[opencms-dev] Compiling the OpenCms core

[jtelfer]

I downloaded the latest source distribution (6.2.0) a couple of days ago, and
tried to build it on Windows using the command line, and received the same
errors as those experienced by other posters to this thread (digester not
found).

While this does work, a small change to modules\build-simple should enable
this to work without any special Eclipse setup or command-line hackery
(please excuse the lack of a diff, I haven't checked out the CVS tree).

Change the taskdefs near the top of the file to:

<path id="taskpath">
	<pathelement location="${opencms.input.libs}/ant-contrib-1.0b1.jar"/>
	<pathelement location="${opencms.input.libs}/ant-opencms-1.1.jar"/>
	<pathelement location="${opencms.input.libs}/commons-beanutils-1.7.0.jar"/>
	<pathelement location="${opencms.input.libs}/commons-digester-1.7.jar"/>
	<pathelement location="${opencms.input.libs}/commons-collections-3.1.jar"/>
	<pathelement location="${opencms.input.libs}/commons-logging-1.0.4.jar"/>
</path>

<taskdef resource="net/sf/antcontrib/antlib.xml" loaderref="contrib">
	<classpath refid="taskpath"/>
</taskdef>

<taskdef resource="org/opencms/util/ant/taskdefs.properties"
loaderref="opencms">
	<classpath refid="taskpath"/>
</taskdef>


Ant's capabilityto include a classpath in taskdef directives has been around
for a while now, so it should be reasonable to expect that this will work.
There may be a better place to put this though to avoid redefining the task
over and over, I'm new to OpenCMS though.

HTH,
James Telfer
