26765.
|
---|
441 |
|
---|
442 | * regression from ant 1.5, exec task outputted two redundant trailing newlines.
|
---|
443 | Bugzilla Report 27546.
|
---|
444 |
|
---|
445 | * NPE when running commons listener. Bugzilla Report 27373.
|
---|
446 |
|
---|
447 | * <java> swallowed the stack trace of exceptions thrown by the
|
---|
448 | executed program if run in the same VM.
|
---|
449 |
|
---|
450 | * -projecthelp swallowed (configuration) errors silently.
|
---|
451 | Bugzilla report 27732.
|
---|
452 |
|
---|
453 | * filterset used by filtertask doesn't respect loglevel. Bugzilla Report 27568.
|
---|
454 |
|
---|
455 | * wrong compare used in ProjectComponent for logging. Bugzilla Report 28070.
|
---|
456 |
|
---|
457 | * failOnAny attribute for <parallel> was broken. Bugzilla Report 28122.
|
---|
458 |
|
---|
459 | * If <javac> uses gcj and any of the nested <compilerarg>s implies
|
---|
460 | compilation to native code (like -o or --main), Ant will not pass
|
---|
461 | the -C switch to gcj. This means you can now compile to native code
|
---|
462 | with gcj which has been impossible in Ant < 1.6.2.
|
---|
463 |
|
---|
464 | * <import optional="false"> and <import optional="true">
|
---|
465 | behaved identically.
|
---|
466 |
|
---|
467 | * <xslt> now sets the context classloader if you've specified a nested
|
---|
468 | <classpath>. Bugzilla Report 24802.
|
---|
469 |
|
---|
470 | * <zip> and friends would delete the original file when trying to update
|
---|
471 | a read-only archive. Bugzilla Report 28419.
|
---|
472 |
|
---|
473 | * <junit> and <assertions> are working together. Bugzilla report 27218
|
---|
474 |
|
---|
475 | * AntClassLoader#getResource could return invalid URLs. Bugzilla
|
---|
476 | Report 28060.
|
---|
477 |
|
---|
478 | * Ant failed to locate tools.jar if the jre directory name wasn't all
|
---|
479 | lowercase. Bugzilla Report 25798.
|
---|
480 |
|
---|
481 | * Redirector exhibited inconsistent behavior with regard to split
|
---|
482 | output. When sent to file only, files would be created in all
|
---|
483 | cases; when split file-property, files were only created if
|
---|
484 | writes were performed.
|
---|
485 |
|
---|
486 | * fixed case handling of scriptdef attributes and elements.
|
---|
487 |
|
---|
488 | * UNC pathnames did not work for ANT_HOME or -lib locations on Windows.
|
---|
489 | Bugzilla report 27922.
|
---|
490 |
|
---|
491 | * replacestring tokenfilter only replaced the first occurrence.
|
---|
492 |
|
---|
493 | * AntLikeTasksAtTopLevelTest failed on cygwin.
|
---|
494 |
|
---|
495 | * I/O-intensive processes hung when executed via <exec spawn="true">.
|
---|
496 | Bugzilla reports 23893/26852.
|
---|
497 |
|
---|
498 | * JDependTask did not close an output file. Bugzilla Report 28557.
|
---|
499 |
|
---|
500 | * Using <macrodef> could break XmlLogger. Bugzilla Report 28993.
|
---|
501 |
|
---|
502 | * <genkey> no longer requires keytool to be in your PATH. Bugzilla
|
---|
503 | Report 29382.
|
---|
504 |
|
---|
505 | * <symlink> could create cyclic links. Bugzilla Report 25181.
|
---|
506 |
|
---|
507 | * <zip whenempty="skip"> didn't work in a common situation. Bugzilla
|
---|
508 | Report 22865.
|
---|
509 |
|
---|

545 |
|
---|
546 | * The OS/2 wrapper scripts have been adapted to use the new launcher.

---|
563 |
|
---|
564 | * <junit> has a new forkmode attribute that controls the number of
|
---|
565 | Java VMs that get created when forking tests. This allows you to
|
---|
566 | run all tests in a single forked JVM reducing the overhead of VM
|
---|
567 | creation a lot. Bugzilla Report 24697.
|
---|
568 |
|
---|
569 | * <jar> can now optionally create an index for jars different than the
|
---|
570 | one it currently builds as well. See the new <indexjars> element
|
---|
571 | for details. Bugzilla Report 14255.
|
---|
572 |
|

580 |
|
---|
581 | * Ignore built distributions. Bugzilla Report 28997.
|
---|
582 |
|
---|
583 | * A new roundup attribute on <zip> and related task can be used to
|
---|
584 | control whether the file modification times inside the archive will
|
---|
585 | be rounded up or down (since zips only store modification times with
|
---|
586 | a granularity of two seconds). The default remains to round up.
|
---|
587 | Bugzilla Report 17934.
|
---|
588 |
|
---|
589 | * A binary option has been added to <concat>. Bugzilla Report 26312.
|
---|
590 |
|
---|
591 | * Added DynamicConfiguratorNS, an namespace aware version of
|
---|
592 | DynamicConfigurator. Bugzilla Report 28436.
|
---|
593 |

600 | * <fail> has a status attribute that can be used to pass an exit
|
---|
601 | status back to the command line.
|
---|
602 |
|
---|
603 | * <fail> accepts a nested <condition>.
|
---|
604 |
|
---|
605 | * <loadproperties> supports loading from a resource.
|
---|
606 | Bugzilla Report 28340.
|
---|
607 |
|
---|
608 | * Nested file mappers and a container mapper implementation have been
|
---|
609 | introduced. Additionally, the <mapper> element now accepts "defined"
|
---|
610 | nested FileNameMapper implementations directly, allowing a usage
|
---|
611 | comparable to those of <condition>, <filter>, and <selector>.
|
---|
612 |
|
---|
613 | * New <redirector> type introduced to provide extreme I/O flexibility.
|
---|
614 | Initial support for <exec>, <apply>, and <java> tasks.
|
---|
615 |
|
---|
616 | * <apply> has a new ignoremissing attribute (default true for BC)
|
---|
617 | which will allow nonexistent files specified via <filelist>s to
|

618 | be passed to the executable. Bugzilla Report 29585.
|
---|
619 |
|
---|
620 | * <junitreport> now also works with Xalan XSLTC and/or JDK 1.5.
|
---|
621 | Bugzilla Report 27541.
|
---|
622 |
|
---|
623 | * <jspc> doesn't work properly with Tomcat 5.x. We've implemented a
|
---|
624 | work-around but don't intend to support future changes in Tomcat
|
---|
625 | 5.x. Please use the jspc task that ships with Tomcat instead of
|
---|
626 | Ant's.
|
---|
627 |
|
---|
628 | Changes from Ant 1.6.0 to Ant 1.6.1

|
---|
638 | -----------
|
---|
639 | * Remove a recursive template call in the junit xsls that could trigger a stack

|
---|
642 |
|
---|
643 | * Fix spurious infinite loop detection for filters (introduced in ant 1.6.0).

---|
650 | * <whichresource> failed to load classes correctly.
|
---|
651 |
|
---|
652 | * Ant could fail to start with a NullPointerException if
|
---|
653 | ANT_HOME/lib/ant-launcher.jar was part of the system CLASSPATH.
|
---|
654 |
|
---|
655 | * presetdef'ed types did not work with the ant-type attribute
|
---|
656 |

|
---|
658 | Reports 25687 and 26225.
|
---|

|
---|
663 | directory didn't exist. Bugzilla Report 25856.
|
---|
664 |
|
---|
665 | * Ant now fails with a more useful message if a new process will be
|
---|
666 | forked in a directory and that directory doesn't exist.
|
---|
667 |
|

671 | * Ant 1.6.0 cannot run build scripts in directories with non-ASCII names.
|
---|
672 | Bugzilla Report 26642.

---|
673 |
|
---|
674 | Other changes:
|
---|
675 | --------------
|
---|
676 | * Shipped XML parser is now Xerces-J 2.6.1
|
---|
677 |
|
---|

|
---|
687 | Bugzilla Report 24711.
|
---|
688 |
|
---|
689 | * Extending ClearCase Tasks :
|
---|
690 | - Added an extra option to 'failonerr' to each ClearCase task/command.
|
---|
691 | - Extended the functionality of cccheckout. It can check (notco) to see if
|
---|
692 | the desired element is already checked out to the current view. Thus it
|
---|
693 | won't attempt to check it out again.
|
---|
694 | - Added three new ClearCase commands: ccmkattr, ccmkdir, ccmkelem
|
---|
695 | Bugzilla Report 26253.

|
---|
697 | * added nested text support to <macrodef>
|
---|
698 |
|
---|
699 | * added initial support for Java 1.5. Java 1.5 is now correctly
|
---|
700 | detected by Ant and treated just like Java 1.4. You can now specify
|
---|
701 | source="1.5" in the <javac> task.
|
---|
702 |
|
---|
703 | * created new task <cvsversion>
|
---|

705 | * added support for branch logging via the tag attribute in <cvschangelog>
|
---|
706 | Bugzilla Report 13510.
|

707 |
|
---|
708 | * added support the groovy language in the script and scriptdef tasks
|
---|
709 |
|
---|
710 | Changes from Ant 1.5.4 to Ant 1.6.0
|
---|
711 | ===================================
|
---|
712 |
|
---|
713 | Changes that could break older environments:
|
---|
714 | --------------------------------------------
|
---|
715 |
|
---|
716 | * This version of Ant can not be built with JDK 1.1 and requires at
|
---|
717 | least Java 1.2 at runtime as well. Compiling for a 1.1 target is
|
---|
718 | still supported.
|
---|
719 |
|
---|
720 | * Targets cannot have the empty string as their name any longer.
|
---|
721 |
|
---|
722 | * ant.jar's manifest does no longer include a Class-Path entry, so it
|
---|
723 | is no longer possible to run Ant via "java -jar ant.jar" without
|
---|
724 | manually altering the CLASSPATH. Instead of that a file
|
---|
725 | ant-bootstrap.jar is included in the etc directory of the binary
|
---|
726 | distribution, copy this to the lib directory and use
|
---|
727 | "java -jar ant-bootstrap.jar" instead if you want to run Ant without
|
---|
728 | the wrapper script (not recommended).
|
---|
729 |
|
---|
730 | * The <script> task now requires Apache BSF instead of the older IBM
|
---|
731 | version. See <http://jakarta.apache.org/bsf/>
|
---|
732 |
|
---|
733 | * <xmlproperty> will no longer fail if the file to be loaded doesn't exist.
|
---|
734 |
|
---|
735 | * XML namespaces are now enabled in the XML parser, meaning XML namespace
|
---|
736 | declarations no longer cause errors. However task names containing colons
|
---|
737 | will cause errors unless there is a corresponding namespace uri.
|
---|
738 |
|
---|
739 | * The <ftp> and <telnet> tasks now require Jakarta Commons Net instead
|
---|
740 | of the older ORO Netcomponents version. See
|
---|
741 | <http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/net/index.html>.
|
---|
742 |
|
---|
743 | * <input> will no longer prompt the user and wait for input if the
|
---|
744 | addproperty attribute is set to a property that has already been
|
---|
745 | defined in the project. If you rely on the task waiting for input,
|
---|
746 | don't use the addproperty attribute.
|
---|
747 |
|
---|
748 | * The Class-Path attribute in manifests will no longer merge the
|
---|
749 | entries of all manifests found, but will be treated like all other
|
---|
750 | manifest attributes - the most recent attribute(s) will be used.
|
---|
751 |
|
---|
752 | * New Launch mechanism implemented. This moves some functionality from
|
---|
753 | the batch files / shell scripts into Java. This removes environment
|
---|
754 | limitations, for command issues, directory depth issues on Windows. Also
|
---|
755 | allows a per-user library location to be used if the main Ant install
|
---|
756 | is locked down.
|
---|
757 |
|
---|
758 | * The Entry nested element of PropertyFile will not any more have its value
|
---|
759 | attribute (actually increment) overwritten with the new value of the entry
|
---|
760 | after execution.
|
---|
761 |
|
---|
762 | * Output stored from a <java> or <exec> task is now exactly as generated. No
|
---|
763 | conversion to platform end-of-line characters is performed.
|
---|
764 |
|
---|
765 | * <translate> will now preserve line endings.
|
---|
766 |
|
---|
767 | * <ftp> followsymlinks="false" in nested fileset definitions is explicitly
|
---|
768 | required in order to exclude remote symbolic links (when doing a get, chmod,
|
---|
769 | delete, rmdir).
|
---|
770 |
|
---|
771 | * The values of the Copy#fileCopyMap variable has changed from String to
|
---|
772 | String[]. (In java 1.5 terms it was Hashtable<String, String> and
|
---|
773 | is now Hashtable<String, String[]>). This will affect third party code
|
---|
774 | that extend Copy and override Copy#doFileOperations.
|
---|
775 |
|
---|
776 | * <loadproperties> didn't expand properties while <property file="..."/>
|
---|
777 | does, so they were not equivalent. This has been fixed, which means
|
---|
778 | that propetries may get expanded twice if you use an
|
---|
779 | <expandproperties> filterreader. Bugzilla Report 17782.
|
---|
780 |
|
---|
781 | * User defined tasks and typedefs are now handled internally in the
|
---|
782 | same way as predefined tasks and typedefs. Also tasks and typedefs
|
---|
783 | are resolved at a later stage. This causes some
|
---|
784 | differences especially for user defined task containers.
|
---|
785 |
|
---|
786 | * <checksum> log message "Calculating checksum ..." has been degraded
|
---|
787 | from INFO to VERBOSE.
|
---|
788 |
|
---|
789 | Fixed bugs:
|
---|
790 | -----------
|
---|
791 | * Filter readers were not handling line endings properly. Bugzilla
|
---|
792 | Report 18476.
|
---|
793 |
|
---|
794 | * Filtersets were also not handling line endings properly.
|
---|
795 |
|
---|
796 | * Expand tasks did not behave as expected with PatternSets.
|
---|
797 |
|
---|
798 | * <property environment=... /> now works on OS/400.
|
---|
799 |
|
---|
800 | * <cab> could hang listcab on large <fileset>s.
|
---|
801 |
|
---|
802 | * The starteam stcheckout, stcheckin tasks now correctly compute
|
---|
803 | status of files against whatever local tree they are run against
|
---|
804 | and, optionally, will not process a file if it is current.
|
---|
805 | Previously you had to process everything unless you ran against the
|
---|
806 | default folder which wasn't the normal use-case for ant-starteam.
|
---|
807 | The stlist task now similarly displays that status correctly making
|
---|
808 | it a more generally useful tool.
|
---|
809 |
|
---|
810 | * entity includes would cause exceptions if path names included spaces.
|
---|
811 |
|
---|
812 | * addConfiguredXXX would not work for TaskAdapter wrapped tasks
|
---|
813 |
|
---|
814 | * Fix <ilasm> outputfile testing so that the output file does not need
|
---|
815 | to exist beforehand.
|
---|
816 |
|
---|
817 | * Ant will now exit with a return code of 1 if it encounters problems
|
---|
818 | with the command line arguments.
|
---|
819 |
|
---|
820 | * ClassLoader creation changes to use a factory method in Project. A new
|
---|
821 | class AntClassLoader2 implemented for 1.2+ specific features including
|
---|
822 | Package information and addition of classes specified in the Class-Path
|
---|
823 | element of a Jar's manifest.
|
---|
824 |
|
---|
825 | * It is now possible in <exec> to resolve the executable to a project
|
---|
826 | basedir or execution dir relative executable. The resolveExecutable
|
---|
827 | must be used to pick up such executables.
|
---|
828 |
|
---|
829 | * splash screen wouldn't disappear when build was finished.
|
---|
830 |
|
---|
831 | * <exec> output and error streams can now be redirected independently
|
---|
832 | to either a property or a file (or both)
|
---|
833 |
|
---|
834 | * TarEntry's File-arg constructor would fail with a
|
---|
835 | StringIndexOutOfBoundsException on all OSes where os.name is shorter
|
---|
836 | than seven characters. Bugzilla Report 18105.
|
---|
837 |
|
---|
838 | * <copy> and <move>'s failonerror didn't apply to filesets pointing to
|
---|
839 | non-existant directories. Bugzilla Report 18414.
|
---|
840 |
|
---|
841 | * The <stripjavacomments> filter sometimes removed parts of string
|
---|
842 | constants. Bugzilla Report 17441.
|
---|
843 |
|
---|
844 | * <antlr> will now recompile your grammar if the supergrammar has
|
---|
845 | changed. Bugzilla Report 12691.
|
---|
846 |
|
---|
847 | * <property env> will now work on Unices with /bin/env instead of
|
---|
848 | /usr/bin/env. Bugzilla Report 17642.
|
---|
849 |
|
---|

|
---|
853 | include the top-level entries. Bugzilla Report 16972.
|
---|
854 |
|
---|
855 | * <tar> and <zip> didn't honor the defaultexcludes attribute for the
|
---|
856 | implicit fileset. Bugzilla Report 18637.
|
---|
857 |
|
---|
858 | * The <replacetokens> filter would throw an exception if the token's
|
---|
859 | value was an empty string. Bugzilla Report 18625.
|
---|
860 |
|
---|
861 | * Perforce tasks relying on output from the server such as <p4change>
|
---|
862 | and <p4label> were hanging. Bugzilla Reports 18129 and 18956.
|
---|
863 |
|
---|
864 | * Improve exception and logging behavior of Perforce tasks.
|
---|
865 | Bugzilla report 18154.
|
---|
866 |
|
---|
867 | * build.sh install had a problem on cygwin (with REALANTHOME).
|
---|
868 | Bugzilla Report 17257
|
---|
869 |
|
---|
870 | * <replaceregexp> didn't work for multi-byte encodings if byline was false.
|
---|
871 | Bugzilla Report 19187.

---|
876 |
|
---|
877 | * file names that include spaces need to be quoted inside the @argfile
|
---|
878 | argument using forked <javac> and (all JDKS). Bugzilla Report 10499.
|
---|

|
---|
880 | It has been changed to quote for all external compilers when paths
|
---|
881 | contain spaces.
|
---|
882 | Also the backslashes need to be converted to forward slashes
|
---|
883 | Bugzilla Report 17683.
|
---|
884 |
|
---|
885 | * Setting filesonly to true in <zip> and related tasks would cause the
|
---|
886 | archives to be always recreated. Bugzilla Report 19449.
|
---|
887 |
|
---|
888 | * file names that include spaces need to be quoted inside the @argfile
|
---|
889 | argument using <javadoc> and JDK 1.4. Bugzilla Report 16871.
|
---|
890 |
|

891 | * <junit> didn't work with custom formatters that were only available
|
---|
892 | on the user specified classpath when a timeout occured. Bugzilla

---|
989 | * Shipped XML parser is now Xerces 2.6.0
|
---|
990 |
|
---|
991 | * All tasks can be used outside of <target>s. Note that some tasks
|

992 | will not work at all outside of targets as they would cause infinite
|
---|
993 | loops (<antcall> as well as <ant> and <subant> if they invoke the
|
---|
994 | current build file).
|
---|
995 |

---|
996 | * Six new Clearcase tasks added.
|
---|
997 |

|
---|
1031 | timestamp of a downloaded file.
|
---|
1032 |
|
---|
1033 | * new rmdir action for <ftp> that removes directories from a fileset.
|
---|
1034 |
|
---|
1035 | * <ftp> has attributes timediffauto and timediffmillis to use together
|
---|
1036 | with the newer attribute to tell ant to take into account a time difference
|
---|
1037 | between client and remote side.
|
---|
1038 | Bugzilla Report 19358.
|
---|
1039 |
|
---|
1040 | * <ftp> has been optimized to go directly to the include patterns.
|
---|
1041 | This reduces scanning time under UNIX when followsymlinks="true"
|
---|
1042 | and casesensitive="true" (the default)
|
---|
1043 | Bugzilla Report 20103.
|

|
---|
1055 | in the XML file.
|
---|
1056 |
|
---|
1057 | * <xmlcatalog> will now support external catalogs according to the
|
---|
1058 | OASIS "Open Catalog" standard - if resolver.jar (newer than version
|
---|
1059 | 1.0) from Apache's xml-commons is in your CLASSPATH.
|
---|
1060 |
|
---|
1061 | * Starteam tasks now have support for revision labels and build labels.
|
---|
1062 | Checkouts now have the option of using repository timestamps, instead
|
---|
1063 | of current.
|
---|
1064 |
|
---|
1065 | * new task <symlink> that creates and maintains symbolic links.

1412 | * It is now possible to use the latest (versioned or unversioned) edition
|
---|
1413 | in <vajload> by using special wildcard characters. Also fixes
|
---|
1414 | Bugzilla Report 2236.
|
---|
1415 |
|
---|
1416 | Changes from Ant 1.5.2 to Ant 1.5.3
|
---|
1417 | ===================================
|
---|
1418 |
|
---|
1419 | Changes that could break older environments:
|
---|
1420 | --------------------------------------------
|
---|
1421 |
|
---|
1422 | * The <zip> task and friends have again changed a method signature
|
---|
1423 | (sorry, was necessary to fix bug 17780). The return type of
|
---|
1424 | getResourcesToAdd has changed.
|
---|
1425 |
|
---|
1426 | Fixed bugs:
|
---|
1427 | -----------
|
---|
1428 |
|
---|
1429 | * <zipfileset>'s filemode would get ignored and the dirmode was used
|
---|
1430 | for the included files as well. As a side effect, WinZIP was unable
|
---|
1431 | to extract or display the files, so they seemed to be missing from
|
---|
1432 | the archive. Bugzilla Report 17648.
|
---|
1433 |
|
---|
1434 | * <ftp> could use the wrong path separator when trying to change the
|
---|
1435 | remote working directory. Bugzilla Report 17735.
|
---|
1436 |
|
---|
1437 | * <jar update="true"> would loose all original files if you didn't
|
---|
1438 | specify any nested <(zip)fileset>s and the manifest had changed.
|
---|
1439 | Bugzilla Report 17780.
|
---|
1440 |
|
---|
1441 | * If you used a value starting with \ on Windows for the appxml
|
---|
1442 | attribute of <ear> or the webxml attribute of <war>, it would be
|
---|
1443 | ignored. Bugzilla Report 17871.
|
---|
1444 |
|
---|
1445 | * Ant will no longer implicitly add Sun's rt.jar in <javac> when you
|
---|
1446 | use jvc and don't specify a bootclasspath. Bugzilla Report 18055.
|
---|
1447 |
|
---|
1448 | * The prefix attribute of <zipfileset> would not generate directory
|
---|
1449 | entries for the prefix itself. Bugzilla Report 18403.
|
---|
1450 |
|
---|
1451 | * starteam checkout can now handle deleted labels. Bugzilla Report 17646.
|
---|
1452 |
|
---|
1453 | * The Unix wrapper script failed if you invoked it as a relative
|
---|
1454 | symlink and ANT_HOME has not been set. Bugzilla Report 17721.
|
---|
1455 |
|
---|
1456 | Other Changes:
|
---|
1457 | --------------
|
---|
1458 | * Added ability to specify manifest encoding for the <jar> and
|
---|
1459 | <manifest> tasks
|
---|
1460 |
|
---|
1461 | Changes from Ant 1.5.1 to Ant 1.5.2
|
---|
1462 | =============================================
|
---|
1463 |
|
---|
1464 | Changes that could break older environments:
|
---|
1465 | --------------------------------------------
|
---|
1466 | * ANT_OPTS environment variable is now applied at the start of the
|
---|
1467 | Java command line, allowing position specific parameters of some
|
---|
1468 | JVMs, such as -classic to be specified.
|
---|
1469 |
|
---|
1470 | * ZipScanner#getIncludedFiles will now return the names of the ZipEntries
|
---|
1471 | that have been matched instead of the name of the archive.
|
---|
1472 |
|
---|
1473 | * The <zip> task and friends have been heavily modified, almost every
|
---|
1474 | method signature of the Zip class has changed. If you have subclassed
|
---|
1475 | Zip (or one of its subclasses), your class will most likely not
|
---|
1476 | compile against the current code base. If it still compiles, it will
|
---|
1477 | probably not work as in Ant 1.5.1.
|
---|
1478 |
|
---|
1479 | Fixed bugs:
|
---|
1480 | -----------
|
---|
1481 | * <translate> was not ignoring comment lines.
|
---|
1482 |
|
---|
1483 | * <manifest> wouldn't update an existing manifest if only an attribute
|
---|
1484 | of an existing section changed.
|
---|
1485 |
|
---|
1486 | * ant.bat now supports the ANT_ARGS and JAVACMD environment variables
|
---|
1487 | again (like Ant 1.5 did).
|
---|
1488 |
|
---|
1489 | * The "plain" <junit> <formatter> could throw a NullPointerException
|
---|
1490 | if an error occured in setUp.
|
---|
1491 |
|
---|
1492 | * <junit> will now produce output when a test times out as well.
|
---|
1493 |
|
---|
1494 | * <replace> would count some internal character replacements when
|
---|
1495 | reporting the number of replaced tokens.
|
---|
1496 |
|
---|
1497 | * <concat> would cause an exception if a <filelist> pointed to files
|
---|
1498 | that do not exist.
|
---|
1499 |
|
---|
1500 | * <javadoc> will now pass -source to custom doclets as well.
|
---|
1501 |
|
---|
1502 | * <cvstagdiff> would throw a NullPointException if there had been no
|
---|
1503 | differences.
|
---|
1504 |
|
---|
1505 | * <cvschangelog> could miss today's changes.
|
---|
1506 |
|
---|
1507 | * <concat> could append newline characters between concatenated files.
|
---|
1508 |
|
---|
1509 | * <xmlvalidate> ignored the specified encoding of the files to
|
---|
1510 | validate.
|
---|
1511 |
|
---|
1512 | * the errorsbeginat attribute of the <http> condition didn't work.
|
---|
1513 |
|
---|
1514 | * Ant will try to force loading of certain packages like com.sun.*
|
---|
1515 | from the system classloader. The packages are determined by the
|
---|
1516 | version of the JVM running Ant.
|
---|
1517 |
|
---|
1518 | * Ant didn't find the runtime libraries on IBM's JDK 1.4 for Linux.
|
---|
1519 |
|
---|
1520 | * random component of temporary files is now always a positive integer.
|
---|
1521 |
|
---|
1522 | * Ant could incorrectly try to use the 1.4 regexp implementation even
|
---|
1523 | if it isn't available if you run the JVM with -Xverify:none.
|
---|
1524 |
|
---|
1525 | * Ant would die with an exception if you used nested <reference>
|
---|
1526 | elements in Ant and the refid attribute didn't point to an existing
|
---|
1527 | project reference.
|
---|
1528 |
|
---|
1529 | * The <get> task can now be compiled (and Ant thus bootstrapped) using
|
---|
1530 | Kaffee.
|
---|
1531 |
|
---|
1532 | * build.sysclasspath will now be honored by more tasks.
|
---|
1533 |
|
---|
1534 | * The signjar keystore attribute has been reverted to a String allowing
|
---|
1535 | it to once again accept URLs. This should not affect current File based usage
|
---|
1536 | unless you are extending the Signjar task.
|
---|
1537 |
|
---|
1538 | * <jar update="true"> would remove the original manifest.
|
---|
1539 |
|
---|
1540 | * fix up folder creation in PVCS task
|
---|
1541 |
|
---|
1542 | * <tar>'s up-to-date check didn't work for nested <(tar)fileset>s.
|
---|
1543 |
|
---|
1544 | * Corrected a problem in XMLLogger where it would not associated
|
---|
1545 | messages with a taskdef'd task
|
---|
1546 |
|
---|
1547 | * <uptodate> now works when using attributes (i.e. not filesets) and pointing
|
---|
1548 | to the same file
|
---|
1549 |
|
---|
1550 | * Java task (and output system) now stores output which doos not end
|
---|
1551 | with a line feed.
|
---|
1552 |
|
---|
1553 | * splash screen wouldn't disappear when build was finished.
|
---|
1554 |
|
---|
1555 | * <exec> now supports OS/2.
|
---|
1556 |
|
---|
1557 | * <zip> and friends would only update/recreate existing archives if
|
---|
1558 | the files to add/update have been newer than the archive.
|
---|
1559 |
|
---|
1560 | * <javadoc>'s <link> element could fail for offline="true" on some JDKs.
|
---|
1561 |
|
---|
1562 | Other changes:
|
---|
1563 | --------------
|
---|
1564 |
|
---|
1565 | * MailLogger now sets the Date header correctly.
|
---|
1566 |
|
---|
1567 | * Shipped XML parser is now Xerces 2.3.0
|
---|
1568 |
|
---|
1569 | * signjar now accepts a maxmemory attribute to allow the memory allocated to the
|
---|
1570 | jarsigner tool to be specified. The jarsigner from the JDK's JAVA_HOME bin
|
---|
1571 | dir is now used rather than the first jarsigner on the path.
|
---|
1572 |
|
---|
1573 | * **/.DS_Store has been added to the list of default pattern excludes.
|
---|
1574 |
|
---|
1575 | * The Created-By header in the default manifest now contains the JVM
|
---|
1576 | vendor and version according to the jar specification. A new header,
|
---|
1577 | Ant-Version provides the Ant version used to create the jar.
|
---|
1578 |
|
---|
1579 | * <zip> can now store Unix permissions in a way that can be
|
---|
1580 | reconstructed by Info-Zip's unzip command.
|
---|
1581 |
|
---|
1582 | Changes from Ant 1.5.1Beta1 to 1.5.1
|
---|
1583 | ====================================
|
---|
1584 |
|
---|
1585 | Fixed bugs:
|
---|
1586 | -----------
|
---|
1587 |
|
---|
1588 | * <tstamp>'s prefix attribute failed to apply to nested <format> elements.
|
---|
1589 |
|
---|
1590 | * <junitreport> created an empty junit-noframes.html if no format had
|
---|
1591 | been specified.
|
---|
1592 |
|
---|
1593 | * <basename> would remove more than it should if the file name
|
---|
1594 | contained more than one dot.
|
---|
1595 |
|
---|
1596 | * <filterset>s nested into <filterset>s didn't work.
|
---|
1597 |
|
---|
1598 | Other changes:
|
---|
1599 | --------------
|
---|
1600 |
|
---|
1601 | * Shipped XML parser is now Xerces 2.2.0
|
---|
1602 |
|
---|
1603 | * Filesets now support a 'file' attribute, allowing a single-file
|
---|
1604 | fileset to be constructed without having to specify its parent
|
---|
1605 | directory separately.
|
---|
1606 |
|
---|
1607 | * <junit> will now return the result of a call to getName instead of
|
---|
1608 | "unknown" for Test implementations that don't extend TestCase but have
|
---|
1609 | a public String getName() method.
|
---|
1610 |
|
---|
1611 | Changes from Ant 1.5 to 1.5.1Beta1
|
---|
1612 | ==================================
|
---|
1613 |
|
---|
1614 | Fixed bugs:
|
---|
1615 | -----------
|
---|
1616 | * Date/time in CvsChangeLog was in local timezone and 12 hour format leading
|
---|
1617 | to a problem when sorting by time. It is now UTC (GMT) and in 24-hour
|
---|
1618 | format as per cvs 'specifications'.
|
---|
1619 |
|
---|
1620 | * CvsTagDiff now supports ampersand modules or modules that have a different
|
---|
1621 | root directory than their name.
|
---|
1622 |
|
---|
1623 | * EjbJar threw NPEs for the Websphere element. The property 'websphere.home'
|
---|
1624 | was not documented.
|
---|
1625 |
|
---|
1626 | * Mail example in the documentation was not correct.
|
---|
1627 |
|
---|
1628 | * Checksum was broken in the following scenario:
|
---|
1629 | (using verifyproperty OR in a condition) AND using filesets
|
---|
1630 | with multiple files.
|
---|
1631 |
|
---|
1632 | * The ExpandProperties filter threw NPEs when defined using
|
---|
1633 | the <filterreader> format.
|
---|
1634 |
|
---|
1635 | * The sh wrapper script didn't work under Cygwin if ANT_HOME wasn't
|
---|
1636 | set with a Unix style filename.
|
---|
1637 |
|
---|
1638 | * The sh wrapper script could fail if you started Ant from a directory
|
---|
1639 | with whitespace in its name.
|
---|
1640 |
|
---|
1641 | * ant -diagnostics was not working properly when the task dependency
|
---|
1642 | was missing and was just printing the missing dependency.
|
---|
1643 |
|
---|
1644 | * If a task got redefined via <taskdef>, it lost its child elements.
|
---|
1645 |
|
---|
1646 | * <property>'s classpathref attribute was broken.
|
---|
1647 |
|
---|
1648 | * <arg line="''" /> would result in no command line argument, will now
|
---|
1649 | be a single empty argument. Use <arg value="''"/> if you need the
|
---|
1650 | quotes literally.
|
---|
1651 |
|
---|
1652 | * <replaceregexp> could append a newline character at the end of the
|
---|
1653 | file.
|
---|
1654 |
|
---|
1655 | Other changes:
|
---|
1656 | --------------
|
---|
1657 |
|
---|
1658 | * Appendix E of Java Development with Ant (Loughran/Hatcher) was
|
---|
1659 | contributed to the docs.
|
---|
1660 |
|
---|
1661 | * <available> will only print deprecration warnings if it is actually
|
---|
1662 | used to change the value of a property.
|
---|
1663 |
|
---|
1664 | Changes from Ant 1.5beta3 to Ant 1.5
|
---|
1665 | ====================================
|
---|
1666 |
|
---|
1667 | Changes that could break older environments:
|
---|
1668 | --------------------------------------------
|
---|
1669 |
|
---|
1670 | * The filesetmanifest attribute added to <jar> after the 1.4.1
|
---|
1671 | release has been removed for now. This change may affect only
|
---|
1672 | the 1.5Beta/1.6Alpha users. An attempt will be made to add this
|
---|
1673 | feature back into Ant 1.6.
|
---|
1674 |
|
---|
1675 | Fixed bugs:
|
---|
1676 | -----------
|
---|
1677 |
|
---|
1678 | * <zip> and friends would always update existing archive if you set
|
---|
1679 | the update attribute to true.
|
---|
1680 |
|
---|
1681 | * To support backward compatibility with older versions, <pathconvert>
|
---|
1682 | will once again set the property, even if the result is the empty
|
---|
1683 | string, unless the new 'setonempty' attribute is set to false|no|off
|
---|
1684 | (default is "true").
|
---|
1685 |
|
---|
1686 | * The manifest task would crash XmlLogger
|
---|
1687 |
|
---|
1688 | Other changes:
|
---|
1689 | --------------
|
---|
1690 |
|
---|
1691 | * added **/.svn and **/.svn/** to the default excludes
|
---|
1692 |
|
---|
1693 | Changes from Ant 1.5beta2 to Ant 1.5beta3
|
---|
1694 | =========================================
|
---|
1695 |
|
---|
1696 | Changes that could break older environments:
|
---|
1697 | --------------------------------------------
|
---|
1698 |
|
---|
1699 | * <pvcs> default filenameformat has been different from Ant 1.4.1.
|
---|
1700 | Now it is different from 1.5beta1 and 1.5beta2.
|
---|
1701 |
|
---|
1702 | * <pathconvert> won't set the property if the result is the empty string.
|
---|
1703 |
|
---|
1704 | Fixed bugs:
|
---|
1705 | -----------
|
---|
1706 |
|
---|
1707 | * <available> could fail to find files or directories that happen to
|
---|
1708 | start with the name of the project's basedir but are not children of
|
---|
1709 | the basedir.
|
---|
1710 |
|
---|
1711 | * Nested <property>'s inside <ant> can now be overriden by subsequent
|
---|
1712 | <ant> and <antcall> tasks.
|
---|
1713 |
|
---|
1714 | * <xslt>'s outputtype attribute wouldn't do anything.
|
---|
1715 |
|
---|
1716 | * <linecontains> filterreader could swallow lines.
|
---|
1717 |
|
---|
1718 | * <sequential> used to configure the tasks (set their attributes)
|
---|
1719 | before the first task has been executed. This means that properties
|
---|
1720 | that have been set by nested task seemed to be unset for the other
|
---|
1721 | tasks in the same <sequential> element.
|
---|
1722 |
|
---|
1723 | * <javac>'s sourcepath setting has been ignored by some compiler
|
---|
1724 | implementations.
|
---|
1725 |
|
---|
1726 | * <javadoc>'s packagelist attribute didn't work.
|
---|
1727 |
|
---|
1728 | * the plain mailer would always use port 25 in <mail>.
|
---|
1729 |
|
---|
1730 | * Ant's default logger could swallow empty lines.
|
---|
1731 |
|
---|
1732 | * ejbjar's iPlanet nested element now can process multiple descriptors.
|
---|
1733 |
|
---|
1734 | * IPlanetEjbc was looking in the wrong place for four iiop files.
|
---|
1735 |
|
---|
1736 | * <javac> would pass the -source switch to JDK 1.3's javac, even
|
---|
1737 | though it doesn't support it.
|
---|
1738 |
|
---|
1739 | Other changes:
|
---|
1740 | --------------
|
---|
1741 |
|
---|
1742 | * <checksum> now uses a buffer (of configurable size).
|
---|
1743 |
|
---|
1744 | * The "Trying to override task definition" warning has been degraded
|
---|
1745 | to verbose level if the two task definitions only differ in the class
|
---|
1746 | loader instance that has loaded the definition.
|
---|
1747 |
|
---|
1748 | * Add a jvmargs to the ejbjar's weblogic element to allow additional
|
---|
1749 | arguments to be provided to the VM runnign ejbc. Document the
|
---|
1750 | jvmdebuglevel attribute which can be used to avoid warnings about
|
---|
1751 | interface classess being found on the classpath. Document the new
|
---|
1752 | <sysproperty> element which allows JVM properties to be defined.
|
---|
1753 | Added an outputdir attribute to allow the destination to be a
|
---|
1754 | directory into which the exploded jar is written.
|
---|
1755 |
|
---|
1756 | * ejbjar now supports Borland Enterprise Server 5 and Jonas 2.5
|
---|
1757 |
|
---|
1758 | Changes from Ant 1.5beta1 to Ant 1.5beta2
|
---|
1759 | =========================================
|
---|
1760 |
|
---|
1761 | Changes that could break older environments:
|
---|
1762 | --------------------------------------------
|
---|
1763 |
|
---|
1764 | * Properties will now be expanded in mail message bodies. This means
|
---|
1765 | that one $ sign will be stripped if your mail message contains the text
|
---|
1766 | $$.
|
---|
1767 |
|
---|
1768 | * org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Expand no longer extends MatchingTask.
|
---|
1769 |
|
---|
1770 | * Available#setFile now again uses a File argument as it did in 1.4,
|
---|
1771 | this may break environments that have been adapted to the String
|
---|
1772 | argument version present in 1.5beta1.
|
---|
1773 |
|
---|
1774 | Fixed bugs:
|
---|
1775 | -----------
|
---|
1776 | * When <move> attempts a rename, it deletes the destination file, if it
|
---|
1777 | exists, before renaming the source file. However, <move> was not
|
---|
1778 | checking if the destination file was actually a directory before
|
---|
1779 | trying to delete it.
|
---|
1780 |
|
---|
1781 | * Make CVS Tasks to work under Cygwin.
|
---|
1782 |
|
---|
1783 | * Fix LineContains to handle huge files elegantly without causing
|
---|
1784 | Stack Overflows.
|
---|
1785 |
|
---|
1786 | * if you ask for the "classic" compiler on Java1.4, you get upgraded to
|
---|
1787 | "modern" because there is no classic compiler any more.
|
---|
1788 |
|
---|
1789 | * the <http> condition was viewing 404 'not found' exceptions as success. Now
|
---|
1790 | it defaults to viewing any response >=400 as an error, and has an errorsBeginAt
|
---|
1791 | attribute you can use if you want a higher or lower value.
|
---|
1792 |
|
---|
1793 | * <get> throws a build exception on an http authorization error, unless you
|
---|
1794 | have set ignoreerrors to true.
|
---|
1795 |
|
---|
1796 | * <wsdltodotnet> was spelt in Wintel case: <WsdlToDotnet>. It is now lower
|
---|
1797 | case, though the old spelling is retained for anyone who used it.
|
---|
1798 |
|
---|
1799 | * Merging of Manifests in jar now works as documented.
|
---|
1800 |
|
---|
1801 | * paths that have been separated by colons would be incorrectly parsed
|
---|
1802 | on NetWare.
|
---|
1803 |
|
---|
1804 | * runant.pl now supports NetWare.
|
---|
1805 |
|
---|
1806 | * <tempfile> and <setproxy> tasks were in beta1, but not defined by
|
---|
1807 | default; They now are. <tempfile> fills a property with the name of a
|
---|
1808 | temporary file; <setproxy> lets you set the JVM's http, ftp and socks proxy
|
---|
1809 | settings.
|
---|
1810 |
|
---|
1811 | * <available classname="foo" ignoresystemclasses="true"> failed for
|
---|
1812 | JDK 1.1 and 1.2, even if the class could be found on the
|
---|
1813 | user-specified classpath.
|
---|
1814 |
|
---|
1815 | * <property environment=... /> now works on z/OS.
|
---|
1816 |
|
---|
1817 | * forked <javac> failed for the wrong reason on JDK 1.1 - Ant would
|
---|
1818 | use a temporary file to hold the names of the files to compile under
|
---|
1819 | some conditons, but 1.1 doesn't support this feature. Ant will no
|
---|
1820 | longer try this, but you may run into problems with the length of the
|
---|
1821 | command line now.
|
---|
1822 |
|
---|
1823 | * the refid attribute for <property>s nested into <ant> or <param>s
|
---|
1824 | nested into <antcall> didn't work.
|
---|
1825 |
|
---|
1826 | * <replaceregexp> didn't work for nested <fileset>s.
|
---|
1827 |
|
---|
1828 | * <javadoc> dropped sourcepath entries if no "interesting" .java
|
---|
1829 | source files could be found below them. This has been backwards
|
---|
1830 | incompatible and caused problems with custom doclets like xdoclet.
|
---|
1831 |
|
---|
1832 | * Using the doclet, docletpath or docletpathref attributes of
|
---|
1833 | <javadoc> may have caused NullPointerExceptions.
|
---|
1834 |
|
---|
1835 | * nested <filesets> of <javadoc> would include too much.
|
---|
1836 |
|
---|
1837 | * <dependset> will no longer choke on <targetfileset>s that point to
|
---|
1838 | non-existing directories.
|
---|
1839 |
|
---|
1840 | * <patch> didn't work at all.
|
---|
1841 |
|
---|
1842 | * <replace> and <replaceregexp> now fail if the file they are working
|
---|
1843 | on is locked.
|
---|
1844 |
|
---|
1845 | * <javadoc> would pick up the wrong executable in the combination JDK
|
---|
1846 | 1.2 and AIX.
|
---|
1847 |
|
---|
1848 | Other changes:
|
---|
1849 | --------------
|
---|
1850 |
|
---|
1851 | * z/OS now gets detected by the os condition.
|
---|
1852 |
|
---|
1853 | * <fileset> and <dirset> now have an optional followsymlink attribute
|
---|
1854 | that can prevent Ant from following symbolic links on some platforms.
|
---|
1855 |
|
---|
1856 | * BeanShell is now supported in the <script> task.
|
---|
1857 |
|
---|
1858 | * <ejbjar> under Weblogic attempts to use the ejbc20 compiler for 2.0 beans
|
---|
1859 | based on the deployment descriptor's DTD reference. Under weblogic 7.00 Beta
|
---|
1860 | this ejbc class has been deprecated. To avoid the deprecation warning use
|
---|
1861 | ejbcclass="weblogic.ejbc".
|
---|
1862 |
|
---|
1863 | * <ejbjar> will add a manifest to the generated jar based on the naming
|
---|
1864 | convention in use. This overrides the manifest specified in the
|
---|
1865 | <ejbjar> attribute
|
---|
1866 |
|
---|
1867 |
|
---|
1868 | Changes from Ant 1.4.1 to 1.5beta1
|
---|
1869 | ==================================
|
---|
1870 |
|
---|
1871 | Changes that could break older environments:
|
---|
1872 | --------------------------------------------
|
---|
1873 |
|
---|
1874 | * Important: Single $ signs are no longer silently stripped!
|
---|
1875 | Before you panic that we have broken all your build files, we have kept
|
---|
1876 | the old "$$" -> "$" behaviour. So only build files which accidentally had
|
---|
1877 | a $ sign in a string that was being silently stripped may break.
|
---|
1878 | We added this fix to stop newbie confusion; if you want to write a
|
---|
1879 | build file which works on ant versions 1.4.1 or earlier, stay with
|
---|
1880 | the double $$ sign rule.
|
---|
1881 |
|
---|
1882 | * Project.getBuildListeners now returns a clone of the listener
|
---|
1883 | list. Changes to the returned list will not affect the listeners
|
---|
1884 | currently attached to the Project. It also means that it is safe to
|
---|
1885 | iterate over the returned list if listeners are added or removed
|
---|
1886 | during the traversal.
|
---|
1887 |
|
---|
1888 | * <pvcs> default filenameformat has been different from Ant 1.4.1.
|
---|
1889 |
|
---|
1890 | * Some messages that are printed during startup will not be
|
---|
1891 | written to the logfile specified via -logfile as they might destroy
|
---|
1892 | the format of the file for special BuildLoggers (like XmlLogger).
|
---|
1893 |
|
---|
1894 | * The filesetmanifest attribute added to <jar> after the 1.4.1
|
---|
1895 | release has been removed for now. This change may affect only
|
---|
1896 | the 1.5Beta/1.6Alpha users. An attempt will be made to add this
|
---|
1897 | feature back into Ant 1.6.
|
---|
1898 | * Shipped XML parser is now Xerces 2.0.1 along with the XML Parser APIs.
|
---|
1899 | XML Parser APIs is a separate jar that contains the necessary
|
---|
1900 | JAXP/DOM/SAX classes.
|
---|
1901 |
|
---|
1902 | * <telnet> was fixed to expand properties inside nested <read> and
|
---|
1903 | <write> elements; before this only happened when you assigned the text
|
---|
1904 | to the string attribute. If you had $ signs in the string, they may
|
---|
1905 | need escaping.
|
---|
1906 |
|
---|
1907 | * the RegexpMatcher interface has been extended to support case
|
---|
1908 | insensitive matches and other options - custom implementations of
|
---|
1909 | this interface won't work any longer. We recommend to use the new
|
---|
1910 | Regexp interface that also supports substitution instead of the
|
---|
1911 | RegexpMatcher interface in the future.
|
---|
1912 |
|
---|
1913 | * <gzip> will throw an exception if your src attribute points to a directory.
|
---|
1914 |
|
---|
1915 | * Unjar, Unzip and Unwar will throw an exception if the Src attribute
|
---|
1916 | represents a directory. Support for nested filesets is provided
|
---|
1917 | instead.
|
---|
1918 |
|
---|
1919 | * It is no longer possible to overwrite a property using tasks like
|
---|
1920 | <condition>, <exec>, <pathconvert>, or <tstamp>. In some exceptional
|
---|
1921 | cases it will generate a warning if you attempt to overwrite an
|
---|
1922 | existing property.
|
---|
1923 |
|
---|
1924 | * Taskwriters please note: Whenever tasks had any overloaded set* methods,
|
---|
1925 | Ant's introspection mechanism would select the last overloaded method
|
---|
1926 | provided to it by the Java Runtime. A modification has now been made such
|
---|
1927 | that when the Java Runtime provides a method with a String as its argument,
|
---|
1928 | a check is made to see if there is another overloaded method that takes in
|
---|
1929 | some other type of argument. If there is one such method, then the method
|
---|
1930 | that takes in String as an argument is not selected by the Introspector.
|
---|
1931 |
|
---|
1932 | * The pattern definition **/._* has been included into the Default
|
---|
1933 | Excludes list.
|
---|
1934 |
|
---|
1935 | * <propertyfile>'s <entry> element was modified to remove "never" as a value
|
---|
1936 | as its behavior was undocumented and flakey.
|
---|
1937 |
|
---|
1938 | * The -projecthelp flag now only prints out targets that include the
|
---|
1939 | 'description' attribute, unless the -verbose or -debug flag is included
|
---|
1940 | on the Ant command line.
|
---|
1941 |
|
---|
1942 | * Ant's testcases now require JUnit 3.7 or above, as they now use the new
|
---|
1943 | assertTrue method instead of assert.
|
---|
1944 |
|
---|
1945 | * If the 'output' attribute of <ant> is set to a simple filename or a
|
---|
1946 | relative path, the file is created relative to ${basedir}, not ${user.dir}.
|
---|
1947 |
|
---|
1948 | * The default value for build.compiler is now javac1.x with x
|
---|
1949 | depending on the JDK that is running Ant instead of classic/modern.
|
---|
1950 |
|
---|
1951 | Fixed bugs:
|
---|
1952 | -----------
|
---|
1953 |
|
---|
1954 | * <available> could fail to find files or directories that happen to
|
---|
1955 | start with the name of the project's basedir but are not children of
|
---|
1956 | the basedir.
|
---|
1957 |
|
---|
1958 | * Nested <property>'s inside <ant> can now be overriden by subsequent
|
---|
1959 | <ant> and <antcall> tasks.
|
---|
1960 |
|
---|
1961 | * <xslt>'s outputtype attribute wouldn't do anything.
|
---|
1962 |
|
---|
1963 | * <linecontains> filterreader could swallow lines.
|
---|
1964 |
|
---|
1965 | * <sequential> used to configure the tasks (set their attributes)
|
---|
1966 | before the first task has been executed. This means that properties
|
---|
1967 | that have been set by nested task seemed to be unset for the other
|
---|
1968 | tasks in the same <sequential> element.
|
---|
1969 |
|
---|
1970 | * <javac>'s sourcepath setting has been ignored by some compiler
|
---|
1971 | implementations.
|
---|
1972 |
|
---|
1973 | * <javadoc>'s packagelist attribute didn't work.
|
---|
1974 |
|
---|
1975 | * the plain mailer would always use port 25 in <mail>.
|
---|
1976 |
|
---|
1977 | * Ant's default logger could swallow empty lines.
|
---|
1978 |
|
---|
1979 | * ejbjar's iPlanet nested element now can process multiple descriptors.
|
---|
1980 |
|
---|
1981 | * IPlanetEjbc was looking in the wrong place for four iiop files.
|
---|
1982 |
|
---|
1983 | * <javac> would pass the -source switch to JDK 1.3's javac, even
|
---|
1984 | though it doesn't support it.
|
---|
1985 |
|
---|
1986 | * <zip> and friends would always update existing archive if you set
|
---|
1987 | the update attribute to true.
|
---|
1988 |
|
---|
1989 | * To support backward compatibility with older versions, <pathconvert>
|
---|
1990 | will once again set the property, even if the result is the empty
|
---|
1991 | string, unless the new 'setonempty' attribute is set to false|no|off
|
---|
1992 | (default is "true").
|
---|
1993 |
|
---|
1994 | * The manifest task would crash XmlLogger
|
---|
1995 |
|
---|
1996 | * A bug existed that prevented generated log files from being deleted as
|
---|
1997 | part of the build process itself. This has now been fixed.
|
---|
1998 |
|
---|
1999 | * Fixed bug where <move> ignored <filterset>s.
|
---|
2000 |
|
---|
2001 | * Ant works properly with the combination of Java1.4/WindowsXP.
|
---|
2002 |
|
---|
2003 | * Fixed bug where <java> used to sometimes invoke class constructors twice.
|
---|
2004 |
|
---|
2005 | * Fixed bug with 4NT shell support.
|
---|
2006 |
|
---|
2007 | * Fixed bug where ant would not perform ftp without remotedir being
|
---|
2008 | specified even though this was not mandatory.
|
---|
2009 |
|
---|
2010 | * Fixed bug where ant would not copy system properties into new Project
|
---|
2011 | in ant/antcall tasks when inheritall="false" is set.
|
---|
2012 |
|
---|
2013 | * <propertyfile> would not close the original property file.
|
---|
2014 |
|
---|
2015 | * <ant> will no longer override a subbuild's basedir with inheritall="true".
|
---|
2016 |
|
---|
2017 | * Fixed problem with the built-in <junit> formatters which assumed
|
---|
2018 | that only one test could be running at the same time - this is not
|
---|
2019 | necessarily true, see junit.extensions.ActiveTestSuite.
|
---|
2020 |
|
---|
2021 | * <jar>'s whenEmpty attribute is useless as JARs are never empty, they
|
---|
2022 | contain at least a manifest file, therefore it will now print a
|
---|
2023 | warning and do nothing.
|
---|
2024 |
|
---|
2025 | * <typedef> hasn't been all that useful as it couldn't be used outside
|
---|
2026 | of targets (it can now) and nested "unknown" elements have always
|
---|
2027 | been considered to be tasks (changed as well).
|
---|
2028 |
|
---|
2029 | * <fixcrlf> would fail for files that contained lines longer than 8kB.
|
---|
2030 |
|
---|
2031 | * Some junit formatters incorrectly assumed that all testcases would
|
---|
2032 | inherit from junit.framework.TestCase.
|
---|
2033 |
|
---|
2034 | * <fixcrlf> dropped the first characters from Mac files.
|
---|
2035 |
|
---|
2036 | Other changes:
|
---|
2037 | --------------
|
---|
2038 |
|
---|
2039 | * <checksum> now uses a buffer (of configurable size).
|
---|
2040 |
|
---|
2041 | * The "Trying to override task definition" warning has been degraded
|
---|
2042 | to verbose level if the two task definitions only differ in the class
|
---|
2043 | loader instance that has loaded the definition.
|
---|
2044 |
|
---|
2045 | * Add a jvmargs to the ejbjar's weblogic element to allow additional
|
---|
2046 | arguments to be provided to the VM runnign ejbc. Document the
|
---|
2047 | jvmdebuglevel attribute which can be used to avoid warnings about
|
---|
2048 | interface classess being found on the classpath. Document the new
|
---|
2049 | <sysproperty> element which allows JVM properties to be defined.
|
---|
2050 | Added an outputdir attribute to allow the destination to be a
|
---|
2051 | directory into which the exploded jar is written.
|
---|
2052 |
|
---|
2053 | * ejbjar now supports Borland Enterprise Server 5 and Jonas 2.5
|
---|
2054 |
|
---|
2055 | * added **/.svn and **/.svn/** to the default excludes
|
---|
2056 | * Selector Elements now provide a way to create filesets based on
|
---|
2057 | sophisticated selection criteria.
|
---|
2058 |
|
---|
2059 | * Gzip and Bzip2 files can now be constructed in the fly when using
|
---|
2060 | the tar task without having to create the intermediate tar file on
|
---|
2061 | disk. The Untar task can also untar GZip and BZip2 files on the fly
|
---|
2062 | without creating the intermediate tar file.
|
---|
2063 |
|
---|
2064 | * New optional type, <classfileset> added.
|
---|
2065 |
|
---|
2066 | * <ejbjar> now allows control over which additional classes and interfaces
|
---|
2067 | are added to the generated EJB jars. A new attribute "dependency" can be
|
---|
2068 | defined which controls what classes are added. The addition of classes now uses
|
---|
2069 | the Jakarta-BCEL library rather than reflection, meaning bean classes are
|
---|
2070 | no longer loaded into Ant's JVM. The default dependency analyzer is known as
|
---|
2071 | the ancestor analyzer. It provides the same behaviour as the 1.4.1 version of
|
---|
2072 | <ejbjar>. If the BCEL library is not present, a warning will be issued stating
|
---|
2073 | the ancestor analyzer is not available. In this case <ejbjar> will continue
|
---|
2074 | to function but will not add super classes to the jar.
|
---|
2075 |
|
---|
2076 | * <available> has a new attribute named ignoreSystemClasses.
|
---|
2077 |
|
---|
2078 | * New task <cvschangelog/> generates an XML report of changes that occur
|
---|
2079 | on CVS repository.
|
---|
2080 |
|
---|
2081 | * New filter readers: ClassConstants, ExpandProperties, HeadFilter,
|
---|
2082 | LineContains, LineContainsRegExp, PrefixLines, ReplaceTokens,
|
---|
2083 | StripJavaComments, StripLineBreaks, StripLineComments, TabsToSpaces,
|
---|
2084 | TailFilter.
|
---|
2085 |
|
---|
2086 | * <copy>, <loadfile>, <loadproperties>, <move> support FilterChains
|
---|
2087 | of FilterReaders.
|
---|
2088 |
|
---|
2089 | * New task <loadproperties> to load contents of file as Ant properties,
|
---|
2090 | with nested <filterchain> elements.
|
---|
2091 |
|
---|
2092 | * New task <loadfile> to load a whole file into a property.
|
---|
2093 |
|
---|
2094 | * New task <echoproperties> to list your current properties to the screen
|
---|
2095 | or a file.
|
---|
2096 |
|
---|
2097 | * New tasks <bzip2> and <bunzip2> to pack and unpack files using the
|
---|
2098 | BZip2 alogrithm.
|
---|
2099 |
|
---|
2100 | * New tasks <replaceregexp>, <checksum>, <translate>, <waitfor>,
|
---|
2101 | <manifest>, <vsscp>, <vssadd>, <vsscreate>, <splash>, <basename>, <dirname>,
|
---|
2102 | <concat>, <sourceoffsite>, <jarlib-available>, <jarlib-display>,
|
---|
2103 | <jarlib-manifest>, <jarlib-resolve>.
|
---|
2104 |
|
---|
2105 | * A new combined <mail> task, which replaces the old <mail> and
|
---|
2106 | <mimemail> tasks, has been added. The <mimemail> task, and
|
---|
2107 | old SendEmail and MimeMail classes have been deprecated.
|
---|
2108 |
|
---|
2109 | * Mail task allows specification of port number.
|
---|
2110 |
|
---|
2111 | * Users can control what <zip> and <jar> must do when duplicate files
|
---|
2112 | are found. A new element <zipgroupfileset> allows for multiple zip
|
---|
2113 | files to be merged into the archive. In addition, <jar> also has
|
---|
2114 | another new attribute: filesetmanifest. The existing manifest
|
---|
2115 | attribute of <jar> now also accepts the name of a jar added through
|
---|
2116 | a fileset.
|
---|
2117 |
|
---|
2118 | * gzip now checks that the zipfile is older than the source file
|
---|
2119 | before rebuilding the zipfile.
|
---|
2120 |
|
---|
2121 | * TarFileset takes in three new attributes - fullpath, prefix
|
---|
2122 | and preserveLeadingSlashes.
|
---|
2123 |
|
---|
2124 | * <move> attempts to rename the directory, if everything inside it is
|
---|
2125 | included, before performing file-by-file moves. This attempt will
|
---|
2126 | be done only if filtering is off and if mappers are not used. This
|
---|
2127 | is a performance improvement and there is no change otherwise in
|
---|
2128 | the funtionality of this task.
|
---|
2129 |
|
---|
2130 | * Exec task has extra attribute "resultproperty" to get the return code
|
---|
2131 | into a property.
|
---|
2132 |
|
---|
2133 | * Exec task prints a message when a timed-out process is killed.
|
---|
2134 |
|
---|
2135 | * Added optional attributes - name, arch and version to the <os> task.
|
---|
2136 |
|
---|
2137 | * Unjar, Untar, Unwar and Unzip now support patternsets to
|
---|
2138 | select files from an archive for extraction. Filesets may be
|
---|
2139 | used to select archived files for unarchival.
|
---|
2140 |
|
---|
2141 | * Javac task allows debug levels to be specified. Debug levels
|
---|
2142 | will have an effect only when the modern compiler or the
|
---|
2143 | classic compiler (version 1.2 and higher) is used and debugging
|
---|
2144 | is enabled.
|
---|
2145 |
|
---|
2146 | * Added support for specifying CVS_RSH in the <cvs/> task
|
---|
2147 |
|
---|
2148 | * The attributes zipfile, jarfile, warfile and earfile (from the Zip,
|
---|
2149 | Jar, War and Ear tasks) have been deprecated and superseded by a
|
---|
2150 | new attribute "destfile".
|
---|
2151 |
|
---|
2152 | * Added new conditions <isset>, <checksum>, <http>, <socket>, <contains>,
|
---|
2153 | <filesmatch>.
|
---|
2154 |
|
---|
2155 | * <taskdef> and <typedef> will now emit a warning if a task/type of
|
---|
2156 | the given name already exists.
|
---|
2157 |
|
---|
2158 | * A new revision of VAJ tasks: The most important new feature
|
---|
2159 | is the ability to execute VAJ tasks from the command line by
|
---|
2160 | exploiting the Remote Tool Access feature of VAJ.
|
---|
2161 |
|
---|
2162 | * Improved support for Novell NetWare.
|
---|
2163 |
|
---|
2164 | * Added an optional encoding attribute to <fixcrlf>.
|
---|
2165 |
|
---|
2166 | * <apply> has a new attribute relative that allows users to pass the
|
---|
2167 | filenames as relative instead of absolute paths on the command line.
|
---|
2168 |
|
---|
2169 | * References can now be copied into the child build by <ant> and
|
---|
2170 | <antcall> using nested <reference> elements or the new inheritRefs
|
---|
2171 | attribute.
|
---|
2172 |
|
---|
2173 | * <fail> now supports builds to fail based on conditions via if and
|
---|
2174 | unless attributes.
|
---|
2175 |
|
---|
2176 | * Ant now comes with two new BuildLogger implementations - one that
|
---|
2177 | can send emails containing a log of the build process (MailLogger),
|
---|
2178 | and one that colorizes the output based on message levels, using
|
---|
2179 | ANSI color code escape sequences (AnsiColorLogger).
|
---|
2180 |
|
---|
2181 | * A "package" mapper type has been added to allow package directory
|
---|
2182 | names replaced with the dotted form.
|
---|
2183 |
|
---|
2184 | * You can now specify environment variables in the <java> and <junit> tasks
|
---|
2185 | if the fork attribute has been set to true.
|
---|
2186 |
|
---|
2187 | * -propertyfile command-line option has been added to load an entire
|
---|
2188 | property file just as -D properties are declared (as user properties).
|
---|
2189 | -D properties take precedence over -propertyfile specified ones.
|
---|
2190 |
|
---|
2191 | * You can now set an ANT_ARGS environment variable to hold arguments you
|
---|
2192 | always want passed to the 'ant' command -- for example, if you always
|
---|
2193 | want to use a different logger or the -find flag.
|
---|
2194 |
|
---|
2195 | * <tstamp> now supports a new "prefix" attribute to prefix properties set.
|
---|
2196 |
|
---|
2197 | * You can now specify the -sourcepath for <javac> explicitly.
|
---|
2198 |
|
---|
2199 | * <javac> now supports a new "listfiles" attribute to list the source
|
---|
2200 | files it's handing off to the compiler.
|
---|
2201 |
|
---|
2202 | * The compiler implementation for <javac> can now be chosen on a task by
|
---|
2203 | task basis. The new "compiler" attribute of <javac> can be used to override
|
---|
2204 | the value of the build.compiler property, if set.
|
---|
2205 |
|
---|
2206 | * <javac> has a new nested element, <compilerarg>, which allows you
|
---|
2207 | to specify additional args for the specific compiler you're using.
|
---|
2208 |
|
---|
2209 | * <javac>'s "source" attribute is now enabled for jikes as well.
|
---|
2210 |
|
---|
2211 | * <propertyfile>'s <entry> now has a 'unit' attribute to specify the
|
---|
2212 | increment/decrement unit on date operations.
|
---|
2213 |
|
---|
2214 | * <property> now supports a 'prefix' attribute when loading from a file
|
---|
2215 | or resource.
|
---|
2216 |
|
---|
2217 | * In Ant 1.4, a feature has been added to the <junit> task that would
|
---|
2218 | add ant.jar, optional.jar and junit.jar implicitly to the classpath -
|
---|
2219 | this feature can now be disabled by setting the new includeantruntime
|
---|
2220 | attribute to false.
|
---|
2221 |
|
---|
2222 | * <style> behaves differently from any other directory-based task, as it
|
---|
2223 | processes all files that it finds in included directories in
|
---|
2224 | addition to the files matched by your patterns. There is now a new
|
---|
2225 | attribute, 'scanincludeddirectories', to suppress this behavior.
|
---|
2226 |
|
---|
2227 | * <javadoc> now supports a <tag> nested element to provide the -tag option
|
---|
2228 | to the standard Java 1.4 doclet. The element is ignored when not running
|
---|
2229 | on Java 1.4.
|
---|
2230 |
|
---|
2231 | * <ftp> can now chmod files on a remote server that supports
|
---|
2232 | "site chmod", as well as set the umask before transferring files, if
|
---|
2233 | the server supports "site umask".
|
---|
2234 |
|
---|
2235 | * New <serverdeploy> "optional" task.
|
---|
2236 |
|
---|
2237 | * <patternset> now supports nested patternsets.
|
---|
2238 |
|
---|
2239 | * Perforce tasks now support a "failonerror" attribute (defaults to "true").
|
---|
2240 |
|
---|
2241 | * Open Source application server JOnAS support:
|
---|
2242 | EJB hot deploy and deploy with <serverdeploy> and <ejbjar>
|
---|
2243 |
|
---|
2244 | * Added new DirSet (<dirset>) datatype.
|
---|
2245 |
|
---|
2246 | * <path> now supports nested <dirset> and <filelist> elements.
|
---|
2247 |
|
---|
2248 | * <pathconvert> now supports nested <dirset> and <filelist> elements.
|
---|
2249 |
|
---|
2250 | * <pathconvert>'s "dirsep" and "pathsep" attributes now accept
|
---|
2251 | multi-character values.
|
---|
2252 |
|
---|
2253 | * <copy> task now has a 'failonerror' attribute to allow keep-going
|
---|
2254 | behaviour when the file to be copied is not found (defaults to "true").
|
---|
2255 |
|
---|
2256 | * <uptodate> now has a 'srcfile' attribute to allow specifying a
|
---|
2257 | full-path filename.
|
---|
2258 |
|
---|
2259 | * <exec>, <sql> and <java> now support append attributes to allow
|
---|
2260 | appending the output to an existing file.
|
---|
2261 |
|
---|
2262 | * <java> now supports a timeout attribute analog to <exec> - it is
|
---|
2263 | highly recommended to only use it together with fork="true".
|
---|
2264 |
|
---|
2265 | * <javadoc> now supports a source attribute to enable javadoc to
|
---|
2266 | handle assertions present in JDK 1.4 source code.
|
---|
2267 |
|
---|
2268 | * <replace> supports a new replacefilterfile attribute that
|
---|
2269 | automatically turns all properties of a given file into
|
---|
2270 | replacefilters.
|
---|
2271 |
|
---|
2272 | * An alias of <xslt> has been added to refer to the <style> task.
|
---|
2273 |
|
---|
2274 | * The compiler implementation for <rmic> can now be chosen on a task by
|
---|
2275 | task basis. The new "compiler" attribute of <rmic> can be used to override
|
---|
2276 | the value of the build.rmic property, if set.
|
---|
2277 |
|
---|
2278 | * <rmic> has a new nested element, <compilerarg>, which allows you
|
---|
2279 | to specify additional args for the specific compiler you're using.
|
---|
2280 |
|
---|
2281 | * org.apache.tools.ant.XmlLogger now is a BuildLogger, rather than just
|
---|
2282 | a BuildListener. It can operate in either mode successfully.
|
---|
2283 |
|
---|
2284 | * <junit> has a new attribute "showoutput". If set to true, output
|
---|
2285 | generated by tests will be sent to Ant's logging system as well as
|
---|
2286 | to the formatters (instead of sending it to the formatters
|
---|
2287 | exclusively).
|
---|
2288 |
|
---|
2289 | * Ant has now a pluggable way to prompt users for input, which is used
|
---|
2290 | by the new <input> task. IDE integrators can provide an
|
---|
2291 | implementation of the InputHandler interface to decouple Ant's input
|
---|
2292 | from the console. An implementation that gets its input from a file
|
---|
2293 | for unattended builds is part of Ant's distribution.
|
---|
2294 |
|
---|
2295 | For more details see docs/manual/inputhandler.html.
|
---|
2296 |
|
---|
2297 | * <patch> has a new attribute that selects the directory in which to
|
---|
2298 | run the command.
|
---|
2299 |
|
---|
2300 | * <javadoc> now supports two new nested elements, <fileset> and <packageset>.
|
---|
2301 |
|
---|
2302 |
|
---|
2303 | Changes from Ant 1.4 to Ant 1.4.1
|
---|
2304 | ===========================================
|
---|
2305 |
|
---|
2306 | Fixed bugs:
|
---|
2307 | -----------
|
---|
2308 |
|
---|
2309 | * <ant>'s antfile attribute will now also be considered an absolute path on
|
---|
2310 | Windows systems, if it starts with a \ and no drive specifier.
|
---|
2311 |
|
---|
2312 | * The fullpath attribute of <zipfileset> has been ignored if you used
|
---|
2313 | the src attribute at the same time.
|
---|
2314 |
|
---|
2315 | * The manifest file is now always placed as the second entry (after /META-INF)
|
---|
2316 | in generated jars. This allows the manifest to be read by JarInputStreams
|
---|
2317 |
|
---|
2318 | * Fixed bug in depend task which would fail with a NullPointerException if no
|
---|
2319 | dependency cache was specified.
|
---|
2320 |
|
---|
2321 | * sql task now handles REM statements correctly so that lines starying with rem
|
---|
2322 | but which are not comments are actually processed.
|
---|
2323 |
|
---|
2324 | * XMLLogger now uses the task's name rather than the classname
|
---|
2325 |
|
---|
2326 | * <mapper>s will now work as expected if the to pattern expands to an
|
---|
2327 | absolute pathname.
|
---|
2328 |
|
---|
2329 | * <javac> didn't ignore memory settings in non-fork mode
|
---|
2330 |
|
---|
2331 | * <cab> didn't split the options attribute into several command line
|
---|
2332 | arguments correctly.
|
---|
2333 |
|
---|
2334 | Other changes:
|
---|
2335 | --------------
|
---|
2336 |
|
---|
2337 | * New source attribute for <javac> to enable assertion in JDK 1.4
|
---|
2338 |
|
---|
2339 | * XmlLogger and <antstructure> now add an encoding declaration to the
|
---|
2340 | XML files they generate.
|
---|
2341 |
|
---|
2342 | * <fileset> has a new attribute "casesensitive" to make it match
|
---|
2343 | filenames in a case insensitive way (if you set it to false) - by
|
---|
2344 | default filesets remain case sensitive.
|
---|
2345 |
|
---|
2346 | Changes from Ant 1.3 to Ant 1.4
|
---|
2347 | ===========================================
|
---|
2348 |
|
---|
2349 | Changes that could break older environments:
|
---|
2350 | --------------------------------------------
|
---|
2351 | * JUnitReport now uses the xalan redirect extension for multi-output.
|
---|
2352 | With Xalan 1.2.2 it forces the use of bsf.jar in the classpath.
|
---|
2353 | (Available in the xalan distribution). It is recommended to switch
|
---|
2354 | to Xalan 2.x that do not need it.
|
---|
2355 |
|
---|
2356 | * Zip.setWhenempty() has changed its signature.
|
---|
2357 |
|
---|
2358 | * <rmic> is now implemented using a factory. This makes extending
|
---|
2359 | rmic to use a new compiler a lot easier but may break custom
|
---|
2360 | versions of this task that rely on the old implementation.
|
---|
2361 |
|
---|
2362 | * several Zip methods have changed their signature as we now use a Zip
|
---|
2363 | package of our own that handles Unix permissions for directories.
|
---|
2364 | Furthermore <zip> will now use the platform's default character
|
---|
2365 | encoding for filenames - this is consistent with the command line
|
---|
2366 | ZIP tools, but causes problems if you try to open them from within
|
---|
2367 | Java and your filenames contain non US-ASCII characters. Use the new
|
---|
2368 | encoding attribute of the task and set it to UTF8 to get the old
|
---|
2369 | behavior.
|
---|
2370 |
|
---|
2371 | * The <pvcs> task has been moved to a package of its own.
|
---|
2372 |
|
---|
2373 | * JUnitResultFormater has two additional methods that must be
|
---|
2374 | implemented by custom formatters.
|
---|
2375 |
|
---|
2376 | * Ant will no longer use the canonical version of a path internally -
|
---|
2377 | this may yield different results on filesystems that support
|
---|
2378 | symbolic links.
|
---|
2379 |
|
---|
2380 | * The output generated by the xml formatter for <junit> has changed
|
---|
2381 | again, it doesn't format the numeric value in the time attribute anymore.
|
---|
2382 |
|
---|
2383 | * Pattern matching rules have changes slightly, the pattern foo*
|
---|
2384 | doesn't match files contained in a directory named foo - use foo/*
|
---|
2385 | instead.
|
---|
2386 |
|
---|
2387 | * <fixcrlf> will not remove trailing whitespace at the end of lines anymore.
|
---|
2388 |
|
---|
2389 | * The Classloader usage has been changed for the taskdef, property, available
|
---|
2390 | and sql tasks so that it delegates to the parent classloader. This may cause
|
---|
2391 | ClassNotFoundExceptions to be thrown if a system class attempts to load a
|
---|
2392 | class in the taskdef's classpath (typically factory objects).
|
---|
2393 |
|
---|
2394 | * Ant now allows multithreading of tasks and the containment of tasks within
|
---|
2395 | other tasks. This can break customer listeners which do not expect messages
|
---|
2396 | from a task before the previous task has finished.
|
---|
2397 |
|
---|
2398 | * Ant now installs its own ouput stream into System.out to route output to the
|
---|
2399 | task currently executing on the current thread. This also means that all
|
---|
2400 | output is now routed as Ant message events. Customer listeners and loggers
|
---|
2401 | should not call System.out at any time. This has always been true but such
|
---|
2402 | usage now will cause problems due to possible recursion.
|
---|
2403 |
|
---|
2404 | * Invalid manifest files will now cause build failures in the <jar> task.
|
---|
2405 |
|
---|
2406 | * Ant Introspection now looks for methods with method names starting with
|
---|
2407 | addConfigured. When called these methods are passed an argument after it has
|
---|
2408 | been configured from the build file. Custom tasks supporting nested elements
|
---|
2409 | starting with the name configured will no longer function.
|
---|
2410 |
|
---|
2411 | * The environment variable JAVACMD that can be used to specify the
|
---|
2412 | java executable to Ant's wrapper scripts must not contain additional
|
---|
2413 | command line parameters any longer - please use the environment
|
---|
2414 | variable ANT_OPTS for such parameters now.
|
---|
2415 |
|
---|
2416 | * Ant's wrapper scripts now quote the CLASSPATH environment variable, thus
|
---|
2417 | supporting classpaths which refer to directories containing spaces. This means
|
---|
2418 | that the CLASSPATH environment variable cannot have quotes. Any quotes should
|
---|
2419 | be removed. This will not affect the operation of the CLASSPATH environment
|
---|
2420 | variable in other contexts.
|
---|
2421 |
|
---|
2422 | * A delete task like
|
---|
2423 | <delete includeEmptyFilesets="true">
|
---|
2424 | <fileset dir="somedir" />
|
---|
2425 | </delete>
|
---|
2426 | will now remove "somedir" as well, unless there are still files left
|
---|
2427 | in it (matched by the default excludes).
|
---|
2428 |
|
---|
2429 | * The copy task will now fail if the file to be copied is not found.
|
---|
2430 |
|
---|
2431 | * Ant properties defined in properties files now behave the same way as
|
---|
2432 | properties defined in the build file. In particular the $ character needs
|
---|
2433 | to be escaped in property values by doubling it to $$. So, to define a
|
---|
2434 | property with the value $hello, you need to define it in a properties file
|
---|
2435 | as
|
---|
2436 | test.prop=$$hello
|
---|
2437 | This was not the case in Ant 1.3
|
---|
2438 |
|
---|
2439 | Other changes:
|
---|
2440 | --------------
|
---|
2441 |
|
---|
2442 | * New tasks: ear, p4counter, record, cvspass, vsscheckin, vsscheckout,
|
---|
2443 | typedef, sleep, mimemail, set of tasks for Continuus/Synergy, dependset,
|
---|
2444 | condition, maudit, mmetrics, jpcoverage, jpcovreport, jpcovmerge
|
---|
2445 |
|
---|
2446 | * Ant now uses JAXP 1.1
|
---|
2447 |
|
---|
2448 | * rmic now supports Kaffe's and Weblogic's version of rmic.
|
---|
2449 |
|
---|
2450 | * new magic property build.rmic to chose the rmic implementation
|
---|
2451 |
|
---|
2452 | * <tar> will now add empty directories as well
|
---|
2453 |
|
---|
2454 | * you can now specify a description for <p4change>
|
---|
2455 |
|
---|
2456 | * <touch> can now work on <fileset>s
|
---|
2457 |
|
---|
2458 | * <uptodate> now supports a value attribute
|
---|
2459 |
|
---|
2460 | * <fail> supports nested text
|
---|
2461 |
|
---|
2462 | * <fixcrlf> won't override files that are already in the correct
|
---|
2463 | format.
|
---|
2464 |
|
---|
2465 | * <sql> now supports REM comments as well as // and --
|
---|
2466 |
|
---|
2467 | * <jar> now has a nested <metainf> element following the same idea as
|
---|
2468 | <war>'s <webinf>.
|
---|
2469 |
|
---|
2470 | * <pvcs> can now handle multiple projects.
|
---|
2471 |
|
---|
2472 | * <available> now has a "type" attribute you can use in conjunction
|
---|
2473 | with the "file" attribute to specify whether the "file" you're
|
---|
2474 | looking for is a file or a directory.
|
---|
2475 |
|
---|
2476 | * New <junit> formatter named "brief"
|
---|
2477 |
|
---|
2478 | * <ejbjar> changes
|
---|
2479 | * Add support for Borland Application Server to the <ejbjar> task using
|
---|
2480 | a <borland> nested element.
|
---|
2481 | * Add support for iPlanet Application Server to the <ejbjar> task. Also
|
---|
2482 | includes some iPlanet utility tasks
|
---|
2483 | * Add support for JBoss Application Server to the <ejbjar> task.
|
---|
2484 | * Add a naming attribute to control the naming scheme that
|
---|
2485 | ejbjar uses to name the generated EJB jars.
|
---|
2486 | * Weblogic element now sets the compiler class for EJB 2.0 beans
|
---|
2487 | * <dtd> elements can be specified at the <ejbjar> level for building generic
|
---|
2488 | beans
|
---|
2489 | * <dtd> elements can now be URLs
|
---|
2490 | * Allow the manifest to be specified for the generated jars
|
---|
2491 | * The weblogic element now supprts an attribte noEJBC to skip the processing
|
---|
2492 | of the jar by ejbc. The ejbc step will then occur at deployment
|
---|
2493 | * weblogic will tell ejbc to use Jikes compiler if build.compiler is set to
|
---|
2494 | jikes. It can be restored to the default, javac, operation if desired.
|
---|
2495 |
|
---|
2496 | * Allow the <sql> Delimiter to be set in the so that Oracle stored procs may be
|
---|
2497 | entered
|
---|
2498 |
|
---|
2499 | * <execon> and <apply> can now optionally skip empty filesets.
|
---|
2500 |
|
---|
2501 | * <javadoc> has a new useexternalfile attribute that makes it use a
|
---|
2502 | temporary file for sourcefile and package names - helps to defeat
|
---|
2503 | command line length limitations.
|
---|
2504 |
|
---|
2505 | * Data types like <path> can now be defined inside of <target>s
|
---|
2506 |
|
---|
2507 | * you can now specify a classpath for <style> - the XSLZ processor
|
---|
2508 | will be loaded from this path
|
---|
2509 |
|
---|
2510 | * added a force attribute to <style> to support dependencies that the
|
---|
2511 | task cannot determine itself (dependency on parameters, not file
|
---|
2512 | modification times for example)
|
---|
2513 |
|
---|
2514 | * added vmlauncher attribute to exec tasks. This defaults to true. If
|
---|
2515 | it is set to false, the VM's ability to launch commands in bypassed
|
---|
2516 | and the OS shell, either directly or through the auxillary antRun
|
---|
2517 | scripts is used.
|
---|
2518 |
|
---|
2519 | * regexp mapper now supports the java.util.regex package of JDK 1.4.
|
---|
2520 |
|
---|
2521 | * New filesonly attribute for <zip> and friends to suppress directory
|
---|
2522 | entries.
|
---|
2523 |
|
---|
2524 | * New update attribute for <zip> and friends - update an existing
|
---|
2525 | archive instead of creating a new one.
|
---|
2526 |
|
---|
2527 | * <apply> and <execon> have been merged into a single task.
|
---|
2528 |
|
---|
2529 | * added vssver.scc to the default excludes
|
---|
2530 |
|
---|
2531 | * <available> has a new filepath attribute/nested element that allows
|
---|
2532 | you top search for a file in a given path.
|
---|
2533 |
|
---|
2534 | * <junit> can now optionally set a property on test failure.
|
---|
2535 |
|
---|
2536 | * <taskdef> can now define several tasks at once, reading the
|
---|
2537 | name/classname pairs from a property file or resource.
|
---|
2538 |
|
---|
2539 | * <unzip/unjar/unwar> and <untar> now have an overwrite attribute that
|
---|
2540 | defaults to true. If set to false, files that are newer than the
|
---|
2541 | files in the archive will not be replaced.
|
---|
2542 |
|
---|
2543 | * <patternset> and <fileset> now support nested <in/excludesfile>
|
---|
2544 | elements - using these you can have more than one in/excludes file
|
---|
2545 | per <patternset>.
|
---|
2546 |
|
---|
2547 | * Three new supported compilers for javac: kjc for kopi, gcj for the
|
---|
2548 | gcc frontend and sj for Symantec's compiler.
|
---|
2549 | In addition extJavac or the new fork attribute can be
|
---|
2550 | used to run the JDK's javac in a JVM separate from Ant.
|
---|
2551 |
|
---|
2552 | * <fixrlf> can now with CR only line-ends and can use an arbitraty
|
---|
2553 | between 2 and 80.
|
---|
2554 |
|
---|
2555 | * The .NET tasks have been adapted to the beta2 release of the framework.
|
---|
2556 |
|
---|
2557 | * <move> will now try to rename() files before copying them byte by
|
---|
2558 | byte - only if filtering is of, of course.
|
---|
2559 |
|
---|
2560 | * <ant> and <antcall> tasks now support a new attribute inheritAll. When set to
|
---|
2561 | false, only user properties are passed through to the target Ant instance.
|
---|
2562 | This includes properties set on the command line and properties explicitly
|
---|
2563 | passed
|
---|
2564 |
|
---|
2565 | * <javadoc> now skips off line links if the package list cannot be found.
|
---|
2566 |
|
---|
2567 | * <wlrun> now allows the security policy file to exist outside the weblogic
|
---|
2568 | directory.
|
---|
2569 |
|
---|
2570 | * <java> task will set the Thread contextClassLoader under JDKs 1.2+ to the
|
---|
2571 | classloader for the class being executed.
|
---|
2572 |
|
---|
2573 | * Introduce the concept of a TaskContainer - a task or element which can contain
|
---|
2574 | Ant Tasks.
|
---|
2575 |
|
---|
2576 | * Add new tasks implementing the TaskContainer interface <parallel> and
|
---|
2577 | <sequential> which allow parallel execution of tasks to be specified.
|
---|
2578 |
|
---|
2579 | * <depend> task will now take into account dependencies on jar files and class
|
---|
2580 | files from a given classpath.
|
---|
2581 |
|
---|
2582 | * <jar> manifest entries may now be specified in the build file either
|
---|
2583 | completely or to be merged with a manifest file.
|
---|
2584 |
|
---|
2585 | * <tstamp> task custom formats now support locales.
|
---|
2586 |
|
---|
2587 | * Added a listner which will forward events to Log4J. The log4j configuration
|
---|
2588 | file should be in the directory from which Ant is run or passed as a system
|
---|
2589 | property using a JVM argument.
|
---|
2590 |
|
---|
2591 | * Introduced the concept of <filtersets> to allow for more control in which
|
---|
2592 | filters get applied in a <copy> or <move> operation.
|
---|
2593 |
|
---|
2594 | * Added nowarn attribute to javac and deprecated the Jikes-magic property
|
---|
2595 | build.compiler.warnings.
|
---|
2596 |
|
---|
2597 | * The <depend> task cache format has changed and all dependency information is
|
---|
2598 | now stored in a single file.
|
---|
2599 |
|
---|
2600 | Fixed bugs:
|
---|
2601 | -----------
|
---|
2602 |
|
---|
2603 | * Testcases have been made independent of current working directory.
|
---|
2604 |
|
---|
2605 | * Input ZIP-Files will be closed when using a <zipfileset>.
|
---|
2606 |
|
---|
2607 | * p4 tasks now don't fail if user, port or client have been omitted
|
---|
2608 | (and this is acceptable for the context of the command).
|
---|
2609 |
|
---|
2610 | * <javah>'s outputfile attribute will be resolved as relative to the
|
---|
2611 | projects basedir.
|
---|
2612 |
|
---|
2613 | * <antstructure> should create a valid DTD for propertyfile.operation.entry
|
---|
2614 | and omit tasks it fails to load.
|
---|
2615 |
|
---|
2616 | * won't try to pass a -bootclasspath flag to javac 1.1 anymore
|
---|
2617 |
|
---|
2618 | * <style>'s style attribute no handles absolute paths correctly.
|
---|
2619 |
|
---|
2620 | * <delete includeemptydirs="true"> now deletes more than just the leaf
|
---|
2621 | directories.
|
---|
2622 |
|
---|
2623 | * You can now specify a <fileset> for a directory that doesn't exist at
|
---|
2624 | declaration time but will created before the fileset gets used for the
|
---|
2625 | first time.
|
---|
2626 |
|
---|
2627 | * If the quiet attribute has been set, <delete> will handle <fileset>s
|
---|
2628 | with non-existing directories gracefully.
|
---|
2629 |
|
---|
2630 | * Output written by testcases will now be captured by the <junit> task
|
---|
2631 | and passed to the formatters.
|
---|
2632 |
|
---|
2633 | * Quote the -group parameter to Javadoc as per the specification
|
---|
2634 |
|
---|
2635 | * Initialise classes when loaded through the AntClassLoader - that is, run
|
---|
2636 | static initializers
|
---|
2637 |
|
---|
2638 | * Implement getResource() and getResources() in AntClassLoader
|
---|
2639 |
|
---|
2640 | * Create the <ejbjar> weblogic command line as a set of arguments rather than
|
---|
2641 | as a single line. Avoids problems with paths which contain spaces.
|
---|
2642 |
|
---|
2643 | * <ejbjar> now fails when the weblogic ejbc compiler reports an error.
|
---|
2644 |
|
---|
2645 | * Make the AntClassLoader load resources in the same order as it currently
|
---|
2646 | loads classes.
|
---|
2647 |
|
---|
2648 | * Handle classpaths with spaces
|
---|
2649 |
|
---|
2650 | * Make sure XSLT processors close their output files in <style>.
|
---|
2651 |
|
---|
2652 | * perform proper uptodate check in <rmic> when compiling for IIOP.
|
---|
2653 |
|
---|
2654 | * <jjtree>'s uptodate test works even if outputdirectory is not the
|
---|
2655 | parent dir of target
|
---|
2656 |
|
---|
2657 | * <copy> will remove target file (if it exists) before writing to it -
|
---|
2658 | this avoids problems with links on filesystems that support them.
|
---|
2659 |
|
---|
2660 | * <ftp> now properly recurses remote directories.
|
---|
2661 |
|
---|
2662 | * <ftp> closes remote connection when it's done.
|
---|
2663 |
|
---|
2664 | * <junit> tries to include all necessary classes for the task itself
|
---|
2665 | to the classpath when running in fork mode - doesn't work for JDK 1.1
|
---|
2666 |
|
---|
2667 | * <apply> and <execon> do now execute the command only once, if you
|
---|
2668 | specify the parallel attribute - instead of once per fileset.
|
---|
2669 |
|
---|
2670 | * directory based tasks and fileset could miss some included files in
|
---|
2671 | directories that have been excluded
|
---|
2672 |
|
---|
2673 | * <fixcrlf> failed for large files.
|
---|
2674 |
|
---|
2675 | * <move> removed files you tried to move to themselves.
|
---|
2676 |
|
---|
2677 | * <sql> task will not trty to print the result set unless the query succeeded.
|
---|
2678 |
|
---|
2679 | * Ant classloader will now ignore paths which are invalid relative to the
|
---|
2680 | project base
|
---|
2681 |
|
---|
2682 | * <ejbjar> weblogic elements check for jar file changes has been fixed.
|
---|
2683 | Previously some changes would not be included.
|
---|
2684 |
|
---|
2685 | * properties loaded from properties files are now resolved internally. This
|
---|
2686 | removes the spurious warnings about usage of properties which have not been
|
---|
2687 | set.
|
---|
2688 |
|
---|
2689 | * <jar> task and friends now process the JAR manifest to ensure it is valid.
|
---|
2690 |
|
---|
2691 | * The task finished event now includes any exception thrown by the task.
|
---|
2692 |
|
---|
2693 | * <java> task now supports a jvmVersion attribute so that if another JVM is
|
---|
2694 | being used, Ant can determine which options to use for features such as the
|
---|
2695 | VM memory limits
|
---|
2696 |
|
---|
2697 |
|
---|
2698 | Changes from Ant 1.2 to Ant 1.3
|
---|
2699 | ===========================================
|
---|
2700 |
|
---|
2701 | Changes that could break older environments:
|
---|
2702 | --------------------------------------------
|
---|
2703 |
|
---|
2704 | * Ant doesn't search for the buildfile anymore, unless you use the new
|
---|
2705 | -find argument.
|
---|
2706 |
|
---|
2707 | * <perforce> has been replaced by a number of new tasks.
|
---|
2708 |
|
---|
2709 | * <javac> is now implemented using a factory. This makes extending
|
---|
2710 | javac to use a new compiler a lot easier but may break custom
|
---|
2711 | versions of this task that rely on the old implementation.
|
---|
2712 |
|
---|
2713 | * The output generated by the xml formatter for <junit> has changed a
|
---|
2714 | little, it doesn't append " sec" in the time attribute anymore.
|
---|
2715 |
|
---|
2716 | Other changes:
|
---|
2717 | --------------
|
---|
2718 |
|
---|
2719 | * A GUI Frontend: Antidote. This is currently in development. At this
|
---|
2720 | time, this is not part of the Ant release, although the source is
|
---|
2721 | included if you are interested.
|
---|
2722 |
|
---|
2723 | * New tasks: stylebook, propertyfile, depend, antlr, telnet, csc,
|
---|
2724 | ilasm, apply, javah, several clearcase tasks, junitreport, sound
|
---|
2725 |
|
---|
2726 | * Added output attribute to <java>.
|
---|
2727 |
|
---|
2728 | * Added nested zipfileset element to <zip>
|
---|
2729 |
|
---|
2730 | * Changed <sql> so that printing is at the task level rather than
|
---|
2731 | the statement level.
|
---|
2732 |
|
---|
2733 | * javadoc task will pass -d flag to any doclet if the destDir attribute is
|
---|
2734 | given. If the doclet does not accept the -d flag then omit the destdir
|
---|
2735 | attribute.
|
---|
2736 |
|
---|
2737 | * <cab> can work on non-Windows platforms with the help of libcabinet.
|
---|
2738 | See http://trill.cis.fordham.edu/~barbacha/cabinet_library/.
|
---|
2739 |
|
---|
2740 | * <ftp> now supports passive mode.
|
---|
2741 |
|
---|
2742 | * New <mapper> data type that can be used to get influence on the
|
---|
2743 | target files for some tasks like <copy> or enable new types of tasks
|
---|
2744 | like <apply>.
|
---|
2745 |
|
---|
2746 | * <execon> provides more control over the command line now, the names
|
---|
2747 | of the source files are no longer required to be at the end of the
|
---|
2748 | command.
|
---|
2749 |
|
---|
2750 | * Style tasks will now support TraX compliant XSL processors if one is present
|
---|
2751 | in your classpath.
|
---|
2752 |
|
---|
2753 | * Added a failonerror to the javac task. If set to false, the build will
|
---|
2754 | continue even if there are compilation errors.
|
---|
2755 |
|
---|
2756 | * Added nested format elements to the tstamp task allowing additional time
|
---|
2757 | formats to be defined for arbitrary properties.
|
---|
2758 |
|
---|
2759 | * Added classpath attribute and nested classpath element to <property>
|
---|
2760 | to make the resource attribute more powerful.
|
---|
2761 |
|
---|
2762 | * ${} property expansion will now be performed on the patterns read
|
---|
2763 | from files specified as includesfile or excludesfile attributes.
|
---|
2764 |
|
---|
2765 | * The <tar> and <untar> tasks now support GNU format for handling paths
|
---|
2766 | which are greater than 100 characters in length. In addition the <tar>
|
---|
2767 | task now supports nested filesets through which the file permissions
|
---|
2768 | may be controlled.
|
---|
2769 |
|
---|
2770 | * wlrun, wlstop and ejbjar now support Weblogic 6.0
|
---|
2771 |
|
---|
2772 | * The MPasre task has been updated to work with MParse 2.0
|
---|
2773 |
|
---|
2774 | * The documentation has been significantly updated.
|
---|
2775 |
|
---|
2776 |
|
---|
2777 | Fixed bugs:
|
---|
2778 | -----------
|
---|
2779 |
|
---|
2780 | * <signjar> doesn't use deprectated methods anymore.
|
---|
2781 |
|
---|
2782 | * javadoc's failonerror attribute works again
|
---|
2783 |
|
---|
2784 | * javadoc's additionalparam attribute will now be split into separate
|
---|
2785 | parameters (on spaces) to allow for more than one parameter.
|
---|
2786 |
|
---|
2787 | * Changed <sql> task so that printing result sets works on Oracle
|
---|
2788 |
|
---|
2789 | * Changes to ddcreator and ejbc helper to respect the descriptor hierarchy
|
---|
2790 | keppgenerated in ejbc can now be turned off
|
---|
2791 |
|
---|
2792 | * ejbjar now correctly ignores <ejb-ref> elements in the deployment descriptor.
|
---|
2793 | CMP files are included by parsing the weblogic deployment descriptor rather
|
---|
2794 | than relying on the naming convention used in ant 1.2
|
---|
2795 |
|
---|
2796 | * ejbjar includes super classes and super interfaces into the generated ejb
|
---|
2797 | jar files. The <support> nested element allows support classes to be
|
---|
2798 | included in the EJB jar. The toplink element should now correctly locate
|
---|
2799 | the toplink descriptor.
|
---|
2800 |
|
---|
2801 | * <vssget> now correctly deals with spaces in arguments
|
---|
2802 |
|
---|
2803 | * <jar> fails early if a given manifest file doesn't exist
|
---|
2804 |
|
---|
2805 | * <rmic> doesn't search for the _Skel file anymore when stubversion is
|
---|
2806 | set to 1.2.
|
---|
2807 |
|
---|
2808 | * <rmic> uses the the same classpath to verify a class can be rmic'd
|
---|
2809 | as it passes to the compiler.
|
---|
2810 |
|
---|
2811 | * org.apache.tools.mail.MailMessage (and therefore <mail>) can now
|
---|
2812 | handle SMTP servers sending multi line responses.
|
---|
2813 |
|
---|
2814 | * nested <classpath> elements of <taskdef> now work for <taskdef>s not
|
---|
2815 | nested into <target> as well.
|
---|
2816 |
|
---|
2817 | * <property> and <available> will search for the resource "foo" instead
|
---|
2818 | of "/org/apache/tools/ant/taskdefs/foo" when given a relative resource
|
---|
2819 | name foo.
|
---|
2820 |
|
---|
2821 | * Handle build files in directories whose name contained a "#" character
|
---|
2822 |
|
---|
2823 | * <junit> can now log to files whose name contains a comma as well.
|
---|
2824 |
|
---|
2825 | * The AntClassLoader now refers to the loader which loaded it, any
|
---|
2826 | requests it does not handle itself. Previously these went to the
|
---|
2827 | primordial loader.
|
---|
2828 |
|
---|
2829 | Changes from Ant 1.1 to Ant 1.2
|
---|
2830 | ===============================
|
---|
2831 |
|
---|
2832 | Changes that could break older environments:
|
---|
2833 | --------------------------------------------
|
---|
2834 |
|
---|
2835 | * Semantics of <property> has changed again in the hope to be more
|
---|
2836 | intuitive. ${} expansion now happens at runtime and <property> tags
|
---|
2837 | living inside of targets only take effect if they are visited at
|
---|
2838 | runtime.
|
---|
2839 |
|
---|
2840 | As a side effect of this change, task's attributes get set at runtime
|
---|
2841 | not at parser time as well, which might change the results of
|
---|
2842 | <script>s or other custom tasks that reference other tasks by their id
|
---|
2843 | attribute.
|
---|
2844 |
|
---|
2845 | * copying of support files in <javac> has been removed - as well as
|
---|
2846 | the filtering attribute.
|
---|
2847 |
|
---|
2848 | * the <expand> and <keysubst> tasks have been removed.
|
---|
2849 |
|
---|
2850 | * the ignore and items attributes of directory based tasks have been removed.
|
---|
2851 |
|
---|
2852 | * the command line switches _not_ starting with - have been removed.
|
---|
2853 |
|
---|
2854 | * Path and EnumeratedAttribute have been moved from
|
---|
2855 | org.apache.tools.ant to org.apache.tools.ant.types.
|
---|
2856 |
|
---|
2857 | * the class attributes of <available>, <java>, <rmic> and <taskdef>
|
---|
2858 | have been removed.
|
---|
2859 |
|
---|
2860 | * the src attribute of <chmod> has been removed.
|
---|
2861 |
|
---|
2862 | * <patch> and <javadoc> have lost some of their attributes.
|
---|
2863 |
|
---|
2864 | * <java> and <cvs> have lost some undocumented attributes.
|
---|
2865 |
|
---|
2866 | * the Unix antRun script would search for command.sh in the directory
|
---|
2867 | it changed to and invoke this instead of command if present. This
|
---|
2868 | behavior has been dropped.
|
---|
2869 |
|
---|
2870 | * <ejbjar> task syntax has been changed significantly
|
---|
2871 |
|
---|
2872 | * <exec> is no longer implemented by org.apache.tool.ant.taskdefs.Exec.
|
---|
2873 | Custom tasks that rely on Project.createTask("exec") to return an
|
---|
2874 | instance of this class are going to fail.
|
---|
2875 |
|
---|
2876 | * nested <include> and <exclude> elements expect the value of their
|
---|
2877 | name attribute to be a single pattern, they don't accept multiple
|
---|
2878 | patterns anymore. Split them into multiple elements of the same type.
|
---|
2879 |
|
---|
2880 | * <delete dir="somedir" /> will now delete the directory itself as
|
---|
2881 | well as all included files. If you just want to clean out the
|
---|
2882 | directory and keep the empty one, use a nested fileset.
|
---|
2883 |
|
---|
2884 | Other changes:
|
---|
2885 | --------------
|
---|
2886 |
|
---|
2887 | * New tasks: antstructure, cab, execon, fail, ftp, genkey, jlink,
|
---|
2888 | junit, sql, javacc, jjtree, starteam, war, unwar, uptodate,
|
---|
2889 | native2ascii, copy, move, mparse.
|
---|
2890 |
|
---|
2891 | * copydir, copyfile, deltree and rename are now deprecated. They
|
---|
2892 | should be replaced with the new copy, delete and move tasks.
|
---|
2893 |
|
---|
2894 | * <java> uses a ClassLoader of its own in no-fork mode if a classpath is
|
---|
2895 | specified.
|
---|
2896 |
|
---|
2897 | * <style> will create the necessary target directories and reprocess
|
---|
2898 | all files if the stylesheet changes.
|
---|
2899 |
|
---|
2900 | * New data types fileset and patternset - expected to get a broader use.
|
---|
2901 | They, as well as PATH like structures, can now be defined on a global
|
---|
2902 | level and later be referenced by their id attribute.
|
---|
2903 |
|
---|
2904 | * You can specify environment variables to <exec>.
|
---|
2905 |
|
---|
2906 | * <get> can check whether a remote file is actually newer than a local
|
---|
2907 | copy before it starts a download (HTTP only).
|
---|
2908 |
|
---|
2909 | * Added a -logger option to allow the class which performs logging to be
|
---|
2910 | specified on the command line.
|
---|
2911 |
|
---|
2912 | * Added a -emacs option to tell the logger to leave out taskname adornments
|
---|
2913 | on log output.
|
---|
2914 |
|
---|
2915 | * <chmod> works on all files in parallel and supports multiple filesets.
|
---|
2916 |
|
---|
2917 | * <replace> can now use tokens and/or values that cross line boundaries.
|
---|
2918 |
|
---|
2919 | * build.compiler supports now jvc as well.
|
---|
2920 |
|
---|
2921 | * project specific help can now be obtained with the -projecthelp option.
|
---|
2922 |
|
---|
2923 | * Added a -debug option to make -verbose less verbose (and more useful)
|
---|
2924 |
|
---|
2925 | * Ant will now search for a file named build.xml in the parent directory
|
---|
2926 | and above (towards the root of the filesystem) if you didn't specify
|
---|
2927 | -buildfile and there is no build.xml in the current directory.
|
---|
2928 |
|
---|
2929 | * <echo> can now write to a file and accepts nested text.
|
---|
2930 |
|
---|
2931 | Fixed bugs:
|
---|
2932 | -----------
|
---|
2933 |
|
---|
2934 | * <chmod> didn't work when used as a directory based task.
|
---|
2935 |
|
---|
2936 | * Path, Available, Property didn't resolve relative filenames with
|
---|
2937 | respect to the Project's basedir.
|
---|
2938 |
|
---|
2939 | * Project didn't interpret the basedir attribute correctly in all
|
---|
2940 | cases.
|
---|
2941 |
|
---|
2942 | * Nested <src> in <javac> caused NullPointerException.
|
---|
2943 |
|
---|
2944 | * Corrupt Zip- and Jar-files ar now deleted if the task fails.
|
---|
2945 |
|
---|
2946 | * many more fixes we've forgotten to document here ...
|
---|
2947 |
|
---|
2948 | * The packagelistloc attribute of <javadoc>'s <link> child will be
|
---|
2949 | resolved as a file (i.e. it is either absolute or relative to
|
---|
2950 | basedir).
