hi!
I develop a new module, but did not want the source inside the opencms directory tree.
So I used the build-single.xml file with slight modifications as my build.xml.
My module needs some external jar files that are located in the
${module-name}/resources/system/modules/${module-name}/lib
directory (=${module.input.lib})
The compile target in the build-single.xml file collects all jar files in the
${module.input.libs} directory and concatenates them to a classpath.
The code used (lines 289-296) are:
<for param="archive">
<path>
<fileset dir="${module.input.lib}" includes="*.jar"/>
</path>
<sequential>
<var name="module.libs.path" value="${module.libs.path}:${module.input.lib}/@{archive}" />
</sequential>
</for>
The problem is that @{archive} already holds the path and therefore
${module.input.lib}/@{archive} has the path twice. The solution is simple:
<sequential>
<var name="module.libs.path" value="${module.libs.path}:@{archive}" />
</sequential>
Although my module is built a little different than the modules that come with opencms, the error
described above would also be a problem with opencms-modules. But as none of them seems to bring
additional libraries in the ${module.input.lib} path, no one noticed before :-)
my ant version is
"Apache Ant version 1.6.5 compiled on June 2 2005"
working on Linux, Kubuntu 5.10 (maybe this is linux/windows bug)
Thanks for the great work you all did on opencms! This is just my very small approach to
make it even better.
regards
Christof
