1 | Changes from Ant 1.9.1 TO 1.9.2
|
---|
2 | ===================================
|
---|
3 |
|
---|
4 | Fixed bugs:
|
---|
5 | -----------
|
---|
6 |
|
---|
7 | * Parsing of zip64 extra fields has become more lenient in order to
|
---|
8 | be able to read archives created by DotNetZip and maybe other
|
---|
9 | archivers as well.
|
---|
10 |
|
---|
11 | * TarInputStream should now properly read GNU longlink entries' names.
|
---|
12 | Bugzilla Report 55040.
|
---|
13 |
|
---|
14 | * <java> and <exec> used to be too restrictive when evaluating
|
---|
15 | whether a given set of options is compatible with spawning the new
|
---|
16 | process.
|
---|
17 | Bugzilla Report 55112.
|
---|
18 |
|
---|
19 | Other changes:
|
---|
20 | --------------
|
---|
21 |
|
---|
22 | * <javadoc> will now post-process the generated in order to mitigate
|
---|
23 | the frame injection attack possible in javadocs generated by Oracle
|
---|
24 | JDKs prior to Java7 Update 25. The vulnerability is known as
|
---|
25 | CVE-2013-1571.
|
---|
26 | There is an option to turn off the post-processing but it is only
|
---|
27 | recommended you do so if all your builds use a JDK that's not
|
---|
28 | vulnerable.
|
---|
29 | Bugzilla Report 55132.
|
---|
30 |
|
---|
31 | Changes from Ant 1.9.0 TO Ant 1.9.1
|
---|
32 | ===================================
|
---|
33 |
|
---|
34 | Changes that could break older environments:
|
---|
35 | -------------------------------------------
|
---|
36 |
|
---|
37 | * Users who have their own ProjectHelper implementation will need to change it because the import and include tasks
|
---|
38 | will now default the targetPrefix to ProjectHelper.USE_PROJECT_NAME_AS_TARGET_PREFIX.
|
---|
39 | Users using the default ProjectHelper2 with ant need not worry about this change done to fix Bugzilla Report 54940.
|
---|
40 |
|
---|
41 |
|
---|
42 | Fixed bugs:
|
---|
43 | -----------
|
---|
44 |
|
---|
45 | * Corrected XSLTC error in <junitreport>.
|
---|
46 | Bugzilla Report 54641.
|
---|
47 |
|
---|
48 | * Provide more control over Zip64 extensions created by <zip> and
|
---|
49 | related tasks. In particular no Zip64 extensions will be used at
|
---|
50 | all by the <jar> task family by default - this is required for jars
|
---|
51 | to be readably by Java5.
|
---|
52 | Bugzilla Report 54762.
|
---|
53 |
|
---|
54 | * Fixed loading of external dependencies in JUnit task.
|
---|
55 | Bugzilla Report 54835.
|
---|
56 |
|
---|
57 | * Target rewriting for nested "include" only works when "as" is specified.
|
---|
58 | See also "Changes that could break older environments"
|
---|
59 | Bugzilla Report 54940.
|
---|
60 |
|
---|
61 |
|
---|
62 | Other changes:
|
---|
63 | --------------
|
---|
64 |
|
---|
65 | * strict attribute added to <signjar>.
|
---|
66 | Bugzilla Report 54889.
|
---|
67 |
|
---|
68 | * simplifying Execute.getEnvironmentVariables since we are only running on Java 1.5 or higher now
|
---|
69 |
|
---|
70 | * Added conditional attributes.
|
---|
71 | Bugzilla Report 43362
|
---|
72 |
|
---|
73 | * Recommending to upgrade jsch to 0.1.50, particularly if you are using Java 1.7.
|
---|
74 | jsch is the library behind the sshexec and scp Ant tasks.
|
---|
75 | Versions of jsch older than 0.1.50 fail randomly under Java 1.7 with an error message "verify: false"
|
---|
76 |
|

77 | Changes from Ant 1.8.4 TO Ant 1.9.0
|
---|
78 | ===================================
|
---|
79 |
|
---|
80 | Changes that could break older environments:
|
---|
81 | -------------------------------------------
|
---|
82 |
|
---|
83 | * Ant now requires at least Java 1.5 to compile and to run
|
---|
84 |
|
---|
85 | * FixCRLF used to treat the EOL value ASIS to convert to the system property
|
---|
86 | line.separator. Specified was that ASIS would leave the EOL characters alone,
|
---|
87 | the task now really leaves the EOL characters alone. This also implies that
|
---|
88 | EOL ASIS will not insert a newline even if fixlast is set to true.
|
---|
89 | Bugzilla report 53036
|
---|
90 |
|
---|
91 | * The CommandLauncher hierarchy that used to be a set of inner
|
---|
92 | classes of Execute has been extracted to the
|
---|
93 | org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.launcher package.
|
---|
94 |
|
---|
95 | * Any FileResource whose represented File has a parent also has a basedir.
|
---|
96 |
|
---|
97 | * Removing the Perforce Ant tasks replaced by tasks supplied by Perforce Inc.
|
---|
98 |
|
---|
99 | * Setting the default encoding of StringResource to UTF-8 instead of null
|
---|
100 |
|
---|
101 | * Upgrade JUnit 4 to JUnit 4.11
|
---|
102 |
|
---|
103 | Fixed bugs:
|
---|
104 | -----------
|
---|
105 |
|
---|
106 | * Made VectorSet faster.
|
---|
107 | Bugzilla Report 53622.
|
---|
108 |
|
---|
109 | * Incorrect URLs in Ant child POMs.
|
---|
110 | Bugzilla Report 53617.
|
---|
111 |
|
---|
112 | * Subclasses of JUnitTask did not correctly find junit.jar.
|
---|
113 | Bugzilla Report 53571.
|
---|
114 |
|
---|
115 | * External XML catalog resolver failed to use project basedir when given an
|
---|
116 | unmentioned relative path like the internal resolver does.
|
---|
117 | Bugzilla Report 52754.
|
---|
118 |
|
---|
119 | * Fixed some potential stream leaks.
|
---|
120 | Bugzilla Reports 52738, 52740, 52742, 52743.

---|
125 | * Unable to override system properties. It was not possible not to override
|
---|
126 | system properties from the command line (or from a property file).
|
---|
127 | Bugzilla Report 51792
|
---|
128 |
|
---|
129 | * <javac> by default fails when run on JDK 8.
|
---|
130 | Bugzilla Report 53347.
|
---|
131 |
|
---|
132 | * ExtensionPoint doesn't work with nested import/include

|
---|
134 |
|
---|
135 | * <packagemapper> failed to strip the non-matched parts with
|
---|
136 | handledirsep="true".
|
---|
137 | Bugzilla Report 53399.
|
---|
138 |
|
---|
139 | * <expandproperties> filter caused a NullPointerException when input
|
---|
140 | was empty.
|
---|
141 | Bugzilla Report 53626.
|
---|
142 |
|
---|
143 | * <get> now supports HTTP redirects using status code 307.
|
---|
144 | Bugzilla Report 54374.
|

146 | * ssh tasks prompt for kerberos username/password under Java 7
|
---|
147 | Bugzilla Report 53437.
|
---|
148 |
|
---|
149 | * Zip task on <mappedresources> that excludes certain files by way of the mapper resulted in a NullPointerException
|
---|
150 | Bugzilla Report 54026
|
---|
151 |
|
---|
152 | * The ant launcher script should properly detect JAVA_HOME on
|
---|
153 | MacOS X 10.7
|
---|
154 | Bugzilla Report 52632
|
---|
155 |
|
---|
156 | * Depend task does not handle invokeDynamic constant pool entries - java.lang.ClassFormatError: Invalid Constant Pool entry Type 18
|
---|
157 | Bugzilla Report 54090
|
---|
158 |
|
---|
159 | * Base64Converter not properly handling bytes with MSB set (not masking byte to int conversion)
|
---|
160 | Bugzilla Report 54460
|
---|
161 |
|
---|
162 | * The size resource comparator would return wrong results if file
|
---|
163 | sizes differed by more than 2 GB.
|
---|
164 | Bugzilla Report 54623
|
---|
165 |

|
---|
168 | Bugzilla Report 54606
|
---|

|
---|
171 | Bugzilla Report 43969
|
---|
172 |
|
---|
173 | Other changes:
|
---|
174 | --------------
|
---|
175 |
|
---|
176 | * merged the ZIP package from Commons Compress, it can now read
|
---|
177 | archives using Zip64 extensions (files and archives bigger that 4GB
|
---|
178 | and with more that 64k entries).
|
---|
179 |
|
---|
180 | * a new task <commandlauncher> can be used to configure the
|
---|
181 | CommandLauncher used by Ant when forking external programs or new
|
---|
182 | Java VMs.
|
---|
183 | Bugzilla Report 52706.
|
---|
184 |
|
---|
185 | * merged the TAR package from Commons Compress, it can now read
|
---|
186 | archives using POSIX extension headers and STAR extensions.
|
---|
187 |
|
---|
188 | * merged the BZIP2 package from Commons Compress, it can now
|
---|
189 | optionally read files that contain multiple streams properly.
|
---|
190 |
|
---|
191 | * <bunzip2> will now properly expand files created by pbzip2 and
|
---|
192 | similar tools that create files with multiple bzip2 streams.
|
---|
193 |
|
---|
194 | * <tar> now supports a new "posix" option for longfile-mode which
|
---|
195 | will make it create PAX extension headers for long file names. PAX
|
---|
196 | extension headers are supported by all modern implementations of
|
---|
197 | tar including GNU tar.
|
---|
198 | This option should now be used in preference to "warn" or "gnu" as
|
---|
199 | it is more portable. For backwards compatibility reasons "warn"
|
---|
200 | will still create "gnu" extensions rather than "posix" extensions.
|
---|
201 |
|
---|
202 | * The ProjectHelper class now exposes a method to be used by third party
|
---|
203 | implementations to properly resolve the binding between target extensions
|
---|
204 | and extension points.
|
---|
205 | Bugzilla Report 53549.
|
---|
206 |
|
---|
207 | * Make extension point bindable to imported prefixed targets
|
---|
208 | Bugzilla Report 53550.
|
---|
209 |
|
---|
210 | * Add the possibility to register a custom command line argument processor.
|
---|
211 | See org.apache.tools.ant.ArgumentProcessor and manual/argumentprocessor.html
|
---|
212 |
|
---|
213 | * add the possibility to suppress stdout in the sshexec task.
|
---|
214 | Bugzilla Report 50270.
|
---|
215 |
|
---|
216 | * add an encoding attribute to the contains selector.
|
---|
217 | This will be useful to use the contains selector if the encoding of the VM is different from the encoding
|
---|
218 | of the files being selected.
|
---|
219 |
|
---|
220 | * support for GNU Classpath.
|
---|
221 | Bugzilla report 54760.

|
---|
224 | ===================================
|

225 |
|
---|
226 | Fixed bugs:
|
---|
227 | -----------
|
---|
228 |
|
---|
229 | * Ported libbzip2's fallback sort algorithm to CBZip2OutputStream to
|
---|
230 | speed up compression in certain edge cases. Merge from Commons
|
---|
231 | Compress.
|
---|
232 |
|
---|
233 | Using specially crafted inputs this can be used as a denial of
|
---|
234 | service attack.

---|
240 | Changes that could break older environments:
|
---|
241 | -------------------------------------------
|
---|
242 |
|
---|
243 | * The Enumeration returned by AntClassLoader#getResources used to
|
---|
244 | return null in nextElement after hasNextElement would return false.
|
---|
245 | It has been changed to throw a NoSuchElementException instead so
|
---|
246 | that it now adheres to the contract of java.util.Enumeration.
|
---|
247 | Bugzilla Report 51579.
|
---|
248 |
|
---|
249 | Fixed bugs:
|

250 | -----------
|
---|
251 |
|
---|
252 | * Removed buggy duplicate JAR list in RPM mode.
|
---|
253 | Bugzilla Report 52556.
|
---|
254 |
|

|
---|
276 | Bugzilla Report 50816.
|
---|
277 |
|
---|
278 | * <splash>'s proxy handling has been delegated to <setproxy>
|
---|
279 | internally so the two tasks are consistent. <splash>'s way of not
|
---|
280 | setting a proxy caused problems with other Java libraries.
|
---|
281 | Bugzilla Report 50888.
|
---|
282 |
|
---|
283 | * Include task breaks dependencies or extension-points for multiple
|
---|
284 | files.
|
---|
285 | Bugzilla Report 50866.
|
---|
286 |

289 |
|
---|
290 | * FileResource specified using basedir/name attributes was non-functional.
|
---|
291 |
|
---|
292 | * Resource collection implementation of mapped PropertySet returned
|
---|
293 | unusable resources.
|
---|
294 |
|
---|
295 | * The hasmethod condition failed with a NullPointerException when
|
---|
296 | ignoresystemclasses is true and Ant tried to load a "restricted
|
---|
297 | class" - i.e. a class that the Java VM will only accept when loaded
|
---|
298 | via the bootclassloader (a java.* class).
|
---|
299 | It will now fail with a more useful error message.
|
---|
300 | Bugzilla Report 51035.
|
---|
301 |
|
---|

---|
310 | error output stream some "Pipe broken" errors.
|
---|
311 | Bugzilla Report 48789.
|
---|
312 |
|
---|
313 | * ZipFile failed to clean up some resources which could lead to
|
---|
314 | OutOfMemoryException while unzipping large archives.
|
---|
315 | A similar problem in ZipArchiveOutputStream has been fixed as well.
|
---|
316 | Bugzilla Report 42696.
|
---|
317 |
|
---|
318 | * quiet attribute added to the copy and move tasks, to be used together
|
---|
319 | with failonerror=false, so warnings won't get logged
|
---|
320 | Bugzilla Report 48789.
|
---|
321 |
|
---|
322 | * System.in was closed and not readable anymore by the DefaultInputHandler

323 | when Ant is used via its Java API.
|
---|
324 | Bugzilla Report 51161
|
---|
325 |
|
---|
326 | * <sync> only supported a single non-fileset resource collection even
|
---|
327 | though the manual said it could be multiple.
|
---|
328 |
|
---|
329 | * <sync> didn't work properly when working on resource collections.
|
---|
330 | Bugzilla Report 51462.
|
---|
331 |
|

|
---|
333 | that was invoked by multiple targets from the command line.
|
---|
334 | Bugzilla Report 50894.
|
---|
335 |
|
---|
336 | * The ZipFile class could read past the start of the file if the
|
---|
337 | given file is not a ZIP archive and it is smaller than the size of
|
---|
338 | a ZIP "end of central directory record".
|
---|
339 |
|
---|
340 | * <javac> would create the empty package-info.class file in the wrong
|
---|
341 | directory if no destdir was specified. Note it may still pick the
|
---|
342 | wrong directory if you specify more than one source directory but
|
---|
343 | no destDir. It is highly recommended that you always explicitly
|
---|
344 | specify the destDir attribute.
|
---|
345 | Bugzilla Report 51947.
|
---|
346 |
|

---|
355 | quoted.
|
---|
356 | Bugzilla Report 31667.
|
---|
357 |
|
---|
358 | * ZipFile didn't work properly for archives using unicode extra
|
---|
359 | fields rather than UTF-8 filenames and the EFS-Flag.
|
---|
360 |
|
---|
361 | * Access to DirectoryScanner's default excludes wasn't synchronized.

429 | Changes from Ant 1.8.1 TO Ant 1.8.2
|
---|
430 | ===================================
|
---|
431 |
|
---|
432 | Changes that could break older environments:
|
---|
433 | -------------------------------------------
|
---|
434 |
|
---|
435 | * Prior to Ant 1.8.0 the <copy> task and several other tasks would
|
---|
436 | overwrite read-only destination files. Starting with 1.8.0 they
|
---|
437 | would only do so under special circumstances. Ant 1.8.2 now
|
---|
438 | consistently won't replace a read-only file by default. The same is
|
---|
439 | true for a number of other tasks.
|
---|
440 | The <copy>, <move> and <echo> tasks now have a new force attribute
|
---|
441 | and <concat> has a new forceReadonly attribute that can be used to
|
---|
442 | make the task overwrite read-only destinations.
|
---|
443 | Bugzilla Report 49261.
|
---|
444 |
|
---|
445 | * Removed ant-nodeps.jar; it is now merged into ant.jar.
|
---|
446 |
|
---|
447 | * DOMElementWriter#encode used to employ special code before encoding
|
---|
448 | ampersands so that { remained { rather than being turned
|
---|
449 | into &#123;. This is no longer the case, ampersands will now
|
---|
450 | be encoded unconditionally.
|
---|
451 | Also DOMElementWriter#encodeData will treat CDATA sections containing a
|
---|
452 | literal "]]>" sequence different now - it will split the CDATA
|
---|
453 | section between the second "]" and ">" and create two sections.
|
---|
454 | This affects <echoxml> task as well as the XML logger or JUnit
|
---|
455 | formatter where ampersands will now always get encoded.
|
---|
456 | In addition DOMElementWriter will now replace the characters \t, \r
|
---|
457 | and \n in attribute values by entity references.
|
---|
458 | Bugzilla Report 49404.
|
---|
459 |
|
---|
460 | * The list elements returned by ProjectHelper#getExtensionStack are
|
---|
461 | now String arrays of length 3 rather than 2 in order to support the
|
---|
462 | onMissingExtensionPoint attribute.
|
---|
463 | Bugzilla Report 49473.
|
---|
464 |
|
---|
465 | * When using <property file="..." prefix="..."/> properties defined
|
---|
466 | inside the same file will only get used in expansions if the ${}
|
---|
467 | reference uses the same prefix. This is different from Ant 1.8.1
|
---|
468 | but is the same behavior Ant 1.8.0 and earlier exhibited.
|
---|
469 | A new attribute prefixValues can be used to re-enable the behavior
|
---|
470 | of Ant 1.8.1.
|
---|
471 | Bugzilla Report 49373.
|
---|
472 |
|
---|
473 | * The files and directories used by Git, Mercurial and Bazaar to
|
---|
474 | store their information are now excluded by the defaultexcludes.
|
---|
475 | Bugzilla Report 49624.
|
---|
476 |
|
---|
477 | * The <junit> task no longer generates TestListener events - which
|
---|
478 | have been introduced in ant 1.7.0 - by default. The task has a new
|
---|
479 | attribute enableTestListenerEvents and a new "magic" property
|
---|
480 | ant.junit.enabletestlistenerevents has been added that can be used
|
---|
481 | to reinstate the old behavior.
|
---|
482 |
|
---|
483 | Fixed bugs:
|
---|
484 | -----------
|
---|
485 |
|
---|
486 | * hostinfo now prefers addresses with a hostname over addresses without
|
---|
487 | a hostname, provided the addresses have the same scope.
|
---|
488 | For local lookup, no IP address will be put in NAME / DOMAIN anymore.
|
---|
489 | For remote lookup, if a host name was provided and only an IP address is
|
---|
490 | found, the IP address will no longer overwrite the host name provided to the
|
---|
491 | task.
|
---|
492 | Bugzilla Report 49513
|
---|
493 |
|
---|
494 | * mmap-based file copy problems under JDK 1.4 on Linux.
|
---|
495 | Bugzilla Report 49430.
|
---|
496 |
|
---|
497 | * The Sun JVM tries to mmap the entire file during a copy.
|
---|
498 | For large files this is not feasible.
|
---|
499 | We now explicitly request to copy at most 16 MiB per request.
|
---|
500 | Bugzilla Report 49326.
|
---|
501 |
|
---|
502 | * DemuxInputStream.read() should return unsigned values
|
---|
503 | Bugzilla Report 49279.
|
---|
504 |
|
---|
505 | * The MIME mailer ignored the port parameter when using SSL.
|
---|
506 | Bugzilla Report 49267.
|
---|
507 |
|
---|
508 | * <xslt> ignored the classpath when using the default TraX processor.
|
---|
509 | Bugzilla Report 49271.
|
---|
510 |
|
---|
511 | * <checksum>'s totalproperty only worked reliably if the same file
|
---|
512 | name didn't occur inside more than one directory.
|
---|
513 | Bugzilla Report 36748.
|
---|
514 |
|
---|
515 | * <ftp> could fail to download files from remote subdirectories under
|
---|
516 | certain circumstances.
|
---|
517 | Bugzilla Report 49296.
|
---|
518 |
|
---|
519 | * <junit> will now produce better diagnostics when it fails to delete
|
---|
520 | a temporary file.
|
---|
521 | Bugzilla Report 49419.
|
---|
522 |
|
---|
523 | * Ant would often scan directories even though there were known to
|
---|
524 | only hold excluded files when evaluating filesets. This never
|
---|
525 | resulted in wrong results but degraded performance of the scan
|
---|
526 | itself.
|
---|
527 | Bugzilla Report 49420.
|
---|
528 |
|
---|
529 | * <javac> failed for long command lines on OS/2.
|
---|
530 | Bugzilla Report 49425.
|
---|
531 |
|
---|
532 | * <junitreport> did not handle encodings well for stdout/stderr.
|
---|
533 | Bugzilla Report 49418.
|
---|
534 |
|
---|
535 | * <junit> could issue a warning about multiple versions of Ant on the
|
---|
536 | CLASSPATH if two CLASSPATH entries differed in case on a
|
---|
537 | case-insensitive file system.
|
---|
538 | Bugzilla Report 49041.
|
---|
539 |
|
---|
540 | * The <restrict> resource collection was checking every resource even if
|
---|
541 | we actually just want the first one, like in the example of use of
|
---|
542 | resourcelist in the documentation (getting the first available resource
|
---|
543 | from a mirror list).
|
---|
544 |
|
---|
545 | * A race condition could lead to build failures if multiple <mkdir>
|
---|
546 | tasks were trying to create the same directory.
|
---|
547 | Bugzilla Report 49572.
|
---|
548 |
|
---|
549 | * the toString() method of the Resources class - and thus any
|
---|
550 | ${toString:} expansion of a reference to a <resources> element -
|
---|
551 | didn't iterate over its nested elements if it hadn't done so prior
|
---|
552 | to the toString invocation already.
|
---|
553 | Bugzilla Report 49588.
|
---|
554 |
|
---|
555 | * <apply> in parallel mode didn't work together with a nested
|
---|
556 | <redirector> if maxparallel was <= 0 (the default) or no source
|
---|
557 | files matched.
|
---|
558 | Bugzilla Report 49594.
|
---|
559 |
|
---|
560 | * <jar filesetmanifest="merge"> didn't work for manifests added via
|
---|
561 | <zipfileset>s that used the prefix or fullpath attributes.
|
---|
562 | Bugzilla Report 49605.
|
---|
563 |
|
---|
564 | * <tempfile createfile="true"> would cause an error unless the prefix
|
---|
565 | attribute has been specified.
|
---|
566 | Bugzilla Report 49755.
|
---|
567 |
|
---|
568 | * If forked, after finished <java> was still reading the input stream
|
---|
569 | for a bunch of characters, then stealing them from a following <input>.
|
---|
570 | Bugzilla Report 49119.
|
---|
571 |
|
---|
572 | * Ant could be leaking threads for each forked process (started by
|
---|
573 | <exec>, <apply>, <java> or similar tasks) that didn't receive input
|
---|
574 | from a resource or string explicitly.
|
---|
575 | Bugzilla Report 49587.
|
---|
576 |
|
---|
577 | * Project#setDefault threw an exception when null was passed in as
|
---|
578 | argument, even though the Javadoc says null is a valid value.
|
---|
579 | Bugzilla Report 49803.
|
---|
580 |
|
---|
581 | * runant.py would swallow the first argument if CLASSPATH wasn't set.
|
---|
582 | Bugzilla Report 49963.
|
---|
583 |
|
---|
584 | * <taskdef> failed to load resources from jar files contained in a
|
---|
585 | directory that has a "!" in its name.
|
---|
586 | Bugzilla Report 50007.
|
---|
587 |
|
---|
588 | * ant.bat exit strategy improvements and issues
|
---|
589 | make the exit codes work in environments where 4NT or MKS are installed
|
---|
590 | Bugzilla Report 41039.
|
---|
591 |
|
---|
592 | * <signjar> would fail if used via its Java API and the File passed
|
---|
593 | into the setJar method was not "normalized" (i.e. contained ".."
|
---|
594 | segments).
|
---|
595 | Bugzilla Report 50081.
|
---|
596 |
|
---|
597 | * <delete> ignored <fileset>'s errorOnMissingDir attribute
|
---|
598 | Bugzilla Report 50124.
|
---|
599 |
|
---|
600 | * <symlink> failed to close files when reading a list of symbolic
|
---|
601 | links from a properties file.
|
---|
602 | Bugzilla Report 50136.
|
---|
603 |
|
---|
604 | * <parallel> could allow tasks to start executing even if a task
|
---|
605 | scheduled to run before them timed out.
|
---|
606 | Bugzilla Report 49527.
|
---|
607 |
|
---|
608 | * If a <junit> batch with multiple tests times out Ant logs a message
|
---|
609 | about a test named Batch-With-Multiple-Tests since 1.8.0 but the
|
---|
610 | logic that determined the Java package of this pseudo-test has been
|
---|
611 | wrong.
|
---|
612 | Bugzilla Report 45227.
|
---|
613 |
|
---|
614 | * <propertyfile> didn't preserve the original linefeed style when
|
---|
615 | updating a file.
|
---|
616 | Bugzilla Report 50049.
|
---|
617 |
|
---|
618 | * <zip>'s whenEmpty behavior never consulted the non-fileset
|
---|
619 | resources so the task could fail even though resources have been
|
---|
620 | provided using non-fileset resource collections.
|
---|
621 | Bugzilla Issue 50115.
|
---|
622 |
|
---|
623 | * ftp chmod could throw a NPE.
|
---|
624 | Bugzilla report 50217.
|
---|
625 |
|
---|
626 | * The project help (-p option in the command line) will now print
|
---|
627 | the dependencies of the targets in debug mode (-d on the command
|
---|
628 | line)
|
---|
629 |
|
---|
630 | Other changes:
|
---|
631 | --------------
|
---|
632 |
|
---|
633 | * <concat>'s force attribute has been deprecated in favor of a new
|
---|
634 | overwrite attribute that is consistent with <copy>'s attribute
|
---|
635 | names.
|
---|
636 |
|
---|
637 | * You can now specify a list of methods to run in a JUnit test case.
|
---|
638 | Bugzilla Report 34748.
|
---|
639 |
|
---|
640 | * properties in files read because of the -propertyfile command line
|
---|
641 | option will now get resolved against other properties that are
|
---|
642 | defined before the project starts executing (those from the same or
|
---|
643 | earlier -propertfiles or defined via the -D option).
|
---|
644 | Bugzilla Report 18732.
|
---|
645 |
|
---|
646 | * <pathelement>s can now contain wildcards in order to use wildcard
|
---|
647 | CLASSPATH entries introduced with Java6.
|
---|
648 | The wildcards are not expanded or even evaluated by Ant and will be
|
---|
649 | used literally. The resulting path may be unusable as a CLASSPATH
|
---|
650 | for Java versions prior to Java6 and likely doesn't mean anything
|
---|
651 | when used in any other way than a CLASSPATH for a forked Java VM.
|
---|
652 | Bugzilla Report 46842.
|
---|
653 |
|
---|
654 | * A new attribute allows targets to deal with nonexistent extension
|
---|
655 | points, i.e. they can extend an extension-point if it has been
|
---|
656 | defined or silently work as plain targets if it hasn't. This is
|
---|
657 | useful for targets that get included/imported in different
|
---|
658 | scenarios where a given extension-point may or may not exist.
|
---|
659 | Bugzilla Report 49473.
|
---|
660 |
|
---|
661 | * Ant now logs a warning message if it fails to change the file
|
---|
662 | modification time in for example when using <touch> or preserving
|
---|
663 | timestamps in various tasks.
|
---|
664 | Bugzilla Report 49485.
|
---|
665 |
|
---|
666 | * ProjectHelpers can now be installed dynamically via the <projecthelper>
|
---|
667 | Ant task.
|
---|
668 |
|
---|
669 | * <import> is now able to switch to the proper ProjectHelper to parse
|
---|
670 | the imported resource. This means that several kinds of different build
|
---|
671 | files can import each other.
|
---|
672 |
|
---|
673 | * <copy tofile=""> now also works for non-filesystem resources.
|
---|
674 | Bugzilla Report 49756.
|
---|
675 |
|
---|
676 | * The <linecontainsregexp> filter now supports a casesensitive
|
---|
677 | attribute.
|
---|
678 |
|
---|
679 | * The <containsregexp> selector now supports casesensitive, multiline
|
---|
680 | and singleline attributes.
|
---|
681 | Bugzilla Report 49764.
|
---|
682 |
|
---|
683 | * A new <cutdirsmapper> can be used like wget's --cut-dirs option to
|
---|
684 | strip leading directories from file names.
|
---|
685 |
|
---|
686 | * <javah> now supports the GNU project's gcjh compiler.
|
---|
687 | Bugzilla Report 50149.
|
---|
688 |
|
---|
689 | * <checksum> supports additional views of a file's path as elements
|
---|
690 | for a custom pattern.
|
---|
691 | Bugzilla Report 50114.
|
---|
692 |
|
---|
693 | * JUnit XMLResultAggregator logs the stack trace of caught IO exceptions
|
---|
694 | in verbose runs.
|
---|
695 | Bugzilla Report 48836.
|
---|
696 |
|
---|
697 | * StringUtils.parseHumanSizes() should turn parse failures into
|
---|
698 | BuildExceptions.
|
---|
699 | Bugzilla Report 48835.
|
---|
700 |
|
---|
701 | * New task <bindtargets> to make a list of targets bound to some
|
---|
702 | specified extension point.
|
---|
703 |
|
---|
704 | * Initial support for OpenJDK7 has been added.
|
---|
705 |
|
---|
706 | * Ant now uses java.net.CookieStore rather than
|
---|
707 | java.util.ServiceLocator to detect whether the environment is a
|
---|
708 | Java 1.6 system. This means releases of gcj/gij at the time of
|
---|
709 | this release of Ant are detected as Java 1.5 and not 1.6.
|
---|
710 | Bugzilla Report 50256.
|
---|
711 |
|
---|
712 | * It is now possible to write a compiler adapter for <javac> that
|
---|
713 | compiles sources with extensions other than .java (but that still
|
---|
714 | compile to .class files).
|
---|
715 | Bugzilla Report 48829.
|
---|
716 |
|
---|
717 | * The performance of VectorSet#add(Object) has been improved which
|
---|
718 | should also benefit any operation that scans directories in Ant.
|
---|
719 | Bugzilla Report 50200.

721 | Changes from Ant 1.8.0 TO Ant 1.8.1
|
---|
722 | ===================================
|
---|
723 |
|
---|
724 | Changes that could break older environments:
|
---|
725 | -------------------------------------------
|
---|
726 |
|
---|
727 | * ant-trax.jar is no longer produced since TrAX is included in JDK 1.4+.
|
---|
728 |
|
---|
729 | * Ant no longer ships with Apache Xerces-J or the XML APIs but relies
|
---|
730 | on the Java runtime to provide a parser and matching API versions.
|
---|
731 |
|
---|
732 | * The stylebook ant task and the ant-stylebook.jar are removed.
|
---|
733 |
|
---|
734 | Fixed bugs:

737 | * Tasks that iterate over task or type definitions, references or

816 |
|
---|
817 | Other changes:
|
---|
818 | --------------
|
---|
819 |
|
---|
820 | * Project provides new get methods that return copies instead of the
|
---|
821 | live maps of task and type definitions, references and targets.
|
---|
822 |
|
---|
823 | * Ant is now more lenient with ZIP extra fields and will be able to
|
---|
824 | read archives that it failed to read in earlier versions.
|
---|
825 | Bugzilla Report 48781.
|
---|
826 |
|
---|
827 | * The <zip> family of tasks has been sped up for bigger archives.
|
---|
828 | Bugzilla Report 48755.
|
---|
829 |
|
---|
830 | * Add removeKeepExtension option to NetRexxC task.
|
---|
831 | Bugzilla Report 48788.
|
---|
832 |
|
---|
833 | * Add prefix attribute to loadproperties task.
|
---|
834 |
|
---|
835 | * Add resource attribute to length task.
|
---|
836 |
|
---|
837 | * PropertyResource will effectively proxy another Resource if ${name}
|
---|
838 | evaluates to a Resource object.
|
---|
839 |
|
---|
840 | * Added forcestring attribute to equals condition to force evaluation
|
---|
841 | of Object args as strings; previously only API-level usage of the
|
---|
842 | equals condition allowed Object args, but Ant 1.8.x+ property
|
---|
843 | evaluation may yield values of any type.
|
---|
844 |
|
---|
845 | * BuildFileTest.assertPropertyUnset() fails with a slightly more
|
---|
846 | meaningful error message
|
---|
847 | Bugzilla Report 48834
|
---|
848 |
|
---|
849 | * <junit> will now throw an exception if a test name is empty. This
|
---|
850 | used to manifest itself in unrelated errors like
|
---|
851 | Bugzilla Report 43586.
|
---|
852 |
|
---|
853 | * A change that made <exec> more reliable on Windows (Bugzilla Report
|
---|
854 | 5003) strongly impacts the performance for commands that execute
|
---|
855 | quickly, like attrib. Basically no single execution of a command
|
---|
856 | could take less than a second on Windows.
|
---|
857 | A few timeouts have been tweaked to allow these commands to finish
|
---|
858 | more quickly but still they will take longer than they did with Ant
|
---|
859 | 1.7.1.
|
---|
860 | Bugzilla Report 48734.
|
---|
861 |
|
---|
862 | * Added SimpleBigProjectLogger, intermediate between NoBannerLogger and
|
---|
863 | BigProjectLogger.
|
---|
864 |
|
---|
865 | * <mappedresources> supports new attributes enablemultiplemappings
|
---|
866 | and cache.
|
---|
867 |
|
---|
868 | * Added the augment task to manipulate existing references via Ant's basic
|
---|
869 | introspection mechanisms.
|
---|
870 |

871 | Changes from Ant 1.8.0RC1 TO Ant 1.8.0
|
---|
872 | ======================================
|
---|
873 |
|
---|
874 | Changes that could break older environments:
|
---|
875 | -------------------------------------------
|
---|
876 |
|
---|
877 | * the appendtolines filter has been renamed to suffixlines.
|
---|
878 |
|
---|
879 | Fixed bugs:
|
---|
880 | -----------
|
---|
881 |
|
---|
882 | * stack traces were not reported at all by <junit/>
|
---|
883 | when filtertrace="on", which is the default.
|
---|
884 |
|
---|
885 | * ant.bat can now also process the -noclasspath switch when it is
|
---|
886 | the first switch on a command line.
|
---|
887 | Bugzilla Report 48186.
|
---|
888 |
|
---|
889 | * <fixcrlf> now tries to delete the created temporary files earlier.
|
---|
890 | Bugzilla Report 48506.
|
---|
891 |
|
---|
892 | * the implementation of <zip> had been changed in a way that broke
|
---|
893 | the jarjar links task and protentially other third-party subclasses
|
---|
894 | as well.
|
---|
895 | Bugzilla Report 48541.
|
---|
896 |
|
---|
897 | * <scp> task didn't report build file location when a remote operation failed
|
---|
898 | Bugzilla Report 48578.
|
---|
899 |
|
---|
900 | * <propertyfile> would add the same comment and a date line each time
|
---|
901 | it updated an existing property file.
|
---|
902 | Bugzilla Report 48558.
|
---|
903 |
|
---|
904 | * <sound> didn't work properly in recent Java VMs.
|
---|
905 | Bugzilla Report 48637.
|
---|
906 |
|
---|
907 | Other changes:
|
---|
908 | --------------
|
---|
909 |
|
---|
910 | Changes from Ant 1.7.1 TO Ant 1.8.0RC1
|
---|
911 | ======================================
|
---|
912 |
|
---|
913 | Changes that could break older environments:
|
---|
914 | -------------------------------------------
|
---|
915 |
|
---|
916 | * if and unless attributes (on <target> as well as various tasks and other
|
---|
917 | elements) have long permitted ${property} interpolation. Now, if the result
|
---|
918 | evaluates to "true" or "false" (or "yes", "no", "on", "off"), that boolean
|
---|
919 | value will be used; otherwise the traditional behavior of treating the value
|
---|
920 | as a property name (defined ~ true, undefined ~ false) is used. Existing
|
---|
921 | scripts could be broken if they perversely defined a property named "false"
|
---|
922 | and expected if="false" to be true, or used if="true" expecting this to be
|
---|
923 | triggered only if a property named "true" were defined.
|
---|
924 |
|
---|
925 | * Ant now requires Java 1.4 or later.
|
---|
926 |
|
---|
927 | * Improved handling of InterruptException (lets suppose someone/thing
|
---|
928 | is trying to kill the thread when we receive an
|
---|
929 | InterruptException), when an InterruptException is received, we do
|
---|
930 | not wait anymore in a while loop till the end time has been
|
---|
931 | reached.
|
---|
932 | Bugzilla Report 42924.
|
---|
933 |
|
---|
934 | * Refactor PropertyHelper and introspection APIs to make extension
|
---|
935 | more granular and support setting task/type attribute values to
|
---|
936 | objects decoded by custom PropertyEvaluator delegates. Also add
|
---|
937 | <propertyhelper> task for registering delegates and/or replacing
|
---|
938 | the registered PropertyHelper instance.
|
---|
939 | Bugzilla Report 42736.
|
---|
940 |
|
---|
941 | * Added a restricted form of typedef called <componentdef>. This
|
---|
942 | allows definition of elements that can only be within tasks or
|
---|
943 | types. This method is now used to define conditions, selectors,
|
---|
944 | comparators and filterreaders. This means that tasks may now have
|
---|
945 | nested conditions just by implementing the Condition interface,
|
---|
946 | rather than extending ConditionBase. It also means that the use of
|
---|
947 | namespaces for some of the selectors introduced in Ant 1.7.0 is no
|
---|
948 | longer necessary. Implementing this means that the DynamicElement
|
---|
949 | work-around introduced in Ant 1.7.0 has been removed.
|
---|
950 | Bugzilla Report 40511.
|
---|
951 |
|
---|
952 | * In the <touch> task when a <mapper> is used, the millis and
|
---|
953 | datetime attributes now override the time of the source resource if
|
---|
954 | provisioned.
|
---|
955 | Bugzilla Report 43235.
|
---|
956 |
|
---|
957 | * Remove fall-back mechanism for references that are not resolved
|
---|
958 | during normal runtime execution.
|
---|
959 |
|
---|
960 | * FileUtils.createTempFile now actually creates the file.
|
---|
961 | The TempFile task still does not create the file by default, can be
|
---|
962 | instructed to do so however using a new parameter.
|
---|
963 | Bugzilla Report 33969.
|
---|
964 |
|
---|
965 | * A lock in Project ensured that a BuildListener's messageLogged
|
---|
966 | method was only ever executed by a single thread at a time, while
|
---|
967 | all other methods could be invoked by multiple threads
|
---|
968 | simultaniously (while within <parallel>, for example). This lock
|
---|
969 | is no longer in place, messageLogged should be made thread-safe
|
---|
970 | now.
|
---|
971 |
|
---|
972 | * <sql>'s onError="stop" no longer fails the build if an error
|
---|
973 | occurs, this is the main difference between stop and error and
|
---|
974 | matches what the documentation implied.
|
---|
975 | Bugzilla Report 24668.
|
---|
976 |
|
---|
977 | * Ant's configuration introspection mechanisms have been modified to prefer
|
---|
978 | Resource and FileProvider attributes to plain java.io.File attributes;
|
---|
979 | however the configuration-from-String behavior remains equivalent, rendering
|
---|
980 | a FileResource.
|
---|
981 |
|
---|
982 | * CBZip2InputStream will now throw an IOException if
|
---|
983 | passed in a null or empty InputStream to read from.
|
---|
984 | Bugzilla Reports 32200.
|
---|
985 |
|
---|
986 | * <unzip> will now fail when trying to extract certain broken
|
---|
987 | archives that would have been silently ignored in earlier version.
|
---|
988 | Bugzilla Report 35000.
|
---|
989 |
|
---|
990 | * Ant's <zip> family of tasks tries to preserve the existing Unix
|
---|
991 | permissions when updating archives or copying entries from one
|
---|
992 | archive to another.
|
---|
993 | Since not all archiving tools support storing Unix permissions in
|
---|
994 | the same way that is used by Ant, sometimes the permissions read by
|
---|
995 | Ant seem to be 0, which means nobody is allowed to do anything to
|
---|
996 | the file or directory.
|
---|
997 | If Ant now encounters a permission set of 0 it will assume that
|
---|
998 | this is not the intended value and instead apply its own default
|
---|
999 | values. Ant used to create entries with 0 permissions itself.
|
---|
1000 | The <zip> family of tasks has a new attribute preserve0permissions
|
---|
1001 | that can be set to restore the old behavior.
|
---|
1002 | Bugzilla Report 42122.
|
---|
1003 |
|
---|
1004 | * If a batch containing multiple JUnit tests running inside a forked
|
---|
1005 | Java VM caused the VM to crash (or caused a timeout), the
|
---|
1006 | formatters would receive an error message for the last test in the
|
---|
1007 | batch.
|
---|
1008 | Ant will now pass in a test with the name "Batch-With-Multiple-Tests"
|
---|
1009 | instead - this is supposed to show more clearly that the last test
|
---|
1010 | may not have started at all.
|
---|
1011 | Bugzilla Report 45227.
|
---|
1012 |
|
---|
1013 | * If the number of minutes a build takes is bigger then 1000 Ant will
|
---|
1014 | no longer print a thousands separator in the "elapsed time"
|
---|
1015 | message. It used to be the thousands separator of the current
|
---|
1016 | locale.
|
---|
1017 | Bugzilla Report 44659.
|
---|
1018 |
|
---|
1019 | * <symlink action="delete"> used to fail if the link was broken (i.e.
|
---|
1020 | pointing to a file or directory that no longer existed). It will now
|
---|
1021 | silently try to remove the link.
|
---|
1022 | Bugzilla Report 41285.
|
---|
1023 |
|
---|
1024 | * <delete file="..."> used to log a warning and not delete broken
|
---|
1025 | symbolic links. <delete dir="..."/> didn't even log a warning.
|
---|
1026 | The task will now try to delete them in both cases.
|
---|
1027 | Bugzilla Report 41285.
|
---|
1028 |
|
---|
1029 | * if the dir attribute of a <fileset> points to a symbolic link and
|
---|
1030 | followsymlinks is set to false, the fileset will no longer be
|
---|
1031 | scanned and always seem empty.
|
---|
1032 | Bugzilla Report 45741.
|
---|
1033 |
|
---|
1034 | * the .NET tasks that have been deprecated since Ant 1.7.0 have been
|
---|
1035 | removed, please use the stand-alone Antlib you can find at
|
---|
1036 | http://ant.apache.org/antlibs/dotnet/index.html
|
---|
1037 | instead.
|
---|
1038 |
|
---|
1039 | * the logic of closing streams connected to forked processes (read
|
---|
1040 | the input and output of <exec> and friends) has been changed to
|
---|
1041 | deal with cases where child processes of the forked processes live
|
---|
1042 | longer than their parents and keep Ant from exiting.
|
---|
1043 | It is unlikely but possible that the changed logic breaks stream
|
---|
1044 | handling on certain Java VMs.
|
---|
1045 | Bugzilla issue 5003.
|
---|
1046 |
|
---|
1047 | * <checksum>'s totalproperty was platform dependent because it relied
|
---|
1048 | on java.io.File#compareTo. It has now been made platform
|
---|
1049 | independent, which means that totalPropery values obtained on
|
---|
1050 | Windows (and other systems where the sort order of File is not case
|
---|
1051 | sensitive) can be different from the values obtained with earlier
|
---|
1052 | versions of Ant.
|
---|
1053 | Bugzilla Report 36748.
|
---|
1054 |
|
---|
1055 | * globmapper didn't work properly if the "to" or "from" patterns
|
---|
1056 | didn't contain a "*". In particular it implicitly added a * to the
|
---|
1057 | end of the pattern(s). This is no longer the case. If you relied
|
---|
1058 | on this behavior you will now need to explicitly specify the
|
---|
1059 | trailing "*".
|
---|
1060 | Bugzilla Report 46506.
|
---|
1061 |
|
---|
1062 | * <copy> silently ignored missing resources even with
|
---|
1063 | failOnError="true". If your build tries to copy non-existant
|
---|
1064 | resources and you relied on this behavior you must now explicitly
|
---|
1065 | set failOnError to false.
|
---|
1066 | Bugzilla Report 47362.
|
---|
1067 |
|
---|
1068 | * Ant now prefers the java.runtime.version system property over
|
---|
1069 | java.vm.version for the Created-By Manifest attribute.
|
---|
1070 | Bugzilla Report 47632.
|
---|
1071 |
|
---|
1072 | * The <image> task now supports a nested mapper. In order to
|
---|
1073 | implement this, the Java API of the task had to change so any
|
---|
1074 | custom subclass overriding the processFile method will need to
|
---|
1075 | adapt (by overriding the new two-arg processFile method).
|
---|
1076 | Bugzilla Report 23243.
|
---|
1077 |
|
---|
1078 | * A new property syntax can be used to set attributes from
|
---|
1079 | references: ${ant.ref:some-reference}
|
---|
1080 |
|
---|
1081 | In most cases this will yield the exact same result as
|
---|
1082 | ${toString:some-reference} - only when an attribute setter method
|
---|
1083 | accepts an object type other than string and the project's
|
---|
1084 | reference is an Object of matching type the new syntax will pass in
|
---|
1085 | that object.
|
---|
1086 |
|
---|
1087 | If your build file already contains properties whose name starts
|
---|
1088 | with "ant.ref:" there is a potential for collision. If your
|
---|
1089 | property has been set, normal property expansion will take
|
---|
1090 | precedence over the new syntax. If the property has not been set
|
---|
1091 | and a reference with the postfix of your property name exists
|
---|
1092 | (i.e. in a very unlikely event) then the new syntax would yield a
|
---|
1093 | different result (an expanded property) than Ant 1.7.1 did.

|
---|
1835 | element to specify the task's (compiler) adapter as an instance of
|
---|
1836 | a class that has been defined via typedef/componentdef. This
|
---|
1837 | allows more control over the classpath and allows adapters to be
|
---|
1838 | defined in Antlibs easily.
|
---|
1839 |
|
---|
1840 | * A new subclass org.apache.tools.ant.loader.AntClassLoader5 of
|
---|

|
---|
1959 | =============================================
|
---|
1960 |
|
---|
1961 | Changes that could break older environments:
|
---|
1962 | -------------------------------------------
|
---|
1963 |
|
---|
1964 | * String resources only have properties single expanded. If you relied on
|
---|
1965 | <string> resources being expanded more than once, it no longer happens.
|
---|
1966 | Bugzilla report 42277.
|
---|
1967 |
|
---|
1968 | * A String resource's encoding attribute was only taken into account when
|
---|
1969 | set from the resource's OutputStream; the InputStream provided the String's
|
---|
1970 | binary content according to the platform's default encoding. Behavior has
|
---|
1971 | been modified to encode outgoing (InputStream) content as well as encoding
|
---|
1972 | incoming (OutputStream) content.
|
---|
1973 |
|
---|
1974 | * <java> with fork now returns gives -1 instead of 0 as result when failonerror

|
---|
1977 | * ant-type attribute has been marked as deprecated and a warning has been
|
---|
1978 | issued if it is encountered in the build file.
|
---|
1979 |
|
---|

|
---|
1982 |

|
---|
1984 | other than BuildException, thus omitting often important diagnostic
|
---|
1985 | information. Bugzilla 43398.
|
---|
1986 |
|
---|
1987 | * Error in FTP task

2033 |

|
---|
2055 |
|
---|
2056 | * Regression: concat fixlastline="true" should not have applied to

|
---|

|
---|
2095 | Apache Cactus' Ant task). The changes have been modified so that

2097 | subclass.
|
---|
2098 |
|

|
---|

---|
2104 |
|
---|
2105 | * Profiling logger has been added with basic profiling capabilities.

|
---|
2112 |

|
---|
2133 | * If you try and use a type in a namespace (or an antlib), and the type is not
|
---|
2134 | recognized but there are other definitions in that namespace, Ant lists what
|
---|
2135 | the known definitions are. This helps you find spelling errors.
|
---|
2136 |
|
---|
2137 | * Add a <last> resource collection, corresponding to <first>.
|
---|
2138 |

2162 | attribute.
|

---|
2187 | Changes from Ant 1.6.5 to Ant 1.7.0
|
---|
2188 | ===================================
|
---|
2189 |
|
---|
2190 | Changes that could break older environments:
|
---|
2191 | -------------------------------------------
|
---|
2192 |
|
---|
2193 | * Initial support for JDK 6 (JSR 223) scripting.
|
---|
2194 | <*script*> tasks will now use javax.scripting if BSF is
|
---|
2195 | not available, or if explicitly requested by using
|
---|
2196 | a "manager" attribute.
|
---|
2197 |
|
---|
2198 | * Removed launcher classes from nodeps jar.
|
---|
2199 |
|
---|
2200 | * <classconstants> filter reader uses ISO-8859-1 encoding to read
|
---|
2201 | the java class file. Bugzilla report 33604.
|
---|
2202 |
|
---|
2203 | * Defer reference process. Bugzilla 36955, 34458, 37688.
|
---|
2204 | This may break build files in which a reference was set in a target which was
|
---|
2205 | never executed. Historically, Ant would set the reference early on, during parse
|
---|
2206 | time, so the datatype would be defined. Now it requires the reference to have
|
---|
2207 | been in a bit of the build file which was actually executed. If you get
|
---|
2208 | an error about an undefined reference, locate the reference and move it somewhere
|
---|
2209 | where it is used, or fix the depends attribute of the target in question to
|
---|
2210 | depend on the target which defines the reference/datatype.
|
---|
2211 | As a result of testing on real live build scripts, a fall-back mechanism
|
---|
2212 | was put it place to allow references that are out-of-band to be resolved. If
|
---|
2213 | this happens a big warning message is logged. This fall-back mechanism will
|
---|
2214 | be removed in Ant 1.8.0.
|
---|
2215 |
|
---|
2216 | * <script> and <scriptdef> now set the current thread context.
|
---|
2217 |
|
---|
2218 | * Unrestrict the dbvendor names in the websphere element of the ejbjar task.
|
---|
2219 | Bugzilla Report 40475.
|
---|
2220 |
|
---|
2221 | * <env> nested element in <java>, <exec> and others is now case-insensitive
|
---|
2222 | for windows OS. Bugzilla Report 28874.
|
---|
2223 |
|
---|
2224 | * Removed support for xalan1 completely. Users of Xalan1 for Ant builds will
|
---|
2225 | have to stay at ant 1.6.5 or upgrade to xalan2.
|
---|
2226 |
|
---|
2227 | * Use org.apache.log4j.Logger instead of org.apache.log4j.Category.
|
---|
2228 | Category has been deprecated for ~2 years and has been removed from
|
---|
2229 | the log4j code. Logger was introduced in log4j 1.2 so users of
|
---|
2230 | log4j 1.1 and log4j 1.0 need to upgrade to a newer version of log4j.
|
---|
2231 | Bugzilla Report 31951.
|
---|
2232 |
|
---|
2233 | * build.sysclasspath now also affects the bootclasspath handling of
|
---|
2234 | spawned Java VMs. If you set build.sysclasspath to anything other
|
---|
2235 | than "ignore" (or leave it unset, since "ignore" is the default when
|
---|
2236 | it comes to bootclasspath handling), then the bootclasspath of the
|
---|
2237 | VM running Ant will be added to the bootclasspath you've specified.
|
---|
2238 |
|
---|
2239 | * The <java fork="false"> now as per default installs a security manager
|
---|
2240 | using the default permissions. This is now independent of the
|
---|
2241 | failonerror attribute. Bugzilla report 33361.
|
---|
2242 |
|
---|
2243 | * <signjar> now notices when the jar and signedjar are equal, and switches
|
---|
2244 | to the same dependency logic as when signedjar is omitted. This may break
|
---|
2245 | something that depended upon signing in this situation. However, since
|
---|
2246 | invoking the JDK jarsigner program with -signedjar set to the source jar
|
---|
2247 | actually crashes the JVM on our (Java1.5) systems, we don't think any
|
---|
2248 | build files which actually worked will be affected by the change.
|
---|
2249 |
|
---|
2250 | * <signjar> used to ignore a nested fileset when a jar was also provided as an
|
---|
2251 | attribute, printing a warning message; now it signs files in the fileset.
|
---|
2252 |
|
---|
2253 | * An improved method of handling timestamp granularity differences between
|
---|
2254 | client and server was added to the <ftp> task. FTP servers typically
|
---|
2255 | have HH:mm timestamps whereas local filesystems have HH:mm:ss timestamps.
|
---|
2256 | Previously, this required tweaking with the timediffmillis attribute
|
---|
2257 | which also was used to handle timezone differences. Now, there is a new
|
---|
2258 | timestampgranularity attribute. The default value for get operations is 0
|
---|
2259 | since the user has the more powerful preservelastmodified attribute to work
|
---|
2260 | with. Since this is not available on put operations the default value
|
---|
2261 | adds a minute to the server timestamp in order to account for this,
|
---|
2262 | Scripts which previously used timediffmillis to do this compensation may
|
---|
2263 | need to be rewritten. timediffmillis has now been deprecated.
|
---|
2264 |
|
---|
2265 | * Support for the XSL:P XML parser has been removed.
|
---|
2266 | Bugzilla Report 23455.
|
---|
2267 |
|
---|
2268 | * Visual Age for Java optional tasks removed as the required library is no
|
---|
2269 | longer available.
|
---|
2270 |
|
---|
2271 | * Testlet (test) optional task removed as the required library is no
|
---|
2272 | longer available.
|
---|
2273 |
|
---|
2274 | * IContract optional task removed as the required library is no
|
---|
2275 | longer available.
|
---|
2276 |
|
---|
2277 | * Metamata (maudit, mmetrics, and mparse tasks) removed as the required
|
---|
2278 | library is no longer available.
|
---|
2279 |
|
---|
2280 | * Sitraka (jpcoverage, jpcovmerge, jpcovreport) tasks suppressed as the
|
---|
2281 | required library is no longer available.
|
---|
2282 |
|
---|
2283 | * <fixcrlf> used \r (Mac) line endings on OS X, whose proper line separator
|
---|
2284 | is \n (Unix). Bugzilla report 39585.
|
---|
2285 |
|
---|
2286 | * <scp> now optionally supports the sftp protocol, you may need a
|
---|
2287 | newer jsch.jar. Bugzilla Report 39373.
|
---|
2288 |
|
---|
2289 | * Ant launcher program prints errors to stderr, and exits with a 2 exit code
|
---|
2290 | value if, for any reason, it cannot actually start Ant proper. This will only
|
---|
2291 | affect programs/scripts that called the launcher and which did not want to
|
---|
2292 | receive an error if Ant itself would not start
|
---|
2293 |
|
---|
2294 | * All .NET tasks are now deprecated in favor of the new .NET Antlib:
|
---|
2295 | http://ant.apache.org/antlibs/dotnet/index.html
|
---|
2296 |
|
---|

|
---|
2298 | -----------
|
---|
2299 | * Directory deletion did not work properly.

---|
2329 | * Regression: <path> was evaluating nested content only once, so that it could
|
---|
2330 | not e.g. pick up files that didn't exist the first time through.
|
---|
2331 | Bugzilla 41151.
|
---|
2332 |
|
---|
2333 | * OOM caused by IH holding on to classes and thus their classloaders.

2384 |
|

2387 |
|
---|
2388 | * The inheritance hierarchy of the legacy <path> type was changed; code built
|
---|
2389 | against Ant 1.7 would therefore no longer execute on older versions of Ant.
|
---|
2390 | Since <path> is historically heavily used this was undesirable, and since it

2392 |
|
---|

2409 | * Some bugs in ReaderInputStream. Bugzilla report 39635.
|
---|

---|
2411 | * <antlr> did not recognise whether the target is up-to-date for html option.

---|
2419 |
|
---|
2420 | * The build could be halted if a file path contained more ".." components than
|
---|
2421 | the actual depth of the preceding path. Now such paths are left
|
---|
2422 | alone (meaning they will likely be treated as nonexistent
|
---|
2423 | files). Bugzilla Report 40281.
|
---|
2424 |
|
---|
2425 | * Converting a <dirset> to a string was broken. Bugzilla Report 39683.
|
---|
2426 |
|
---|
2427 | * Manifests have improved line length handling, taking care of encoding.
|
---|
2428 | Bug reports 37548 / 34425.
|
---|
2429 |
|
---|
2430 | * <manifest> now closes the inputstream explicitly. Bug report 39628.
|
---|
2431 |
|
---|
2432 | * <rpm> now also correctly searches the first element of the path.
|
---|
2433 | Bug report 39345.
|
---|

2443 |
|
---|
2444 | * Problem when adding multiple filter files, Bugzilla Report 37341.

2445 |
|
---|
2446 | * Problem referencing jars specified by Class-Path attribute in manifest
|
---|
2447 | of a ant task jar file, when this ant task jar file is located in
|
---|
2448 | a directory with space, Bugzilla Report 37085.

---|
2451 |

|
---|
2457 |
|
---|
2458 | * Memory leak from IntrospectionHelper.getHelper(Class) in embedded
|
---|
2459 | environments. Bugzilla Report 30162.
|
---|
2460 |
|
---|
2461 | * Translate task does not remove tokens when a key is not found.
|
---|
2462 | It logs a verbose message. Bugzilla Report 13936.
|
---|
2463 |
|
---|
2464 | * Incorrect task name with invalid "javac" task after a "presetdef".
|
---|
2465 | Bugzilla reports 31389 and 29499.
|
---|
2466 |
|

2468 | Bugzilla report 32190.
|
---|
2469 |
|
---|
2470 | * <replace> got out of memory on large files (part of report 32566).
|
---|
2471 | <replace> can now handle files as long as there is enough disk space
|
---|
2472 | available.
|
---|
2473 |
|
---|
2474 | * Commandline.describeCommand() methods would attempt to describe
|
---|
2475 | arguments even when none, other than the executable name, were present.
|
---|
2476 |
|
---|
2477 | * Create signjar's helper ExecTask instance directly rather than by
|
---|
2478 | typedef discovery mechanisms. Bugzilla report 33433.
|
---|
2479 |
|
---|
2480 | * FileUtils.resolveFile() promised to return absolute files but

2817 | * The linecontains and linecontainsregexp filterreaders now support a
|
---|
2818 | negate attribute to select lines -not- containing specified text.
|
---|
2819 | Bugzilla Report 34374.
|
---|
2820 |
|
---|
2821 | * <os> condition adds "winnt" as a family which can be tested. This is
|
---|
2822 | all windows platforms other than the Win9x line or Windows CE.
|
---|
2823 |
|
---|
2824 | * <exec> (and hence, <apply> and any other derived classes) have an OsFamily
|
---|
2825 | attribute, which can restrict execution to a single OS family.
|
---|
2826 |
|
---|
2827 | * Added "backtrace" attribute to macrodef. Bugzilla report 27219.
|
---|
2828 |
|
---|
2829 | * Ant main provides some diagnostics if it ever sees a -cp or -lib option,
|
---|
2830 | as this is indicative of a script mismatch. Bugzilla report 34860
|
---|
2831 |
|
---|
2832 | * <junitreport> prints a special message if supplied an empty XML File. This
|
---|
2833 | can be caused by the test JVM exiting during a test, either via a
|
---|
2834 | System.exit() call or a JVM crash.
|
---|
2835 |
|
---|
2836 | * Project name is now used for *all* targets so one can write consistent import
|
---|
2837 | build files. Bugzilla report 28444.
|
---|
2838 |
|
---|
2839 | * New condition <typefound> that can be used to probe for the declaration
|
---|
2840 | and implementation of a task, type, preset, macro, scriptdef, whatever.
|
---|
2841 | As it tests for the implementation, it can be used to check for optional
|
---|
2842 | tasks being available.
|
---|
2843 |
|
---|
2844 | * Check for 1.5.* Ant main class. (weblogic.jar in classpath reports)
|
---|
2845 |
|
---|
2846 | * New condition <isfailure> that tests the return-code of an executable. This
|
---|
2847 | contains platform-specific logic and is better than comparing the result with
|
---|
2848 | "0".
|
---|
2849 |
|
---|
2850 | * Added initial support for Resource Collections, including the
|
---|
2851 | resourcecount task.
|
---|
2852 |
|
---|
2853 | * property attribute of pathconvert is now optional. If omitted the
|
---|
2854 | result will be written to the log.
|
---|
2855 |
|
---|
2856 | * New mapper, <scriptmapper>, supports scripted mapping of source files/strings
|
---|
2857 | to destination strings.
|
---|
2858 |
|
---|
2859 | * Add the echoxml task. This will echo nested XML to a file, with
|
---|
2860 | the normal <?xml ?> processor instruction. UTF-8 encoding only; no-namespace
|
---|
2861 | support.
|
---|
2862 |
|
---|
2863 | * Try to make subprojects of custom Project subclasses instances of the
|
---|
2864 | same type. Bugzilla report 17901.
|
---|
2865 |
|
---|
2866 | * <ssh> and <scp> support keyboard-interactive authentication now.
|
---|
2867 |
|
---|
2868 | * <javadoc> now supports -breakiterator for custom doclets if Ant is
|
---|
2869 | running on JSE 5.0 or higher. Bugzilla Report: 34580.
|
---|
2870 |
|
---|
2871 | * New logger, TimestampedLogger, that prints the wall time that a build
|
---|
2872 | finished/failed. Use with
|
---|
2873 | -logger org.apache.tools.ant.listener.TimestampedLogger
|
---|
2874 |
|
---|
2875 | * <junitreport> now generates pages alltests-errors.html and
|
---|
2876 | alltests-fails.html, that list only the errors and failures, respectively.
|
---|
2877 | Bugzilla Report: 36226
|
---|
2878 |
|
---|
2879 | * New task <makeurl> that can turn a file reference into an absolute file://
|
---|
2880 | url; and nested filesets/paths into a (space, comma, whatever) separated
|
---|
2881 | list of URLs. Useful for RMI classpath setup, amongst other things.
|
---|
2882 |
|
---|
2883 | * <xslt> now accepts nested FileNameMappers e.g. <globmapper>.
|
---|
2884 | Bugzilla report 37604.
|
---|
2885 |
|
---|
2886 | * New task <loadresource> that accompanies <loadfile> for non file resources.
|
---|
2887 |
|
---|
2888 | * <echo> now supports an encoding when saving to a file.
|
---|
2889 |
|
---|
2890 | * New GreedyInputHandler added.
|
---|
2891 |
|
---|
2892 | * Add textfile attribute to the <filesmatch> condition. When true, the text
|
---|
2893 | contents of the two files are compared, ignoring line ending differences.
|
---|
2894 |
|
---|
2895 | * New <resourcesmatch> condition.
|
---|
2896 |
|
---|
2897 | * Added the onmissingfiltersfile attribute to filterset. Bugzilla report 19845.
|
---|
2898 |
|
---|
2899 | * Added the inline handler element to the input task.
|
---|
2900 |
|
---|
2901 | * <sql> supports property expansion if you set the expandProperties
|
---|
2902 | attribute. By default it does not expand properties, something we
|
---|
2903 | dare not change for fear of breaking complex SQL operations in
|
---|
2904 | existing files.
|
---|
2905 |
|
---|
2906 | * <javadoc>'s packagenames attribute is now optional and defaults to "*".
|
---|
2907 |
|
---|
2908 | * <javac>'s source and target attributes as well as <javadoc>'s source
|
---|
2909 | attribute will read default values from the properties
|
---|
2910 | ant.build.javac.source and ant.build.javac.target.
|
---|
2911 |
|
---|
2912 | * Handling of ' ', '#' in CLASSPATH and '#' in -lib (cannot use ' '
|
---|
2913 | in -lib on UNIX at the moment). Bugzilla Report 39295.
|
---|
2914 |
|
---|
2915 | * <scp> now optionally supports the sftp protocol. Bugzilla Report 39373.
|
---|
2916 |
|
---|
2917 | * Resources can now be used to indicate the location of the stylesheet to use
|
---|
2918 | in <xslt>. Bugzilla Report 39407.
|
---|
2919 |
|
---|
2920 | * New <antversion> condition. Bugzilla report 32804.
|
---|
2921 |

---|
2922 | * ReplaceTokens should allow properties files. Bugzilla report 39688.
|
---|
2923 |

|
---|
2925 |
|
---|
2926 | * Minor performance updates. Bugzilla report 39565.
|
---|
2927 |
|
---|
2928 | * New deleteonexit attribute for the <tempfile> task. Bugzilla report 39842.
|
---|
2929 | Remember that the exit of the JVM can be a long time coming,
|
---|
2930 | especially under an IDE. Don't rely on this being called.
|
---|
2931 |
|
---|
2932 | * <scriptdef>-created scripts have support for nested text. All text
|
---|
2933 | passed to a scripted task can be accessed via self.text.
|
---|
2934 |
|
---|
2935 | * <fixcrlf> now supports an outputencoding attribute. Bugzilla report 39697.
|
---|
2936 |
|
---|
2937 | * <junitreport> now supports nested XSL parameters. Bugzilla report 39708.
|
---|
2938 |
|
---|
2939 | * <javacc> has a jdkversion attribute to pass the desired JDK version
|
---|
2940 | down to javacc. Bugzilla report 38715.
|
---|
2941 |
|
---|
2942 | * <cvs> prints passfile info at -verbose level instead of -info. Bugzilla
|
---|
2943 | report 35268
|
---|
2944 |
|
---|
2945 | * When <javac> can't find the compiler class, it prints out java.home for
|
---|
2946 | immediate diagnostics
|
---|
2947 |
|
---|
2948 | * Ant launcher now supports a -main attribute so that you can specify
|
---|
2949 | an extension class to the built in org.apache.tools.ant.Main
|
---|
2950 | class. This class must implement the interface AntMain
|
---|
2951 |
|
---|
2952 | Changes from Ant 1.6.4 to Ant 1.6.5
|
---|
2953 | ===================================
|
---|
2954 |
|
---|
2955 | Changes that could break older environments:
|
---|
2956 | --------------------------------------------
|
---|
2957 |
|
---|
2958 | Fixed bugs:
|
---|
2959 | -----------
|
---|
2960 |
|
---|
2961 | * <move> was unable to replace existing files or write into
|
---|
2962 | existing directories. Bugzilla report 34962.
|
---|
2963 |
|
---|
2964 | * <macrodef> with redefined default values was incorrect. (Fix for
|
---|
2965 | 31215 had a bug). Bugzilla report 35109.
|
---|
2966 |
|
---|
2967 | * <javadoc> will convert backslashes to forwardslashes when generating file
|
---|
2968 | list by useexternalfile. Bugzilla report 27814.
|
---|
2969 |
|
---|
2970 | Changes from Ant 1.6.3 to Ant 1.6.4
|
---|
2971 | ===================================
|
---|
2972 |
|
---|
2973 | Changes that could break older environments:
|
---|
2974 | --------------------------------------------
|
---|
2975 | * <ftp> task has had a number of changes. Uptodate calculation previously
|
---|
2976 | did not call a file uptodate if the source timestamp and the destination
|
---|
2977 | timestamp were equal. Bugzilla report 34941. Any script that attempted
|
---|
2978 | to compensate for this by using the timediffmillis attribute might need
|
---|
2979 | to be tweaked.
|
---|
2980 |
|
---|
2981 |
|
---|
2982 | Fixed bugs:
|
---|
2983 | -----------
|
---|
2984 |
|
---|
2985 | * Sun javah failed with java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError.
|
---|
2986 | Bugzilla report 34681.
|
---|
2987 |
|
---|
2988 | * DirectoryScanner.slowScan() was broken. Bugzilla report 34722.
|
---|
2989 |
|
---|
2990 | * DirectoryScanner.scan() could throw a NullPointerException on
|
---|
2991 | case-insensitive filesystems (read Windows or MacOS X).
|
---|
2992 |
|
---|
2993 | * Get w/authentication failed with ArrayOutOfBoundsExceptions.
|
---|
2994 | Bugzilla report 34734.
|
---|
2995 |
|
---|
2996 | * Granularity attribute for <sync> task was undocumented.
|
---|
2997 | Bugzilla report 34871.
|
---|
2998 |
|
---|
2999 | * <unzip> and <untar> could leave file handles open on invalid
|
---|
3000 | archives. Bugzilla report 34893.
|
---|
3001 |
|
---|
3002 | * propertyset threw NPE with nested, mapped propertysets.
|
---|
3003 |
|
---|
3004 | Other changes:
|
---|
3005 | --------------
|
---|
3006 |
|
---|
3007 | * AntXMLContext.setCurrentTargets() is now public. Bugzilla report 34680.
|
---|
3008 |
|
---|
3009 | Changes from Ant 1.6.2 to Ant 1.6.3
|
---|
3010 | ===================================
|
---|
3011 |
|
---|
3012 | Changes that could break older environments:
|
---|
3013 | --------------------------------------------
|
---|
3014 |
|
---|
3015 | * The subant task used the canonical version of a file path. This
|
---|
3016 | has been changed to use the absolute path. Bugzilla 30438.
|
---|
3017 |
|
---|
3018 | * Tar now writes two EOF blocks rather than one.
|
---|
3019 | Bugzilla report 28776
|
---|
3020 |
|
---|
3021 | * The Reference object now has a project field which it uses in preference
|
---|
3022 | to the project passed in. This allows composite references to be
|
---|
3023 | handled to nested projects.
|
---|
3024 | Bugzilla report 25777
|
---|
3025 |
|
---|
3026 | * <junit> with filtertrace="true" will now also swallow lines for the
|
---|
3027 | sun.reflect package. If you need to see them in your stack trace,
|
---|
3028 | you must set filtertrace to false.
|
---|
3029 | Bugzilla Report 22758
|
---|
3030 |
|
---|
3031 | * The jikes compiler adapter now supports -bootclasspath, -extdirs and
|
---|
3032 | -sourcepath and also uses the same logic for debug flags as javac.
|
---|
3033 | This means, the jikes compiler adapter now requires Jikes 1.15 or later.
|
---|
3034 | Bugzilla Reports 25868, 26404 and 32609.
|
---|
3035 |
|
---|
3036 | * The gcj compiler adapter used to include the Java runtime classes
|
---|
3037 | even if includeJavaRuntime was set to false, unless the
|
---|
3038 | bootclasspath has been specified as well. It will now always adhere
|
---|
3039 | to includeJavaRuntime, you may need to set it to true explicitly now
|
---|
3040 | if you relied on the old behavior.
|
---|
3041 |
|
---|
3042 | Other changes:
|
---|
3043 | --------------
|
---|
3044 |

3052 | * Enable to choose the regexp implementation without system property.
|
---|
3053 | Bugzilla Report 15390.
|
---|
3054 |
|
---|
3055 | * Expose objects and methods in IntrospectionHelper. Bugzilla Report 30794.
|
---|
3056 |

|
---|
3058 | Bugzilla Report 22863.

|
---|
3063 |
|
---|
3064 | * Added <target> nested elements to <ant> and <antcall> to allow
|
---|
3065 | specification of multiple sub-build targets, which are executed
|
---|
3066 | with a single dependency analysis.
|
---|
3067 |
|
---|
3068 | * Refactored Target invocation into org.apache.tools.ant.Executor
|
---|
3069 | implementations. Bugzilla Reports 21421, 29248.
|
---|
3070 |
|
---|
3071 | * <rmic> now also supports Kaffe's rmic version shipping with Kaffe
|

|
---|
3075 | Bugzilla report 16686
|
---|
3076 |
|
---|
3077 | * added handledirsep attribute to <globmapper> and <regexpmapper>
|
---|
3078 | Bugzilla report 32487
|
---|
3079 |
|
---|
3080 | * added a new mapper <filtermapper>
|
---|
3081 |
|
---|
3082 | * When a BuildListener tried to access System.err or System.out, Ant
|
---|
3083 | would have thrown an exception - this has been changed. Ant now
|
---|
3084 | silently ignores the message. BuildListeners still should avoid
|
---|
3085 | accessing either stream.
|
---|
3086 |
|
---|
3087 | * Added a comment attribute to the zip task.
|
---|
3088 | Bugzilla report 22793.
|
---|
3089 |
|
---|
3090 | * Overloaded FileUtils.createNewFile with a boolean mkdirs attribute
|
---|
3091 | to create nonexistent parent directories.
|
---|
3092 |
|
---|
3093 | * <apply> has a new "force" attribute that, when true, disables
|
---|
3094 | checking of target files.
|
---|
3095 |
|
---|
3096 | * Made the dest attribute of the apply task optional; mapped target
|
---|
3097 | filenames will be interpreted as absolute pathnames when dest is omitted.
|
---|
3098 |
|
---|
3099 | * Changed default tempdir for <javac> from user.dir to java.io.tmpdir.
|
---|
3100 |
|
---|
3101 | * Added searchpath attribute to <exec> for searching path variable(s)
|
---|
3102 | when resolveexecutable = true.
|
---|
3103 |
|
---|
3104 | * Added revision and userid attributes to <pvcs> documentation.
|
---|
3105 |
|
---|
3106 | * Added support to the touch task for a mkdirs attribute to create
|
---|
3107 | nonexistent parent directories before touching new files.
|
---|
3108 |
|
---|
3109 | * Added support to the touch task for a pattern attribute to allow
|
---|
3110 | alternate datetime formats.

3115 | * Added support to the touch task for a verbose attribute to suppress
|
---|
3116 | logging of new file creation.
|
---|
3117 |
|
---|
3118 | * bad link in docs to the enhancement page in bugzilla.

---|
3120 |
|
---|
3121 | * Added length task to get strings' and files' lengths.

|
---|
3123 | * <native2ascii> and <javah> now also support Kaffe's versions.
|
---|
3124 |
|
---|
3125 | * Recursive token expansion in a filterset can now be disabled by
|
---|
3126 | setting its recurse attribute to false.
|
---|
3127 |
|
---|
3128 | * Pathconvert no longer requires that one of (targetos|pathsep|dirsep)
|
---|
3129 | be set; platform defaults are used when this is the case.
|
---|
3130 |
|
---|
3131 | * Added preservelastmodified attribute to fixcrlf task. Bugzilla 25770.
|

|
---|
3133 | * Added isfileselected condition.

3134 |
|
---|
3135 | * Added verbose="true|false" attribute to <subant>. When verbose is enabled,
|
---|
3136 | the directory name is logged on entry and exit of the sub-build.
|
---|
3137 | Bugzilla 33787.
|
---|
3138 |
|
---|
3139 | * Added -nouserlib option to allow running ant without automatically loading
|
---|
3140 | up ${user.home}/.lib/ant. This is useful when compiling ant, and antlibs.
|
---|
3141 | Modified the build.sh and build.bat to use the option.
|
---|
3142 |
|
---|
3143 | * Added -noclasspath option to allow running ant WITHOUT using CLASSPATH env
|
---|
3144 | variable. Modified ant.bat to do this so that %CLASSPATH% is not looked at.
|
---|
3145 |
|
---|
3146 | * Add else attribute to the condition task, which specifies an
|
---|
3147 | optional alternate value to set the property to if the nested
|
---|
3148 | condition evaluates to false. Bugzilla report 33074.
|
---|
3149 |
|
---|
3150 | * Ant generated jar files should now be detected as jar files by

|
---|
3154 | dialogs without special read/write pairs. Bugzilla Report 26632.
|
---|
3155 |
|
---|
3156 | * <csc>'s extraoptions can now contain multiple arguments.
|
---|
3157 | Bugzilla Report 23599.
|
---|
3158 |
|
---|
3159 | * <macrodef> with default values set by properties would be
|
---|
3160 | seen as new definitions when called twice with different properties.
|
---|
3161 | This was confusing so the definitions are now treated as similar.

3333 | Changes from Ant 1.6.1 to Ant 1.6.2
|
---|
3334 | ===================================
|
---|
3335 |
|
---|
3336 | Changes that could break older environments:
|
---|
3337 | --------------------------------------------
|
---|
3338 |
|
---|
3339 | * The import task used the canonical version of a file path. This
|
---|
3340 | has been changed to use the absolute path. Bugzilla 28505.
|
---|
3341 |
|
---|
3342 | * ant-xalan2.jar has been removed since the only class contained in it
|
---|
3343 | didn't depend on Xalan-J 2 at all. Its sole dependency has always
|
---|
3344 | been TraX and so it has been merged into ant-trax.jar.
|
---|
3345 |
|
---|
3346 | * All exceptions thrown by tasks are now wrapped in a buildexception
|
---|
3347 | giving the location in the buildfile of the task.
|
---|
3348 |
|
---|
3349 | * Nested elements for namespaced tasks and types may belong to the
|
---|
3350 | Ant default namespace as well as the task's or type's namespace.
|
---|
3351 |
|
---|
3352 | * <junitreport> will very likely no longer work with Xalan-J 1.
|
---|
3353 |
|
---|
3354 | Note that Xalan-J 1 has been deprecated for a very long time and we
|
---|
3355 | highly recommend that you upgrade.
|
---|
3356 |
|
---|
3357 | If you really need to continue using Xalan-J 1, please copy the
|
---|
3358 | junit-frames-xalan1.xsl from the distribution's etc directory as
|
---|
3359 | junit-frames.xsl into a new directory and use the task's styledir
|
---|
3360 | attribute to point to. This is the last version of the XSLT
|
---|
3361 | stylesheet that is expected to be compatible with Xalan-J 1.
|
---|
3362 |
|
---|
3363 | Fixed bugs:

---|

|
---|

|
---|
3375 | Bugzilla Report 25982.
|
---|
3376 |
|
---|
3377 | * Throw build exception if target repeated in build file, but allow targets
|
---|
3378 | to be repeated in imported files.
|
---|
3379 |
|
---|
3380 | * <apply> didn't compare timestamps of source and targetfiles when
|
---|
3381 | using a nested <filelist>. Bugzilla Report 26985.
|
---|
3382 |
|
---|
3383 | * tagdiff.xml was broken in ant 1.6.1. Bugzilla Report 27057.

---|
3384 |
|
---|

3386 | .. or ., the basedir was set incorrectly. Bugzilla Report 26765.

---|
3387 |
|
---|
3388 | * regression from ant 1.5, exec task outputted two redundant trailing newlines.
|
---|
3389 | Bugzilla Report 27546.
|
---|
3390 |
|
---|
3391 | * NPE when running commons listener. Bugzilla Report 27373.
|
---|
3392 |

---|
3393 | * <java> swallowed the stack trace of exceptions thrown by the
|
---|
3394 | executed program if run in the same VM.
|
---|
3395 |
|
---|
3396 | * -projecthelp swallowed (configuration) errors silently.
|
---|
3397 | Bugzilla report 27732.
|
---|
3398 |
|
---|
3399 | * filterset used by filtertask doesn't respect loglevel. Bugzilla Report 27568.
|
---|
3400 |
|
---|
3401 | * wrong compare used in ProjectComponent for logging. Bugzilla Report 28070.
|
---|
3402 |
|
---|
3403 | * failOnAny attribute for <parallel> was broken. Bugzilla Report 28122.
|
---|
3404 |
|
---|
3405 | * If <javac> uses gcj and any of the nested <compilerarg>s implies
|
---|
3406 | compilation to native code (like -o or --main), Ant will not pass
|
---|
3407 | the -C switch to gcj. This means you can now compile to native code
|
---|
3408 | with gcj which has been impossible in Ant < 1.6.2.
|
---|
3409 |
|
---|
3410 | * <import optional="false"> and <import optional="true">
|
---|
3411 | behaved identically.
|
---|
3412 |
|
---|
3413 | * <xslt> now sets the context classloader if you've specified a nested
|
---|
3414 | <classpath>. Bugzilla Report 24802.
|
---|
3415 |
|
---|
3416 | * <zip> and friends would delete the original file when trying to update
|
---|
3417 | a read-only archive. Bugzilla Report 28419.
|
---|
3418 |
|
---|
3419 | * <junit> and <assertions> are working together. Bugzilla report 27218

|
---|
3423 |

3424 | * Ant failed to locate tools.jar if the jre directory name wasn't all
|
---|
3425 | lowercase. Bugzilla Report 25798.
|
---|
3426 |
|
---|
3427 | * Redirector exhibited inconsistent behavior with regard to split
|
---|
3428 | output. When sent to file only, files would be created in all
|
---|
3429 | cases; when split file-property, files were only created if
|
---|
3430 | writes were performed.
|
---|
3431 |
|
---|
3432 | * fixed case handling of scriptdef attributes and elements.

|
---|
3503 |
|
---|
3504 | * New attribute "negate" on <propertyset> to invert selection criteria.
|
---|
3505 |
|
---|
3506 | * Target now supports a Location member. Bugzilla Report 28599.
|
---|
3507 |
|
---|
3508 | * New "pattern" attribute for <date> selector.
|
---|
3509 |
|
---|
3510 | * <junit> has a new forkmode attribute that controls the number of
|
---|
3511 | Java VMs that get created when forking tests. This allows you to
|
---|
3512 | run all tests in a single forked JVM reducing the overhead of VM
|
---|
3513 | creation a lot. Bugzilla Report 24697.
|
---|
3514 |
|
---|
3515 | * <jar> can now optionally create an index for jars different than the
|
---|
3516 | one it currently builds as well. See the new <indexjars> element
|
---|
3517 | for details. Bugzilla Report 14255.
|
---|
3518 |
|
---|
3519 | * Permit building under JDK 1.5. Bugzilla Report 28996.
|
---|
3520 |
|
---|
3521 | * minor Javadoc changes. Bugzilla Report 28998.
|
---|
3522 |
|
---|
3523 | * Misc. corrections in SignJar.java. Bugzilla Report 28999.
|
---|
3524 |
|
---|
3525 | * Remove redundant <hr> from javah.html. Bugzilla Report 28995.
|
---|
3526 |
|
---|
3527 | * Ignore built distributions. Bugzilla Report 28997.
|
---|
3528 |
|
---|
3529 | * A new roundup attribute on <zip> and related task can be used to
|
---|
3530 | control whether the file modification times inside the archive will
|
---|
3531 | be rounded up or down (since zips only store modification times with
|
---|
3532 | a granularity of two seconds). The default remains to round up.
|
---|
3533 | Bugzilla Report 17934.
|
---|
3534 |
|
---|
3535 | * A binary option has been added to <concat>. Bugzilla Report 26312.
|
---|
3536 |
|
---|
3537 | * Added DynamicConfiguratorNS, an namespace aware version of
|
---|
3538 | DynamicConfigurator. Bugzilla Report 28436.
|
---|
3539 |
|
---|
3540 | * Add implicit nested element to <macrodef>. Bugzilla Report 25633.
|
---|
3541 |
|
---|
3542 | * Add deleteonexit attribute to <delete>.
|
---|
3543 |
|
---|
3544 | * Added Target.getIf/Unless(). Bugzilla Report 29320.
|
---|
3545 |
|
---|
3546 | * <fail> has a status attribute that can be used to pass an exit
|
---|
3547 | status back to the command line.
|
---|
3548 |
|
---|
3549 | * <fail> accepts a nested <condition>.
|
---|
3550 |
|
---|
3551 | * <loadproperties> supports loading from a resource.
|
---|
3552 | Bugzilla Report 28340.
|
---|
3553 |
|
---|
3554 | * Nested file mappers and a container mapper implementation have been
|
---|
3555 | introduced. Additionally, the <mapper> element now accepts "defined"
|
---|
3556 | nested FileNameMapper implementations directly, allowing a usage
|
---|
3557 | comparable to those of <condition>, <filter>, and <selector>.
|
---|
3558 |
|
---|
3559 | * New <redirector> type introduced to provide extreme I/O flexibility.
|
---|
3560 | Initial support for <exec>, <apply>, and <java> tasks.
|
---|
3561 |
|
---|
3562 | * <apply> has a new ignoremissing attribute (default true for BC)
|
---|
3563 | which will allow nonexistent files specified via <filelist>s to
|
---|
3564 | be passed to the executable. Bugzilla Report 29585.
|
---|
3565 |
|
---|
3566 | * <junitreport> now also works with Xalan XSLTC and/or JDK 1.5.
|
---|
3567 | Bugzilla Report 27541.
|
---|
3568 |
|
---|
3569 | * <jspc> doesn't work properly with Tomcat 5.x. We've implemented a
|
---|
3570 | work-around but don't intend to support future changes in Tomcat
|
---|
3571 | 5.x. Please use the jspc task that ships with Tomcat instead of
|
---|
3572 | Ant's.
|
---|
3573 |
|
---|
3574 | Changes from Ant 1.6.0 to Ant 1.6.1
|
---|
3575 | =============================================
|
---|

|
---|
3584 | -----------
|
---|
3585 | * Remove a recursive template call in the junit xsls that could trigger a stack

|
---|
3587 | Bugzilla Report 19301
|
---|
3588 |
|
---|
3589 | * Fix spurious infinite loop detection for filters (introduced in ant 1.6.0).

|
---|
3591 |
|
---|
3592 | * Fix handling of default ant namespace for nested elements.
|
---|
3593 |
|
---|
3594 | * Fix jboss element of ejb task (introduced in ant 1.6.0).
|
---|
3595 |
|
---|
3596 | * <whichresource> failed to load classes correctly.
|
---|
3597 |
|
---|
3598 | * Ant could fail to start with a NullPointerException if
|
---|
3599 | ANT_HOME/lib/ant-launcher.jar was part of the system CLASSPATH.
|
---|
3600 |
|
---|
3601 | * presetdef'ed types did not work with the ant-type attribute
|
---|
3602 |
|
---|
3603 | * fixed case handling of macrodef attributes and elements. Bugzilla
|
---|
3604 | Reports 25687 and 26225.
|
---|
3605 |
|
---|
3606 | * <java> ignored the append attribute, Bugzilla Report 26137.
|
---|
3607 |
|
---|
3608 | * The gcj compiler adapter for <javac> failed if the destination
|
---|
3609 | directory didn't exist. Bugzilla Report 25856.
|
---|
3610 |
|
---|
3611 | * Ant now fails with a more useful message if a new process will be
|
---|
3612 | forked in a directory and that directory doesn't exist.
|
---|
3613 |
|
---|
3614 | * <splash> used to break the build on non-GUI environments. Bugzilla
|
---|
3615 | report 11482.
|
---|
3616 |
|
---|
3617 | * Ant 1.6.0 cannot run build scripts in directories with non-ASCII names.
|
---|
3618 | Bugzilla Report 26642.
|
---|
3619 |
|
---|
3620 | Other changes:
|
---|
3621 | --------------
|
---|
3622 | * Shipped XML parser is now Xerces-J 2.6.1
|
---|
3623 |
|
---|
3624 | * Translate task logs a debug message specifying the number of files
|
---|
3625 | that it processed. Bugzilla Report 13938.
|
---|
3626 |
|
---|
3627 | * <fixcrlf> has a new attribute - fixlast. Bugzilla Report 23262.
|
---|
3628 |
|
---|
3629 | * <p4submit> has 2 new attributes, needsresolveproperty and changeproperty.
|
---|
3630 | Bugzilla Report 25711.
|
---|
3631 |
|
---|
3632 | * add description attributes to macrodef attributes and elements.
|
---|
3633 | Bugzilla Report 24711.
|
---|
3634 |
|
---|
3635 | * Extending ClearCase Tasks :
|
---|
3636 | - Added an extra option to 'failonerr' to each ClearCase task/command.
|
---|
3637 | - Extended the functionality of cccheckout. It can check (notco) to see if
|
---|
3638 | the desired element is already checked out to the current view. Thus it
|
---|
3639 | won't attempt to check it out again.
|
---|
3640 | - Added three new ClearCase commands: ccmkattr, ccmkdir, ccmkelem
|
---|
3641 | Bugzilla Report 26253.
|
---|
3642 |
|
---|
3643 | * added nested text support to <macrodef>
|
---|
3644 |
|
---|
3645 | * added initial support for Java 1.5. Java 1.5 is now correctly
|
---|
3646 | detected by Ant and treated just like Java 1.4. You can now specify
|
---|
3647 | source="1.5" in the <javac> task.
|
---|
3648 |
|
---|
3649 | * created new task <cvsversion>
|
---|
3650 |
|
---|
3651 | * added support for branch logging via the tag attribute in <cvschangelog>
|
---|
3652 | Bugzilla Report 13510.
|
---|
3653 |
|
---|
3654 | * added support the groovy language in the script and scriptdef tasks
|
---|
3655 |
|
---|
3656 | Changes from Ant 1.5.4 to Ant 1.6.0
|
---|
3657 | ===================================
|
---|
3658 |
|
---|
3659 | Changes that could break older environments:
|
---|
3660 | --------------------------------------------
|
---|
3661 |
|
---|
3662 | * This version of Ant can not be built with JDK 1.1 and requires at
|
---|
3663 | least Java 1.2 at runtime as well. Compiling for a 1.1 target is
|
---|
3664 | still supported.
|
---|
3665 |
|
---|
3666 | * Targets cannot have the empty string as their name any longer.
|
---|
3667 |
|
---|
3668 | * ant.jar's manifest does no longer include a Class-Path entry, so it
|
---|
3669 | is no longer possible to run Ant via "java -jar ant.jar" without
|
---|
3670 | manually altering the CLASSPATH. Instead of that a file
|
---|
3671 | ant-bootstrap.jar is included in the etc directory of the binary
|
---|
3672 | distribution, copy this to the lib directory and use
|
---|
3673 | "java -jar ant-bootstrap.jar" instead if you want to run Ant without
|
---|
3674 | the wrapper script (not recommended).
|
---|
3675 |
|
---|
3676 | * The <script> task now requires Apache BSF instead of the older IBM
|
---|
3677 | version. See <http://jakarta.apache.org/bsf/>
|
---|
3678 |
|
---|
3679 | * <xmlproperty> will no longer fail if the file to be loaded doesn't exist.
|
---|
3680 |
|
---|
3681 | * XML namespaces are now enabled in the XML parser, meaning XML namespace
|
---|
3682 | declarations no longer cause errors. However task names containing colons
|
---|
3683 | will cause errors unless there is a corresponding namespace uri.
|
---|
3684 |
|
---|
3685 | * The <ftp> and <telnet> tasks now require Jakarta Commons Net instead
|
---|
3686 | of the older ORO Netcomponents version. See
|
---|
3687 | <http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/net/index.html>.
|
---|
3688 |
|
---|
3689 | * <input> will no longer prompt the user and wait for input if the
|
---|
3690 | addproperty attribute is set to a property that has already been
|
---|
3691 | defined in the project. If you rely on the task waiting for input,
|
---|
3692 | don't use the addproperty attribute.
|
---|
3693 |
|
---|
3694 | * The Class-Path attribute in manifests will no longer merge the
|
---|
3695 | entries of all manifests found, but will be treated like all other
|
---|
3696 | manifest attributes - the most recent attribute(s) will be used.
|
---|
3697 |
|
---|
3698 | * New Launch mechanism implemented. This moves some functionality from
|
---|
3699 | the batch files / shell scripts into Java. This removes environment
|
---|
3700 | limitations, for command issues, directory depth issues on Windows. Also
|
---|
3701 | allows a per-user library location to be used if the main Ant install
|
---|
3702 | is locked down.
|
---|
3703 |
|
---|
3704 | * The Entry nested element of PropertyFile will not any more have its value
|
---|
3705 | attribute (actually increment) overwritten with the new value of the entry
|
---|
3706 | after execution.
|
---|
3707 |
|
---|
3708 | * Output stored from a <java> or <exec> task is now exactly as generated. No
|
---|
3709 | conversion to platform end-of-line characters is performed.
|
---|
3710 |
|
---|
3711 | * <translate> will now preserve line endings.
|
---|
3712 |
|
---|
3713 | * <ftp> followsymlinks="false" in nested fileset definitions is explicitly
|
---|
3714 | required in order to exclude remote symbolic links (when doing a get, chmod,
|
---|
3715 | delete, rmdir).
|
---|
3716 |
|
---|
3717 | * The values of the Copy#fileCopyMap variable has changed from String to
|
---|
3718 | String[]. (In java 1.5 terms it was Hashtable<String, String> and
|
---|
3719 | is now Hashtable<String, String[]>). This will affect third party code
|
---|
3720 | that extend Copy and override Copy#doFileOperations.
|
---|
3721 |
|
---|
3722 | * <loadproperties> didn't expand properties while <property file="..."/>
|
---|
3723 | does, so they were not equivalent. This has been fixed, which means
|
---|
3724 | that propetries may get expanded twice if you use an
|
---|
3725 | <expandproperties> filterreader. Bugzilla Report 17782.
|
---|
3726 |
|
---|
3727 | * User defined tasks and typedefs are now handled internally in the
|
---|
3728 | same way as predefined tasks and typedefs. Also tasks and typedefs
|
---|
3729 | are resolved at a later stage. This causes some
|
---|
3730 | differences especially for user defined task containers.
|
---|
3731 |
|
---|
3732 | * <checksum> log message "Calculating checksum ..." has been degraded
|
---|
3733 | from INFO to VERBOSE.
|
---|
3734 |
|
---|
3735 | Fixed bugs:
|
---|
3736 | -----------
|
---|
3737 | * Filter readers were not handling line endings properly. Bugzilla
|
---|
3738 | Report 18476.
|
---|
3739 |
|
---|
3740 | * Filtersets were also not handling line endings properly.
|
---|
3741 |
|
---|
3742 | * Expand tasks did not behave as expected with PatternSets.
|
---|
3743 |
|
---|
3744 | * <property environment=... /> now works on OS/400.
|
---|
3745 |
|
---|
3746 | * <cab> could hang listcab on large <fileset>s.
|
---|
3747 |
|
---|
3748 | * The starteam stcheckout, stcheckin tasks now correctly compute
|
---|
3749 | status of files against whatever local tree they are run against
|
---|
3750 | and, optionally, will not process a file if it is current.
|
---|
3751 | Previously you had to process everything unless you ran against the
|
---|
3752 | default folder which wasn't the normal use-case for ant-starteam.
|
---|
3753 | The stlist task now similarly displays that status correctly making
|
---|
3754 | it a more generally useful tool.
|
---|
3755 |
|
---|
3756 | * entity includes would cause exceptions if path names included spaces.
|
---|
3757 |
|
---|
3758 | * addConfiguredXXX would not work for TaskAdapter wrapped tasks
|
---|
3759 |
|
---|
3760 | * Fix <ilasm> outputfile testing so that the output file does not need
|
---|
3761 | to exist beforehand.
|
---|
3762 |
|
---|
3763 | * Ant will now exit with a return code of 1 if it encounters problems
|
---|
3764 | with the command line arguments.
|
---|
3765 |
|
---|
3766 | * ClassLoader creation changes to use a factory method in Project. A new
|
---|
3767 | class AntClassLoader2 implemented for 1.2+ specific features including
|
---|
3768 | Package information and addition of classes specified in the Class-Path
|
---|
3769 | element of a Jar's manifest.
|
---|
3770 |
|
---|
3771 | * It is now possible in <exec> to resolve the executable to a project
|
---|
3772 | basedir or execution dir relative executable. The resolveExecutable
|
---|
3773 | must be used to pick up such executables.
|
---|
3774 |
|
---|
3775 | * splash screen wouldn't disappear when build was finished.
|
---|
3776 |
|
---|
3777 | * <exec> output and error streams can now be redirected independently
|
---|
3778 | to either a property or a file (or both)
|
---|
3779 |
|
---|
3780 | * TarEntry's File-arg constructor would fail with a
|
---|
3781 | StringIndexOutOfBoundsException on all OSes where os.name is shorter
|
---|
3782 | than seven characters. Bugzilla Report 18105.
|
---|
3783 |
|
---|
3784 | * <copy> and <move>'s failonerror didn't apply to filesets pointing to
|
---|
3785 | non-existant directories. Bugzilla Report 18414.
|
---|
3786 |
|
---|
3787 | * The <stripjavacomments> filter sometimes removed parts of string
|
---|
3788 | constants. Bugzilla Report 17441.
|
---|
3789 |
|
---|
3790 | * <antlr> will now recompile your grammar if the supergrammar has
|
---|
3791 | changed. Bugzilla Report 12691.
|
---|
3792 |
|
---|
3793 | * <property env> will now work on Unices with /bin/env instead of
|
---|
3794 | /usr/bin/env. Bugzilla Report 17642.
|
---|
3795 |
|
---|
3796 | * <jar index="on"> could include multiple index lists. Bugzilla 10262.
|
---|
3797 |
|
---|
3798 | * The index created by <jar> didn't conform to the spec as it didn't
|
---|
3799 | include the top-level entries. Bugzilla Report 16972.
|
---|
3800 |
|
---|
3801 | * <tar> and <zip> didn't honor the defaultexcludes attribute for the
|
---|
3802 | implicit fileset. Bugzilla Report 18637.
|
---|
3803 |
|
---|
3804 | * The <replacetokens> filter would throw an exception if the token's
|
---|
3805 | value was an empty string. Bugzilla Report 18625.
|
---|
3806 |
|
---|
3807 | * Perforce tasks relying on output from the server such as <p4change>
|
---|
3808 | and <p4label> were hanging. Bugzilla Reports 18129 and 18956.
|
---|
3809 |
|
---|
3810 | * Improve exception and logging behavior of Perforce tasks.
|
---|
3811 | Bugzilla report 18154.
|
---|
3812 |
|
---|
3813 | * build.sh install had a problem on cygwin (with REALANTHOME).
|
---|
3814 | Bugzilla Report 17257
|
---|
3815 |
|
---|
3816 | * <replaceregexp> didn't work for multi-byte encodings if byline was false.
|
---|
3817 | Bugzilla Report 19187.
|
---|
3818 |
|
---|
3819 | * <replaceregexp> was altering unnecessarily the timestamp of the directories
|
---|
3820 | containing the files to process
|
---|
3821 | Bugzilla Report 22541.
|
---|
3822 |
|
---|
3823 | * file names that include spaces need to be quoted inside the @argfile
|
---|
3824 | argument using forked <javac> and (all JDKS). Bugzilla Report 10499.
|
---|
3825 | NB : a first correction was only introducing quotes for JDK 1.4
|
---|
3826 | It has been changed to quote for all external compilers when paths
|
---|
3827 | contain spaces.
|
---|
3828 | Also the backslashes need to be converted to forward slashes
|
---|
3829 | Bugzilla Report 17683.
|
---|
3830 |
|
---|
3831 | * Setting filesonly to true in <zip> and related tasks would cause the
|
---|
3832 | archives to be always recreated. Bugzilla Report 19449.
|
---|
3833 |
|
---|
3834 | * file names that include spaces need to be quoted inside the @argfile
|
---|
3835 | argument using <javadoc> and JDK 1.4. Bugzilla Report 16871.
|
---|
3836 |
|
---|
3837 | * <junit> didn't work with custom formatters that were only available
|
---|
3838 | on the user specified classpath when a timeout occurred. Bugzilla

---|
4183 | source file names from the command line. Bugzilla Report 13654.
|
---|
4184 |
|
---|
4185 | * <apply> and <chmod> now support nested <filelist>s as well as <dirset>s.

|
---|
4205 | jboss element will look for jbosscmp-jdbc.xml descriptor
|
---|
4206 | if ejbjar has cmpversion="2.0" set
|
---|

---|
4228 | enable it to expand archives created with filenames using an encoding
|
---|
4229 | other than UTF8. Bugzilla Report 10504.
|
---|
4230 |
|
---|
4231 | * <patch> has a new attribute destfile that can be used to create a new
|
---|
4232 | file instead of patching files in place.
|
---|
4233 |
|
---|
4234 | * OpenVMS is detected as a valid OS family.
|
---|
4235 |
|
---|
4236 | * DirectoryScanner has been optimized for cases where include patterns do not

---|
4237 | start with wildcards. Bugzilla Report 20103.
|
---|
4238 |
|
---|
4239 | * DirectoryScanner begins to be optimized not to scan excluded directories.
|
---|
4240 | Bugzilla Report 21941.
|
---|
4241 |
|
---|
4242 | * Added keep-going feature. Bugzilla Report 21144
|
---|
4243 |
|
---|
4244 | * The archives generated by <zip> and friends will now contain CRC and
|
---|
4245 | size information in the "local file header", thereby providing this
|
---|
4246 | information to applications that read the archives using
|
---|
4247 | java.util.ZipInputStream. Bugzilla Report 19195.
|
---|
4248 |
|
---|
4249 | * <copy> and <move> can now handle mappers that return multiple
|
---|
4250 | mappings per source path. This behaviour is enabled by using
|
---|
4251 | an enablemultiplemapping attribute. Bugzilla Report 21320.
|
---|
4252 |
|
---|
4253 | * <exec> will now work on OpenVMS (please read the notes in
|

|
---|
4263 | from deadlocks, etc in the parallel threads. <parallel> also
|
---|
4264 | now supports a <daemons> nested element. This can be used to
|
---|
4265 | run tasks in daemon threads which the parallel task will not
|
---|
4266 | wait for before completing. A new attribute failonany will cause
|
---|
4267 | <parallel> to throw an exception if any thread fails without
|
---|
4268 | waiting for all other threads to complete.
|
---|
4269 |
|
---|
4270 | * <zip> and friends will consume far less memory than they used to

|
---|
4275 |
|
---|
4276 | * <zip> and friends have a new attribute "keepcompression" that can be
|
---|
4277 | used to incrementally build an archive mixing compressed and uncompressed
|
---|
4278 | entries.
|
---|
4279 |
|
---|
4280 | * <junit>'s XML formatter adds a new classname attribute to the <testcase>
|
---|
4281 | elements.
|
---|
4282 |
|
---|
4283 | * new <permissions> type add permission handling to the code
|
---|
4284 | this type can be nested in the <java> and <junit> tasks.
|
---|
4285 | Bugzilla Report 22533.
|
---|
4286 |
|
---|
4287 | * additional shortcuts for ant options (-d --> -debug, -e --> -emacs,
|
---|
4288 | -h --> -help, -p --> -projecthelp, -s --> -find).
|
---|
4289 |
|
---|
4290 | * new selector <modified>. "cache" was renamed to "modified".
|
---|
4291 | Bugzilla Report 20474.
|
---|
4292 |
|
---|
4293 | * <stcheckout> and <stlist> have a new asofdate attribute that can be
|
---|
4294 | used to checkout/list files based on a date instead of a label.
|
---|
4295 | Bugzilla Report 20578.
|
---|
4296 |
|
---|
4297 | * New filter <concatfilter>. Adds the content of file at the beginning
|
---|
4298 | or end of a file. Discussion started at
|
---|
4299 | http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=ant-user&m=106366791228585&w=2
|
---|
4300 |
|
---|
4301 | * New task <import>
|
---|
4302 |
|
---|
4303 | * New task <macrodef>
|
---|
4304 |
|
---|
4305 | * New task <presetdef>
|
---|
4306 |
|
---|
4307 | * Ant libraries that can make use of namespaces to avoid name
|
---|
4308 | clashes of custom tasks
|
---|
4309 |
|
---|
4310 | * <java> and <junit> now support <assertions>, which let you enable
|
---|
4311 | and disable Java1.4 assertions on a package or class basis. These
|
---|
4312 | only work when fork=true, currently.
|
---|
4313 |
|
---|
4314 | * .NET tasks expanded with VB support <vbc> and J#, via <jsharp>,
|
---|
4315 | <importtypelib> and <ilasm>. <csc> supports nested <src> types,
|
---|
4316 | <defines> for (potentially conditional) definitions, <reference>
|
---|
4317 | filesets for references. The executable attribute lets you switch to
|
---|
4318 | mono or other implementations -<csc> has been tested with Mono on
|
---|
4319 | Linux and OSX.

|
---|
4323 | ===================================
|
---|
4324 |
|
---|
4325 | Changes that could break older environments:
|
---|
4326 | --------------------------------------------
|
---|
4327 |
|
---|
4328 | * If the Visual Age tasks used to work for you, they may stop doing so
|
---|
4329 | now - and we'd like to know about it. The current set of tasks is
|
---|
4330 | supposed to work with any version of VAJ starting with 3.0.
|
---|
4331 |
|
---|
4332 | Fixed bugs:
|
---|
4333 | -----------
|
---|
4334 |
|
---|
4335 | * The Visual Age for Java tasks didn't work (at least for versions 3.0
|
---|
4336 | and higher). Bugzilla Report 10016.
|
---|
4337 |
|
---|
4338 | * URL-encoding in <vaj*port> didn't work properly.
|
---|
4339 |
|
---|
4340 | * VAJRemoteUtil called getAbsolutePath instead of getPath
|
---|
4341 | causing problems when using a Windows VAJ server from a UNIX server.
|
---|
4342 | Bugzilla Report 20457.
|
---|
4343 |
|
---|
4344 | * VAJImport task failed with NullPointerException when using DirectoryScanner.
|
---|
4345 | Bugzilla Report 22080.
|
---|
4346 |
|
---|
4347 | Other changes:
|
---|
4348 | --------------
|
---|
4349 |
|
---|
4350 | * Shipped XML parser is now Xerces 2.5.0
|
---|
4351 |
|
---|
4352 | * <javah> will invoke oldjavah on JDK 1.4.2. Bugzilla Report 18667.
|
---|
4353 |
|
---|
4354 | * The VAJ tasks now support a haltonfailure attribute to conditionally
|
---|
4355 | keep building even if they fail.
|
---|
4356 |
|
---|
4357 | * It is now possible to use the latest (versioned or unversioned) edition
|
---|
4358 | in <vajload> by using special wildcard characters. Also fixes
|
---|
4359 | Bugzilla Report 2236.
|
---|
4360 |
|
---|
4361 | Changes from Ant 1.5.2 to Ant 1.5.3
|
---|
4362 | ===================================
|
---|
4363 |
|
---|
4364 | Changes that could break older environments:
|
---|
4365 | --------------------------------------------
|
---|
4366 |
|
---|
4367 | * The <zip> task and friends have again changed a method signature
|
---|
4368 | (sorry, was necessary to fix bug 17780). The return type of
|
---|
4369 | getResourcesToAdd has changed.
|
---|
4370 |
|
---|
4371 | Fixed bugs:
|
---|
4372 | -----------
|
---|
4373 |
|
---|
4374 | * <zipfileset>'s filemode would get ignored and the dirmode was used
|
---|
4375 | for the included files as well. As a side effect, WinZIP was unable
|
---|
4376 | to extract or display the files, so they seemed to be missing from
|
---|
4377 | the archive. Bugzilla Report 17648.
|
---|
4378 |
|
---|
4379 | * <ftp> could use the wrong path separator when trying to change the
|
---|
4380 | remote working directory. Bugzilla Report 17735.
|
---|
4381 |
|
---|
4382 | * <jar update="true"> would loose all original files if you didn't
|
---|
4383 | specify any nested <(zip)fileset>s and the manifest had changed.
|
---|
4384 | Bugzilla Report 17780.
|
---|
4385 |
|
---|
4386 | * If you used a value starting with \ on Windows for the appxml
|
---|
4387 | attribute of <ear> or the webxml attribute of <war>, it would be
|
---|
4388 | ignored. Bugzilla Report 17871.
|
---|
4389 |
|
---|
4390 | * Ant will no longer implicitly add Sun's rt.jar in <javac> when you
|
---|
4391 | use jvc and don't specify a bootclasspath. Bugzilla Report 18055.
|
---|
4392 |
|
---|
4393 | * The prefix attribute of <zipfileset> would not generate directory
|
---|
4394 | entries for the prefix itself. Bugzilla Report 18403.
|
---|
4395 |
|
---|
4396 | * starteam checkout can now handle deleted labels. Bugzilla Report 17646.
|
---|
4397 |
|
---|
4398 | * The Unix wrapper script failed if you invoked it as a relative
|
---|
4399 | symlink and ANT_HOME has not been set. Bugzilla Report 17721.
|
---|
4400 |
|
---|
4401 | Other Changes:
|
---|
4402 | --------------
|
---|
4403 | * Added ability to specify manifest encoding for the <jar> and
|
---|
4404 | <manifest> tasks
|
---|
4405 |
|
---|
4406 | Changes from Ant 1.5.1 to Ant 1.5.2
|
---|
4407 | =============================================
|
---|
4408 |
|
---|
4409 | Changes that could break older environments:
|
---|
4410 | --------------------------------------------
|
---|
4411 | * ANT_OPTS environment variable is now applied at the start of the
|
---|
4412 | Java command line, allowing position specific parameters of some
|
---|
4413 | JVMs, such as -classic to be specified.
|
---|
4414 |
|
---|
4415 | * ZipScanner#getIncludedFiles will now return the names of the ZipEntries
|
---|
4416 | that have been matched instead of the name of the archive.
|
---|
4417 |
|
---|
4418 | * The <zip> task and friends have been heavily modified, almost every
|
---|
4419 | method signature of the Zip class has changed. If you have subclassed
|
---|
4420 | Zip (or one of its subclasses), your class will most likely not
|
---|
4421 | compile against the current code base. If it still compiles, it will
|
---|
4422 | probably not work as in Ant 1.5.1.
|
---|
4423 |
|
---|
4424 | Fixed bugs:
|
---|
4425 | -----------
|
---|
4426 | * <translate> was not ignoring comment lines.
|
---|
4427 |
|
---|
4428 | * <manifest> wouldn't update an existing manifest if only an attribute
|
---|
4429 | of an existing section changed.
|
---|
4430 |
|
---|
4431 | * ant.bat now supports the ANT_ARGS and JAVACMD environment variables
|
---|
4432 | again (like Ant 1.5 did).
|
---|
4433 |
|
---|
4434 | * The "plain" <junit> <formatter> could throw a NullPointerException
|
---|
4435 | if an error occurred in setUp.
|
---|
4436 |
|
---|
4437 | * <junit> will now produce output when a test times out as well.
|
---|
4438 |
|
---|
4439 | * <replace> would count some internal character replacements when
|
---|
4440 | reporting the number of replaced tokens.
|
---|
4441 |
|
---|
4442 | * <concat> would cause an exception if a <filelist> pointed to files
|
---|
4443 | that do not exist.
|
---|
4444 |
|
---|
4445 | * <javadoc> will now pass -source to custom doclets as well.
|
---|
4446 |
|
---|
4447 | * <cvstagdiff> would throw a NullPointException if there had been no
|
---|
4448 | differences.
|
---|
4449 |
|
---|
4450 | * <cvschangelog> could miss today's changes.
|
---|
4451 |
|
---|
4452 | * <concat> could append newline characters between concatenated files.
|
---|
4453 |
|
---|
4454 | * <xmlvalidate> ignored the specified encoding of the files to
|
---|
4455 | validate.
|
---|
4456 |
|
---|
4457 | * the errorsbeginat attribute of the <http> condition didn't work.
|
---|
4458 |
|
---|
4459 | * Ant will try to force loading of certain packages like com.sun.*
|
---|
4460 | from the system classloader. The packages are determined by the
|
---|
4461 | version of the JVM running Ant.
|
---|
4462 |
|
---|
4463 | * Ant didn't find the runtime libraries on IBM's JDK 1.4 for Linux.
|
---|
4464 |
|
---|
4465 | * random component of temporary files is now always a positive integer.
|
---|
4466 |
|
---|
4467 | * Ant could incorrectly try to use the 1.4 regexp implementation even
|
---|
4468 | if it isn't available if you run the JVM with -Xverify:none.
|
---|
4469 |
|
---|
4470 | * Ant would die with an exception if you used nested <reference>
|
---|
4471 | elements in Ant and the refid attribute didn't point to an existing
|
---|
4472 | project reference.
|
---|
4473 |
|
---|
4474 | * The <get> task can now be compiled (and Ant thus bootstrapped) using
|
---|
4475 | Kaffee.
|
---|
4476 |
|
---|
4477 | * build.sysclasspath will now be honored by more tasks.
|
---|
4478 |
|
---|
4479 | * The signjar keystore attribute has been reverted to a String allowing
|
---|
4480 | it to once again accept URLs. This should not affect current File based usage
|
---|
4481 | unless you are extending the Signjar task.
|
---|
4482 |
|
---|
4483 | * <jar update="true"> would remove the original manifest.
|
---|
4484 |
|
---|
4485 | * fix up folder creation in PVCS task
|
---|
4486 |
|
---|
4487 | * <tar>'s up-to-date check didn't work for nested <(tar)fileset>s.
|
---|
4488 |
|
---|
4489 | * Corrected a problem in XMLLogger where it would not associated
|
---|
4490 | messages with a taskdef'd task
|
---|
4491 |
|
---|
4492 | * <uptodate> now works when using attributes (i.e. not filesets) and pointing
|
---|
4493 | to the same file
|
---|
4494 |
|
---|
4495 | * Java task (and output system) now stores output which doos not end
|
---|
4496 | with a line feed.
|
---|
4497 |
|
---|
4498 | * splash screen wouldn't disappear when build was finished.
|
---|
4499 |
|
---|
4500 | * <exec> now supports OS/2.
|
---|
4501 |
|
---|
4502 | * <zip> and friends would only update/recreate existing archives if
|
---|
4503 | the files to add/update have been newer than the archive.
|
---|
4504 |
|
---|
4505 | * <javadoc>'s <link> element could fail for offline="true" on some JDKs.
|
---|
4506 |
|
---|
4507 | Other changes:
|
---|
4508 | --------------
|
---|
4509 |
|
---|
4510 | * MailLogger now sets the Date header correctly.
|
---|
4511 |
|
---|
4512 | * Shipped XML parser is now Xerces 2.3.0
|
---|
4513 |
|
---|
4514 | * signjar now accepts a maxmemory attribute to allow the memory allocated to the
|
---|
4515 | jarsigner tool to be specified. The jarsigner from the JDK's JAVA_HOME bin
|
---|
4516 | dir is now used rather than the first jarsigner on the path.
|
---|
4517 |
|
---|
4518 | * **/.DS_Store has been added to the list of default pattern excludes.
|
---|
4519 |
|
---|
4520 | * The Created-By header in the default manifest now contains the JVM
|
---|
4521 | vendor and version according to the jar specification. A new header,
|
---|
4522 | Ant-Version provides the Ant version used to create the jar.
|
---|
4523 |
|
---|
4524 | * <zip> can now store Unix permissions in a way that can be

4527 | Changes from Ant 1.5.1Beta1 to 1.5.1
|
---|
4528 | ====================================
|
---|
4529 |
|
---|
4530 | Fixed bugs:
|
---|
4531 | -----------
|
---|
4532 |
|
---|
4533 | * <tstamp>'s prefix attribute failed to apply to nested <format> elements.
|
---|
4534 |
|
---|
4535 | * <junitreport> created an empty junit-noframes.html if no format had
|
---|
4536 | been specified.
|
---|
4537 |
|
---|
4538 | * <basename> would remove more than it should if the file name
|
---|
4539 | contained more than one dot.
|
---|
4540 |
|
---|
4541 | * <filterset>s nested into <filterset>s didn't work.
|
---|
4542 |
|
---|
4543 | Other changes:
|
---|
4544 | --------------
|
---|
4545 |
|
---|
4546 | * Shipped XML parser is now Xerces 2.2.0
|
---|
4547 |
|
---|
4548 | * Filesets now support a 'file' attribute, allowing a single-file
|
---|
4549 | fileset to be constructed without having to specify its parent
|
---|
4550 | directory separately.
|
---|
4551 |
|
---|
4552 | * <junit> will now return the result of a call to getName instead of
|
---|
4553 | "unknown" for Test implementations that don't extend TestCase but have
|
---|
4554 | a public String getName() method.
|
---|
4555 |
|
---|
4556 | Changes from Ant 1.5 to 1.5.1Beta1
|
---|
4557 | ==================================
|
---|
4558 |
|
---|
4559 | Fixed bugs:
|
---|
4560 | -----------
|
---|
4561 | * Date/time in CvsChangeLog was in local timezone and 12 hour format leading
|
---|
4562 | to a problem when sorting by time. It is now UTC (GMT) and in 24-hour
|
---|
4563 | format as per cvs 'specifications'.
|
---|
4564 |
|
---|
4565 | * CvsTagDiff now supports ampersand modules or modules that have a different
|
---|
4566 | root directory than their name.
|
---|
4567 |
|
---|
4568 | * EjbJar threw NPEs for the Websphere element. The property 'websphere.home'
|
---|
4569 | was not documented.
|
---|
4570 |
|
---|
4571 | * Mail example in the documentation was not correct.
|
---|
4572 |
|
---|
4573 | * Checksum was broken in the following scenario:
|
---|
4574 | (using verifyproperty OR in a condition) AND using filesets
|
---|
4575 | with multiple files.
|
---|
4576 |
|
---|
4577 | * The ExpandProperties filter threw NPEs when defined using
|
---|
4578 | the <filterreader> format.
|
---|
4579 |
|
---|
4580 | * The sh wrapper script didn't work under Cygwin if ANT_HOME wasn't
|
---|
4581 | set with a Unix style filename.
|
---|
4582 |
|
---|
4583 | * The sh wrapper script could fail if you started Ant from a directory
|
---|
4584 | with whitespace in its name.
|
---|
4585 |
|
---|
4586 | * ant -diagnostics was not working properly when the task dependency
|
---|
4587 | was missing and was just printing the missing dependency.
|
---|
4588 |
|
---|
4589 | * If a task got redefined via <taskdef>, it lost its child elements.
|
---|
4590 |
|
---|
4591 | * <property>'s classpathref attribute was broken.
|
---|
4592 |
|
---|
4593 | * <arg line="''" /> would result in no command line argument, will now
|
---|
4594 | be a single empty argument. Use <arg value="''"/> if you need the
|
---|
4595 | quotes literally.
|
---|
4596 |
|
---|
4597 | * <replaceregexp> could append a newline character at the end of the
|
---|
4598 | file.
|
---|
4599 |
|
---|
4600 | Other changes:
|
---|
4601 | --------------
|
---|
4602 |
|
---|
4603 | * Appendix E of Java Development with Ant (Loughran/Hatcher) was
|
---|
4604 | contributed to the docs.
|
---|
4605 |
|
---|
4606 | * <available> will only print deprecration warnings if it is actually
|
---|
4607 | used to change the value of a property.
|
---|
4608 |
|
---|
4609 | Changes from Ant 1.5beta3 to Ant 1.5
|
---|
4610 | ====================================
|
---|
4611 |
|
---|
4612 | Changes that could break older environments:
|
---|
4613 | --------------------------------------------
|
---|
4614 |
|
---|
4615 | * The filesetmanifest attribute added to <jar> after the 1.4.1
|
---|
4616 | release has been removed for now. This change may affect only
|
---|
4617 | the 1.5Beta/1.6Alpha users. An attempt will be made to add this
|
---|
4618 | feature back into Ant 1.6.
|
---|
4619 |
|
---|
4620 | Fixed bugs:
|
---|
4621 | -----------
|
---|
4622 |
|
---|
4623 | * <zip> and friends would always update existing archive if you set
|
---|
4624 | the update attribute to true.
|
---|
4625 |
|
---|
4626 | * To support backward compatibility with older versions, <pathconvert>
|
---|
4627 | will once again set the property, even if the result is the empty
|
---|
4628 | string, unless the new 'setonempty' attribute is set to false|no|off
|
---|
4629 | (default is "true").
|
---|
4630 |
|
---|
4631 | * The manifest task would crash XmlLogger
|
---|
4632 |
|
---|
4633 | Other changes:
|
---|
4634 | --------------
|
---|
4635 |
|
---|
4636 | * added **/.svn and **/.svn/** to the default excludes
|
---|
4637 |
|
---|
4638 | Changes from Ant 1.5beta2 to Ant 1.5beta3
|
---|
4639 | =========================================
|
---|
4640 |
|
---|
4641 | Changes that could break older environments:
|
---|
4642 | --------------------------------------------
|
---|
4643 |
|
---|
4644 | * <pvcs> default filenameformat has been different from Ant 1.4.1.
|
---|
4645 | Now it is different from 1.5beta1 and 1.5beta2.
|
---|
4646 |
|
---|
4647 | * <pathconvert> won't set the property if the result is the empty string.
|
---|
4648 |
|
---|
4649 | Fixed bugs:
|
---|
4650 | -----------
|
---|
4651 |
|
---|
4652 | * <available> could fail to find files or directories that happen to
|
---|
4653 | start with the name of the project's basedir but are not children of
|
---|
4654 | the basedir.
|
---|
4655 |
|
---|
4656 | * Nested <property>'s inside <ant> can now be overriden by subsequent
|
---|
4657 | <ant> and <antcall> tasks.
|
---|
4658 |
|
---|
4659 | * <xslt>'s outputtype attribute wouldn't do anything.
|
---|
4660 |
|
---|
4661 | * <linecontains> filterreader could swallow lines.
|
---|
4662 |
|
---|
4663 | * <sequential> used to configure the tasks (set their attributes)
|
---|
4664 | before the first task has been executed. This means that properties
|
---|
4665 | that have been set by nested task seemed to be unset for the other
|
---|
4666 | tasks in the same <sequential> element.
|
---|
4667 |
|
---|
4668 | * <javac>'s sourcepath setting has been ignored by some compiler
|
---|
4669 | implementations.
|
---|
4670 |
|
---|
4671 | * <javadoc>'s packagelist attribute didn't work.
|
---|
4672 |
|
---|
4673 | * the plain mailer would always use port 25 in <mail>.
|
---|
4674 |
|
---|
4675 | * Ant's default logger could swallow empty lines.
|
---|
4676 |
|
---|
4677 | * ejbjar's iPlanet nested element now can process multiple descriptors.
|
---|
4678 |
|
---|
4679 | * IPlanetEjbc was looking in the wrong place for four iiop files.
|
---|
4680 |
|
---|
4681 | * <javac> would pass the -source switch to JDK 1.3's javac, even
|
---|
4682 | though it doesn't support it.
|
---|
4683 |
|
---|
4684 | Other changes:
|
---|
4685 | --------------
|
---|
4686 |
|
---|
4687 | * <checksum> now uses a buffer (of configurable size).
|
---|
4688 |
|
---|
4689 | * The "Trying to override task definition" warning has been degraded
|
---|
4690 | to verbose level if the two task definitions only differ in the class
|
---|
4691 | loader instance that has loaded the definition.
|
---|
4692 |
|
---|
4693 | * Add a jvmargs to the ejbjar's weblogic element to allow additional
|
---|
4694 | arguments to be provided to the VM runnign ejbc. Document the
|
---|
4695 | jvmdebuglevel attribute which can be used to avoid warnings about
|
---|
4696 | interface classess being found on the classpath. Document the new
|
---|
4697 | <sysproperty> element which allows JVM properties to be defined.
|
---|
4698 | Added an outputdir attribute to allow the destination to be a
|
---|
4699 | directory into which the exploded jar is written.
|
---|
4700 |
|
---|
4701 | * ejbjar now supports Borland Enterprise Server 5 and Jonas 2.5
|
---|
4702 |
|
---|
4703 | Changes from Ant 1.5beta1 to Ant 1.5beta2
|
---|
4704 | =========================================
|
---|
4705 |
|
---|
4706 | Changes that could break older environments:
|
---|
4707 | --------------------------------------------
|
---|
4708 |
|
---|
4709 | * Properties will now be expanded in mail message bodies. This means
|
---|
4710 | that one $ sign will be stripped if your mail message contains the text $$.
|
---|
4711 |
|
---|
4712 | * org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Expand no longer extends MatchingTask.
|
---|
4713 |
|
---|
4714 | * Available#setFile now again uses a File argument as it did in 1.4,
|
---|
4715 | this may break environments that have been adapted to the String
|
---|
4716 | argument version present in 1.5beta1.
|
---|
4717 |
|
---|
4718 | Fixed bugs:
|
---|
4719 | -----------
|
---|
4720 | * When <move> attempts a rename, it deletes the destination file, if it
|
---|
4721 | exists, before renaming the source file. However, <move> was not
|
---|
4722 | checking if the destination file was actually a directory before
|
---|
4723 | trying to delete it.
|
---|
4724 |
|
---|
4725 | * Make CVS Tasks to work under Cygwin.
|
---|
4726 |
|
---|
4727 | * Fix LineContains to handle huge files elegantly without causing
|
---|
4728 | Stack Overflows.
|
---|
4729 |
|
---|
4730 | * if you ask for the "classic" compiler on Java1.4, you get upgraded to
|
---|
4731 | "modern" because there is no classic compiler any more.
|
---|
4732 |
|
---|
4733 | * the <http> condition was viewing 404 'not found' exceptions as success. Now
|
---|
4734 | it defaults to viewing any response >=400 as an error, and has an
|
---|
4735 | errorsBeginAt attribute you can use if you want a higher or lower value.
|
---|
4736 |
|
---|
4737 | * <get> throws a build exception on an http authorization error, unless you
|
---|
4738 | have set ignoreerrors to true.
|
---|
4739 |
|
---|
4740 | * <wsdltodotnet> was spelt in Wintel case: <WsdlToDotnet>. It is now lower
|
---|
4741 | case, though the old spelling is retained for anyone who used it.
|
---|
4742 |
|
---|
4743 | * Merging of Manifests in jar now works as documented.
|
---|
4744 |
|
---|
4745 | * paths that have been separated by colons would be incorrectly parsed
|
---|
4746 | on NetWare.
|
---|
4747 |
|
---|
4748 | * runant.pl now supports NetWare.
|
---|
4749 |
|
---|
4750 | * <tempfile> and <setproxy> tasks were in beta1, but not defined by
|
---|
4751 | default; They now are. <tempfile> fills a property with the name of a
|
---|
4752 | temporary file; <setproxy> lets you set the JVM's http, ftp and socks proxy
|
---|
4753 | settings.
|
---|
4754 |
|
---|
4755 | * <available classname="foo" ignoresystemclasses="true"> failed for
|
---|
4756 | JDK 1.1 and 1.2, even if the class could be found on the
|
---|
4757 | user-specified classpath.
|
---|
4758 |
|
---|
4759 | * <property environment=... /> now works on z/OS.
|
---|
4760 |
|
---|
4761 | * forked <javac> failed for the wrong reason on JDK 1.1 - Ant would
|
---|
4762 | use a temporary file to hold the names of the files to compile under
|
---|
4763 | some conditons, but 1.1 doesn't support this feature. Ant will no
|
---|
4764 | longer try this, but you may run into problems with the length of the
|
---|
4765 | command line now.
|
---|
4766 |
|
---|
4767 | * the refid attribute for <property>s nested into <ant> or <param>s
|
---|
4768 | nested into <antcall> didn't work.
|
---|
4769 |
|
---|
4770 | * <replaceregexp> didn't work for nested <fileset>s.
|
---|
4771 |
|
---|
4772 | * <javadoc> dropped sourcepath entries if no "interesting" .java
|
---|
4773 | source files could be found below them. This has been backwards
|
---|
4774 | incompatible and caused problems with custom doclets like xdoclet.
|
---|
4775 |
|
---|
4776 | * Using the doclet, docletpath or docletpathref attributes of
|
---|
4777 | <javadoc> may have caused NullPointerExceptions.
|
---|
4778 |
|
---|
4779 | * nested <filesets> of <javadoc> would include too much.
|
---|
4780 |
|
---|
4781 | * <dependset> will no longer choke on <targetfileset>s that point to
|
---|
4782 | non-existing directories.
|
---|
4783 |
|
---|
4784 | * <patch> didn't work at all.
|
---|
4785 |
|
---|
4786 | * <replace> and <replaceregexp> now fail if the file they are working
|
---|
4787 | on is locked.
|
---|
4788 |
|
---|
4789 | * <javadoc> would pick up the wrong executable in the combination JDK
|
---|
4790 | 1.2 and AIX.
|
---|
4791 |
|
---|
4792 | Other changes:
|
---|
4793 | --------------
|
---|
4794 |
|
---|
4795 | * z/OS now gets detected by the os condition.
|
---|
4796 |
|
---|
4797 | * <fileset> and <dirset> now have an optional followsymlink attribute
|
---|
4798 | that can prevent Ant from following symbolic links on some platforms.
|
---|
4799 |
|
---|
4800 | * BeanShell is now supported in the <script> task.
|
---|
4801 |
|
---|
4802 | * <ejbjar> under Weblogic attempts to use the ejbc20 compiler for 2.0 beans
|
---|
4803 | based on the deployment descriptor's DTD reference. Under weblogic 7.00 Beta
|
---|
4804 | this ejbc class has been deprecated. To avoid the deprecation warning use
|
---|
4805 | ejbcclass="weblogic.ejbc".
|
---|
4806 |
|
---|
4807 | * <ejbjar> will add a manifest to the generated jar based on the naming
|
---|
4808 | convention in use. This overrides the manifest specified in the
|
---|
4809 | <ejbjar> attribute
|
---|
4810 |
|
---|
4811 |
|
---|
4812 | Changes from Ant 1.4.1 to 1.5beta1
|
---|
4813 | ==================================
|
---|
4814 |
|
---|
4815 | Changes that could break older environments:
|
---|
4816 | --------------------------------------------
|
---|
4817 |
|
---|
4818 | * Important: Single $ signs are no longer silently stripped!
|
---|
4819 | Before you panic that we have broken all your build files, we have kept
|
---|
4820 | the old "$$" -> "$" behaviour. So only build files which accidentally had
|
---|
4821 | a $ sign in a string that was being silently stripped may break.
|
---|
4822 | We added this fix to stop newbie confusion; if you want to write a
|
---|
4823 | build file which works on ant versions 1.4.1 or earlier, stay with
|
---|
4824 | the double $$ sign rule.
|
---|
4825 |
|
---|
4826 | * Project.getBuildListeners now returns a clone of the listener
|
---|
4827 | list. Changes to the returned list will not affect the listeners
|
---|
4828 | currently attached to the Project. It also means that it is safe to
|
---|
4829 | iterate over the returned list if listeners are added or removed
|
---|
4830 | during the traversal.
|
---|
4831 |
|
---|
4832 | * <pvcs> default filenameformat has been different from Ant 1.4.1.
|
---|
4833 |
|
---|
4834 | * Some messages that are printed during startup will not be
|
---|
4835 | written to the logfile specified via -logfile as they might destroy
|
---|
4836 | the format of the file for special BuildLoggers (like XmlLogger).
|
---|
4837 |
|
---|
4838 | * The filesetmanifest attribute added to <jar> after the 1.4.1
|
---|
4839 | release has been removed for now. This change may affect only
|
---|
4840 | the 1.5Beta/1.6Alpha users. An attempt will be made to add this
|
---|
4841 | feature back into Ant 1.6.
|
---|
4842 | * Shipped XML parser is now Xerces 2.0.1 along with the XML Parser APIs.
|
---|
4843 | XML Parser APIs is a separate jar that contains the necessary
|
---|
4844 | JAXP/DOM/SAX classes.
|
---|
4845 |
|
---|
4846 | * <telnet> was fixed to expand properties inside nested <read> and
|
---|
4847 | <write> elements; before this only happened when you assigned the text
|
---|
4848 | to the string attribute. If you had $ signs in the string, they may
|
---|
4849 | need escaping.
|
---|
4850 |
|
---|
4851 | * the RegexpMatcher interface has been extended to support case
|
---|
4852 | insensitive matches and other options - custom implementations of
|
---|
4853 | this interface won't work any longer. We recommend to use the new
|
---|
4854 | Regexp interface that also supports substitution instead of the
|
---|
4855 | RegexpMatcher interface in the future.
|
---|
4856 |
|
---|
4857 | * <gzip> will throw an exception if your src attribute points to a directory.
|
---|
4858 |
|
---|
4859 | * Unjar, Unzip and Unwar will throw an exception if the Src attribute
|
---|
4860 | represents a directory. Support for nested filesets is provided
|
---|
4861 | instead.
|
---|
4862 |
|
---|
4863 | * It is no longer possible to overwrite a property using tasks like
|
---|
4864 | <condition>, <exec>, <pathconvert>, or <tstamp>. In some exceptional
|
---|
4865 | cases it will generate a warning if you attempt to overwrite an
|
---|
4866 | existing property.
|
---|
4867 |
|
---|
4868 | * Taskwriters please note: Whenever tasks had any overloaded set* methods,
|
---|
4869 | Ant's introspection mechanism would select the last overloaded method
|
---|
4870 | provided to it by the Java Runtime. A modification has now been made such
|
---|
4871 | that when the Java Runtime provides a method with a String as its argument,
|
---|
4872 | a check is made to see if there is another overloaded method that takes in
|
---|
4873 | some other type of argument. If there is one such method, then the method
|
---|
4874 | that takes in String as an argument is not selected by the Introspector.
|
---|
4875 |
|
---|
4876 | * The pattern definition **/._* has been included into the Default
|
---|
4877 | Excludes list.
|
---|
4878 |
|
---|
4879 | * <propertyfile>'s <entry> element was modified to remove "never" as a value
|
---|
4880 | as its behavior was undocumented and flakey.
|
---|
4881 |
|
---|
4882 | * The -projecthelp flag now only prints out targets that include the
|
---|
4883 | 'description' attribute, unless the -verbose or -debug flag is included
|
---|
4884 | on the Ant command line.
|
---|
4885 |
|
---|
4886 | * Ant's testcases now require JUnit 3.7 or above, as they now use the new
|
---|
4887 | assertTrue method instead of assert.
|
---|
4888 |
|
---|
4889 | * If the 'output' attribute of <ant> is set to a simple filename or a
|
---|
4890 | relative path, the file is created relative to ${basedir}, not ${user.dir}.
|
---|
4891 |
|
---|
4892 | * The default value for build.compiler is now javac1.x with x
|
---|
4893 | depending on the JDK that is running Ant instead of classic/modern.
|
---|
4894 |
|
---|
4895 | Fixed bugs:
|
---|
4896 | -----------
|
---|
4897 |
|
---|
4898 | * <available> could fail to find files or directories that happen to
|
---|
4899 | start with the name of the project's basedir but are not children of
|
---|
4900 | the basedir.
|
---|
4901 |
|
---|
4902 | * Nested <property>'s inside <ant> can now be overriden by subsequent
|
---|
4903 | <ant> and <antcall> tasks.
|
---|
4904 |
|
---|
4905 | * <xslt>'s outputtype attribute wouldn't do anything.
|
---|
4906 |
|
---|
4907 | * <linecontains> filterreader could swallow lines.
|
---|
4908 |
|
---|
4909 | * <sequential> used to configure the tasks (set their attributes)
|
---|
4910 | before the first task has been executed. This means that properties
|
---|
4911 | that have been set by nested task seemed to be unset for the other
|
---|
4912 | tasks in the same <sequential> element.
|
---|
4913 |
|
---|
4914 | * <javac>'s sourcepath setting has been ignored by some compiler
|
---|
4915 | implementations.
|
---|
4916 |
|
---|
4917 | * <javadoc>'s packagelist attribute didn't work.
|
---|
4918 |
|
---|
4919 | * the plain mailer would always use port 25 in <mail>.
|
---|
4920 |
|
---|
4921 | * Ant's default logger could swallow empty lines.
|
---|
4922 |
|
---|
4923 | * ejbjar's iPlanet nested element now can process multiple descriptors.
|
---|
4924 |
|
---|
4925 | * IPlanetEjbc was looking in the wrong place for four iiop files.
|
---|
4926 |
|
---|
4927 | * <javac> would pass the -source switch to JDK 1.3's javac, even
|
---|
4928 | though it doesn't support it.
|
---|
4929 |
|
---|
4930 | * <zip> and friends would always update existing archive if you set
|
---|
4931 | the update attribute to true.
|
---|
4932 |
|
---|
4933 | * To support backward compatibility with older versions, <pathconvert>
|
---|
4934 | will once again set the property, even if the result is the empty
|
---|
4935 | string, unless the new 'setonempty' attribute is set to false|no|off
|
---|
4936 | (default is "true").
|
---|
4937 |
|
---|
4938 | * The manifest task would crash XmlLogger
|
---|
4939 |
|
---|
4940 | * A bug existed that prevented generated log files from being deleted as
|
---|
4941 | part of the build process itself. This has now been fixed.
|
---|
4942 |
|
---|
4943 | * Fixed bug where <move> ignored <filterset>s.
|
---|
4944 |
|
---|
4945 | * Ant works properly with the combination of Java1.4/WindowsXP.
|
---|
4946 |
|
---|
4947 | * Fixed bug where <java> used to sometimes invoke class constructors twice.
|
---|
4948 |
|
---|
4949 | * Fixed bug with 4NT shell support.
|
---|
4950 |
|
---|
4951 | * Fixed bug where ant would not perform ftp without remotedir being
|
---|
4952 | specified even though this was not mandatory.
|
---|
4953 |
|
---|
4954 | * Fixed bug where ant would not copy system properties into new Project
|
---|
4955 | in ant/antcall tasks when inheritall="false" is set.
|
---|
4956 |
|
---|
4957 | * <propertyfile> would not close the original property file.
|
---|
4958 |
|
---|
4959 | * <ant> will no longer override a subbuild's basedir with inheritall="true".
|
---|
4960 |
|
---|
4961 | * Fixed problem with the built-in <junit> formatters which assumed
|
---|
4962 | that only one test could be running at the same time - this is not
|
---|
4963 | necessarily true, see junit.extensions.ActiveTestSuite.
|
---|
4964 |
|
---|
4965 | * <jar>'s whenEmpty attribute is useless as JARs are never empty, they
|
---|
4966 | contain at least a manifest file, therefore it will now print a
|
---|
4967 | warning and do nothing.
|
---|
4968 |
|
---|
4969 | * <typedef> hasn't been all that useful as it couldn't be used outside
|
---|
4970 | of targets (it can now) and nested "unknown" elements have always
|
---|
4971 | been considered to be tasks (changed as well).
|
---|
4972 |
|
---|
4973 | * <fixcrlf> would fail for files that contained lines longer than 8kB.
|
---|
4974 |
|
---|
4975 | * Some junit formatters incorrectly assumed that all testcases would
|
---|
4976 | inherit from junit.framework.TestCase.
|
---|
4977 |
|
---|
4978 | * <fixcrlf> dropped the first characters from Mac files.
|
---|
4979 |
|
---|
4980 | Other changes:
|
---|
4981 | --------------
|
---|
4982 |
|
---|
4983 | * <checksum> now uses a buffer (of configurable size).
|
---|
4984 |
|
---|
4985 | * The "Trying to override task definition" warning has been degraded
|
---|
4986 | to verbose level if the two task definitions only differ in the class
|
---|
4987 | loader instance that has loaded the definition.
|
---|
4988 |
|
---|
4989 | * Add a jvmargs to the ejbjar's weblogic element to allow additional
|
---|
4990 | arguments to be provided to the VM runnign ejbc. Document the
|
---|
4991 | jvmdebuglevel attribute which can be used to avoid warnings about
|
---|
4992 | interface classess being found on the classpath. Document the new
|
---|
4993 | <sysproperty> element which allows JVM properties to be defined.
|
---|
4994 | Added an outputdir attribute to allow the destination to be a
|
---|
4995 | directory into which the exploded jar is written.
|
---|
4996 |
|
---|
4997 | * ejbjar now supports Borland Enterprise Server 5 and Jonas 2.5
|
---|
4998 |
|
---|
4999 | * added **/.svn and **/.svn/** to the default excludes.
|
---|
5000 |
|
---|
5001 | * Selector Elements now provide a way to create filesets based on
|
---|
5002 | sophisticated selection criteria.
|
---|
5003 |
|
---|
5004 | * Gzip and Bzip2 files can now be constructed in the fly when using
|
---|
5005 | the tar task without having to create the intermediate tar file on
|
---|
5006 | disk. The Untar task can also untar GZip and BZip2 files on the fly
|
---|
5007 | without creating the intermediate tar file.
|
---|
5008 |
|
---|
5009 | * New optional type, <classfileset> added.
|
---|
5010 |
|
---|
5011 | * <ejbjar> now allows control over which additional classes and interfaces
|
---|
5012 | are added to the generated EJB jars. A new attribute "dependency" can be
|
---|
5013 | defined which controls what classes are added. The addition of classes now
|
---|
5014 | uses the Jakarta-BCEL library rather than reflection, meaning bean classes are
|
---|
5015 | no longer loaded into Ant's JVM. The default dependency analyzer is known as
|
---|
5016 | the ancestor analyzer. It provides the same behaviour as the 1.4.1 version of
|
---|
5017 | <ejbjar>. If the BCEL library is not present, a warning will be issued stating
|
---|
5018 | the ancestor analyzer is not available. In this case <ejbjar> will continue
|
---|
5019 | to function but will not add super classes to the jar.
|
---|
5020 |
|
---|
5021 | * <available> has a new attribute named ignoreSystemClasses.
|
---|
5022 |
|
---|
5023 | * New task <cvschangelog/> generates an XML report of changes that occur
|
---|
5024 | on CVS repository.
|
---|
5025 |
|
---|
5026 | * New filter readers: ClassConstants, ExpandProperties, HeadFilter,
|
---|
5027 | LineContains, LineContainsRegExp, PrefixLines, ReplaceTokens,
|
---|
5028 | StripJavaComments, StripLineBreaks, StripLineComments, TabsToSpaces,
|
---|
5029 | TailFilter.
|
---|
5030 |
|
---|
5031 | * <copy>, <loadfile>, <loadproperties>, <move> support FilterChains
|
---|
5032 | of FilterReaders.
|
---|
5033 |
|
---|
5034 | * New task <loadproperties> to load contents of file as Ant properties,
|
---|
5035 | with nested <filterchain> elements.
|
---|
5036 |
|
---|
5037 | * New task <loadfile> to load a whole file into a property.
|
---|
5038 |
|
---|
5039 | * New task <echoproperties> to list your current properties to the screen
|
---|
5040 | or a file.
|
---|
5041 |
|
---|
5042 | * New tasks <bzip2> and <bunzip2> to pack and unpack files using the
|
---|
5043 | BZip2 alogrithm.
|
---|
5044 |
|
---|
5045 | * New tasks <replaceregexp>, <checksum>, <translate>, <waitfor>,
|
---|
5046 | <manifest>, <vsscp>, <vssadd>, <vsscreate>, <splash>, <basename>, <dirname>,
|
---|
5047 | <concat>, <sourceoffsite>, <jarlib-available>, <jarlib-display>,
|
---|
5048 | <jarlib-manifest>, <jarlib-resolve>.
|
---|
5049 |
|
---|
5050 | * A new combined <mail> task, which replaces the old <mail> and
|
---|
5051 | <mimemail> tasks, has been added. The <mimemail> task, and
|
---|
5052 | old SendEmail and MimeMail classes have been deprecated.
|
---|
5053 |
|
---|
5054 | * Mail task allows specification of port number.
|
---|
5055 |
|
---|
5056 | * Users can control what <zip> and <jar> must do when duplicate files
|
---|
5057 | are found. A new element <zipgroupfileset> allows for multiple zip
|
---|
5058 | files to be merged into the archive. In addition, <jar> also has
|
---|
5059 | another new attribute: filesetmanifest. The existing manifest
|
---|
5060 | attribute of <jar> now also accepts the name of a jar added through
|
---|
5061 | a fileset.
|
---|
5062 |
|
---|
5063 | * gzip now checks that the zipfile is older than the source file
|
---|
5064 | before rebuilding the zipfile.
|
---|
5065 |
|
---|
5066 | * TarFileset takes in three new attributes - fullpath, prefix
|
---|
5067 | and preserveLeadingSlashes.
|
---|
5068 |
|
---|
5069 | * <move> attempts to rename the directory, if everything inside it is
|
---|
5070 | included, before performing file-by-file moves. This attempt will
|
---|
5071 | be done only if filtering is off and if mappers are not used. This
|
---|
5072 | is a performance improvement and there is no change otherwise in
|
---|
5073 | the functionality of this task.
|
---|
5074 |
|
---|
5075 | * Exec task has extra attribute "resultproperty" to get the return code
|
---|
5076 | into a property.
|
---|
5077 |
|
---|
5078 | * Exec task prints a message when a timed-out process is killed.
|
---|
5079 |
|
---|
5080 | * Added optional attributes - name, arch and version to the <os> task.
|
---|
5081 |
|
---|
5082 | * Unjar, Untar, Unwar and Unzip now support patternsets to
|
---|
5083 | select files from an archive for extraction. Filesets may be
|
---|
5084 | used to select archived files for unarchival.
|
---|
5085 |
|
---|
5086 | * Javac task allows debug levels to be specified. Debug levels
|
---|
5087 | will have an effect only when the modern compiler or the
|
---|
5088 | classic compiler (version 1.2 and higher) is used and debugging
|
---|
5089 | is enabled.
|
---|
5090 |
|
---|
5091 | * Added support for specifying CVS_RSH in the <cvs/> task
|
---|
5092 |
|
---|
5093 | * The attributes zipfile, jarfile, warfile and earfile (from the Zip,
|
---|
5094 | Jar, War and Ear tasks) have been deprecated and superseded by a
|
---|
5095 | new attribute "destfile".
|
---|
5096 |
|
---|
5097 | * Added new conditions <isset>, <checksum>, <http>, <socket>, <contains>,
|
---|
5098 | <filesmatch>.
|
---|
5099 |
|
---|
5100 | * <taskdef> and <typedef> will now emit a warning if a task/type of
|
---|
5101 | the given name already exists.
|
---|
5102 |
|
---|
5103 | * A new revision of VAJ tasks: The most important new feature
|
---|
5104 | is the ability to execute VAJ tasks from the command line by
|
---|
5105 | exploiting the Remote Tool Access feature of VAJ.
|
---|
5106 |
|
---|
5107 | * Improved support for Novell NetWare.
|
---|
5108 |
|
---|
5109 | * Added an optional encoding attribute to <fixcrlf>.
|
---|
5110 |
|
---|
5111 | * <apply> has a new attribute relative that allows users to pass the
|
---|
5112 | filenames as relative instead of absolute paths on the command line.
|
---|
5113 |
|
---|
5114 | * References can now be copied into the child build by <ant> and
|
---|
5115 | <antcall> using nested <reference> elements or the new inheritRefs
|
---|
5116 | attribute.
|
---|
5117 |
|
---|
5118 | * <fail> now supports builds to fail based on conditions via if and
|
---|
5119 | unless attributes.
|
---|
5120 |
|
---|
5121 | * Ant now comes with two new BuildLogger implementations - one that
|
---|
5122 | can send emails containing a log of the build process (MailLogger),
|
---|
5123 | and one that colorizes the output based on message levels, using
|
---|
5124 | ANSI color code escape sequences (AnsiColorLogger).
|
---|
5125 |
|
---|
5126 | * A "package" mapper type has been added to allow package directory
|
---|
5127 | names replaced with the dotted form.
|
---|
5128 |
|
---|
5129 | * You can now specify environment variables in the <java> and <junit> tasks
|
---|
5130 | if the fork attribute has been set to true.
|
---|
5131 |
|
---|
5132 | * -propertyfile command-line option has been added to load an entire
|
---|
5133 | property file just as -D properties are declared (as user properties).
|
---|
5134 | -D properties take precedence over -propertyfile specified ones.
|
---|
5135 |
|
---|
5136 | * You can now set an ANT_ARGS environment variable to hold arguments you
|
---|
5137 | always want passed to the 'ant' command -- for example, if you always
|
---|
5138 | want to use a different logger or the -find flag.
|
---|
5139 |
|
---|
5140 | * <tstamp> now supports a new "prefix" attribute to prefix properties set.
|
---|
5141 |
|
---|
5142 | * You can now specify the -sourcepath for <javac> explicitly.
|
---|
5143 |
|
---|
5144 | * <javac> now supports a new "listfiles" attribute to list the source
|
---|
5145 | files it's handing off to the compiler.
|
---|
5146 |
|
---|
5147 | * The compiler implementation for <javac> can now be chosen on a task by
|
---|
5148 | task basis. The new "compiler" attribute of <javac> can be used to override
|
---|
5149 | the value of the build.compiler property, if set.
|
---|
5150 |
|
---|
5151 | * <javac> has a new nested element, <compilerarg>, which allows you
|
---|
5152 | to specify additional args for the specific compiler you're using.
|
---|
5153 |
|
---|
5154 | * <javac>'s "source" attribute is now enabled for jikes as well.
|
---|
5155 |
|
---|
5156 | * <propertyfile>'s <entry> now has a 'unit' attribute to specify the
|
---|
5157 | increment/decrement unit on date operations.
|
---|
5158 |
|
---|
5159 | * <property> now supports a 'prefix' attribute when loading from a file
|
---|
5160 | or resource.
|
---|
5161 |
|
---|
5162 | * In Ant 1.4, a feature has been added to the <junit> task that would
|
---|
5163 | add ant.jar, optional.jar and junit.jar implicitly to the classpath -
|
---|
5164 | this feature can now be disabled by setting the new includeantruntime
|
---|
5165 | attribute to false.
|
---|
5166 |
|
---|
5167 | * <style> behaves differently from any other directory-based task, as it
|
---|
5168 | processes all files that it finds in included directories in
|
---|
5169 | addition to the files matched by your patterns. There is now a new
|
---|
5170 | attribute, 'scanincludeddirectories', to suppress this behavior.
|
---|
5171 |
|
---|
5172 | * <javadoc> now supports a <tag> nested element to provide the -tag option
|
---|
5173 | to the standard Java 1.4 doclet. The element is ignored when not running
|
---|
5174 | on Java 1.4.
|
---|
5175 |
|
---|
5176 | * <ftp> can now chmod files on a remote server that supports
|
---|
5177 | "site chmod", as well as set the umask before transferring files, if
|
---|
5178 | the server supports "site umask".
|
---|
5179 |
|
---|
5180 | * New <serverdeploy> "optional" task.
|
---|
5181 |
|
---|
5182 | * <patternset> now supports nested patternsets.
|
---|
5183 |
|
---|
5184 | * Perforce tasks now support a "failonerror" attribute (defaults to "true").
|
---|
5185 |
|
---|
5186 | * Open Source application server JOnAS support:
|
---|
5187 | EJB hot deploy and deploy with <serverdeploy> and <ejbjar>
|
---|
5188 |
|
---|
5189 | * Added new DirSet (<dirset>) datatype.
|
---|
5190 |
|
---|
5191 | * <path> now supports nested <dirset> and <filelist> elements.
|
---|
5192 |
|
---|
5193 | * <pathconvert> now supports nested <dirset> and <filelist> elements.
|
---|
5194 |
|
---|
5195 | * <pathconvert>'s "dirsep" and "pathsep" attributes now accept
|
---|
5196 | multi-character values.
|
---|
5197 |
|
---|
5198 | * <copy> task now has a 'failonerror' attribute to allow keep-going
|
---|
5199 | behaviour when the file to be copied is not found (defaults to "true").
|
---|
5200 |
|
---|
5201 | * <uptodate> now has a 'srcfile' attribute to allow specifying a
|
---|
5202 | full-path filename.
|
---|
5203 |
|
---|
5204 | * <exec>, <sql> and <java> now support append attributes to allow
|
---|
5205 | appending the output to an existing file.
|
---|
5206 |
|
---|
5207 | * <java> now supports a timeout attribute analog to <exec> - it is
|
---|
5208 | highly recommended to only use it together with fork="true".
|
---|
5209 |
|
---|
5210 | * <javadoc> now supports a source attribute to enable javadoc to
|
---|
5211 | handle assertions present in JDK 1.4 source code.
|
---|
5212 |
|
---|
5213 | * <replace> supports a new replacefilterfile attribute that
|
---|
5214 | automatically turns all properties of a given file into
|
---|
5215 | replacefilters.
|
---|
5216 |
|
---|
5217 | * An alias of <xslt> has been added to refer to the <style> task.
|
---|
5218 |
|
---|
5219 | * The compiler implementation for <rmic> can now be chosen on a task by
|
---|
5220 | task basis. The new "compiler" attribute of <rmic> can be used to override
|
---|
5221 | the value of the build.rmic property, if set.
|
---|
5222 |
|
---|
5223 | * <rmic> has a new nested element, <compilerarg>, which allows you
|
---|
5224 | to specify additional args for the specific compiler you're using.
|
---|
5225 |
|
---|
5226 | * org.apache.tools.ant.XmlLogger now is a BuildLogger, rather than just
|
---|
5227 | a BuildListener. It can operate in either mode successfully.
|
---|
5228 |
|
---|
5229 | * <junit> has a new attribute "showoutput". If set to true, output
|
---|
5230 | generated by tests will be sent to Ant's logging system as well as
|
---|
5231 | to the formatters (instead of sending it to the formatters
|
---|
5232 | exclusively).
|
---|
5233 |
|
---|
5234 | * Ant has now a pluggable way to prompt users for input, which is used
|
---|
5235 | by the new <input> task. IDE integrators can provide an
|
---|
5236 | implementation of the InputHandler interface to decouple Ant's input
|
---|
5237 | from the console. An implementation that gets its input from a file
|
---|
5238 | for unattended builds is part of Ant's distribution.
|
---|

|
---|
5240 | For more details see docs/manual/inputhandler.html.
|
---|
5241 |
|
---|
5242 | * <patch> has a new attribute that selects the directory in which to
|
---|
5243 | run the command.
|
---|
5244 |
|
---|
5245 | * <javadoc> now supports two new nested elements, <fileset> and <packageset>.
|
---|

|
---|
5248 | Changes from Ant 1.4 to Ant 1.4.1
|
---|
5249 | ===========================================
|
---|
5250 |
|
---|
5251 | Fixed bugs:
|
---|
5252 | -----------
|
---|
5253 |
|
---|
5254 | * <ant>'s antfile attribute will now also be considered an absolute path on
|
---|
5255 | Windows systems, if it starts with a \ and no drive specifier.
|
---|
5256 |
|
---|
5257 | * The fullpath attribute of <zipfileset> has been ignored if you used
|
---|
5258 | the src attribute at the same time.
|
---|
5259 |
|
---|
5260 | * The manifest file is now always placed as the second entry (after /META-INF)
|
---|
5261 | in generated jars. This allows the manifest to be read by JarInputStreams
|
---|
5262 |
|
---|
5263 | * Fixed bug in depend task which would fail with a NullPointerException if no
|
---|
5264 | dependency cache was specified.
|
---|
5265 |
|
---|
5266 | * sql task now handles REM statements correctly so that lines starying with rem
|
---|
5267 | but which are not comments are actually processed.
|
---|
5268 |
|
---|
5269 | * XMLLogger now uses the task's name rather than the classname
|
---|
5270 |
|
---|
5271 | * <mapper>s will now work as expected if the to pattern expands to an
|
---|
5272 | absolute pathname.
|
---|
5273 |
|
---|
5274 | * <javac> didn't ignore memory settings in non-fork mode
|
---|
5275 |
|
---|
5276 | * <cab> didn't split the options attribute into several command line
|
---|
5277 | arguments correctly.
|
---|
5278 |
|
---|
5279 | Other changes:
|
---|
5280 | --------------
|
---|
5281 |
|
---|
5282 | * New source attribute for <javac> to enable assertion in JDK 1.4
|
---|
5283 |
|
---|
5284 | * XmlLogger and <antstructure> now add an encoding declaration to the
|
---|
5285 | XML files they generate.
|
---|
5286 |
|
---|
5287 | * <fileset> has a new attribute "casesensitive" to make it match
|
---|
5288 | filenames in a case insensitive way (if you set it to false) - by
|
---|
5289 | default filesets remain case sensitive.
|
---|
5290 |
|
---|
5291 | Changes from Ant 1.3 to Ant 1.4
|
---|
5292 | ===========================================
|
---|
5293 |
|
---|
5294 | Changes that could break older environments:
|
---|
5295 | --------------------------------------------
|
---|
5296 | * JUnitReport now uses the xalan redirect extension for multi-output.
|
---|
5297 | With Xalan 1.2.2 it forces the use of bsf.jar in the classpath.
|
---|
5298 | (Available in the xalan distribution). It is recommended to switch
|
---|
5299 | to Xalan 2.x that do not need it.
|
---|
5300 |
|
---|
5301 | * Zip.setWhenempty() has changed its signature.
|
---|
5302 |
|
---|
5303 | * <rmic> is now implemented using a factory. This makes extending
|
---|
5304 | rmic to use a new compiler a lot easier but may break custom
|
---|
5305 | versions of this task that rely on the old implementation.
|
---|
5306 |
|
---|
5307 | * several Zip methods have changed their signature as we now use a Zip
|
---|
5308 | package of our own that handles Unix permissions for directories.
|
---|
5309 | Furthermore <zip> will now use the platform's default character
|
---|
5310 | encoding for filenames - this is consistent with the command line
|
---|
5311 | ZIP tools, but causes problems if you try to open them from within
|
---|
5312 | Java and your filenames contain non US-ASCII characters. Use the new
|
---|
5313 | encoding attribute of the task and set it to UTF8 to get the old
|
---|
5314 | behavior.
|
---|
5315 |
|
---|
5316 | * The <pvcs> task has been moved to a package of its own.
|
---|
5317 |
|
---|
5318 | * JUnitResultFormater has two additional methods that must be
|
---|
5319 | implemented by custom formatters.
|
---|
5320 |
|
---|
5321 | * Ant will no longer use the canonical version of a path internally -
|
---|
5322 | this may yield different results on filesystems that support
|
---|
5323 | symbolic links.
|
---|
5324 |
|
---|
5325 | * The output generated by the xml formatter for <junit> has changed
|
---|
5326 | again, it doesn't format the numeric value in the time attribute anymore.
|
---|
5327 |
|
---|
5328 | * Pattern matching rules have changes slightly, the pattern foo*
|
---|
5329 | doesn't match files contained in a directory named foo - use foo/*
|
---|
5330 | instead.
|
---|
5331 |
|
---|
5332 | * <fixcrlf> will not remove trailing whitespace at the end of lines anymore.
|
---|
5333 |
|
---|
5334 | * The Classloader usage has been changed for the taskdef, property, available
|
---|
5335 | and sql tasks so that it delegates to the parent classloader. This may cause
|
---|
5336 | ClassNotFoundExceptions to be thrown if a system class attempts to load a
|
---|
5337 | class in the taskdef's classpath (typically factory objects).
|
---|
5338 |
|
---|
5339 | * Ant now allows multithreading of tasks and the containment of tasks within
|
---|
5340 | other tasks. This can break customer listeners which do not expect messages
|
---|
5341 | from a task before the previous task has finished.
|
---|
5342 |
|
---|
5343 | * Ant now installs its own ouput stream into System.out to route output to the
|
---|
5344 | task currently executing on the current thread. This also means that all
|
---|
5345 | output is now routed as Ant message events. Customer listeners and loggers
|
---|
5346 | should not call System.out at any time. This has always been true but such
|
---|
5347 | usage now will cause problems due to possible recursion.
|
---|
5348 |
|
---|
5349 | * Invalid manifest files will now cause build failures in the <jar> task.
|
---|
5350 |
|
---|
5351 | * Ant Introspection now looks for methods with method names starting with
|
---|
5352 | addConfigured. When called these methods are passed an argument after it has
|
---|
5353 | been configured from the build file. Custom tasks supporting nested elements
|
---|
5354 | starting with the name configured will no longer function.
|
---|
5355 |
|
---|
5356 | * The environment variable JAVACMD that can be used to specify the
|
---|
5357 | java executable to Ant's wrapper scripts must not contain additional
|
---|
5358 | command line parameters any longer - please use the environment
|
---|
5359 | variable ANT_OPTS for such parameters now.
|
---|
5360 |
|
---|
5361 | * Ant's wrapper scripts now quote the CLASSPATH environment variable, thus
|
---|
5362 | supporting classpaths which refer to directories containing spaces. This means
|
---|
5363 | that the CLASSPATH environment variable cannot have quotes. Any quotes should
|
---|
5364 | be removed. This will not affect the operation of the CLASSPATH environment
|
---|
5365 | variable in other contexts.
|
---|
5366 |
|
---|
5367 | * A delete task like
|
---|
5368 | <delete includeEmptyFilesets="true">
|
---|
5369 | <fileset dir="somedir" />
|
---|
5370 | </delete>
|
---|
5371 | will now remove "somedir" as well, unless there are still files left
|
---|
5372 | in it (matched by the default excludes).
|
---|
5373 |
|
---|
5374 | * The copy task will now fail if the file to be copied is not found.
|
---|
5375 |
|
---|
5376 | * Ant properties defined in properties files now behave the same way as
|
---|
5377 | properties defined in the build file. In particular the $ character needs
|
---|
5378 | to be escaped in property values by doubling it to $$. So, to define a
|
---|
5379 | property with the value $hello, you need to define it in a properties file
|
---|
5380 | as
|
---|
5381 | test.prop=$$hello
|
---|
5382 | This was not the case in Ant 1.3
|
---|
5383 |
|
---|
5384 | Other changes:
|
---|
5385 | --------------
|
---|
5386 |
|
---|
5387 | * New tasks: ear, p4counter, record, cvspass, vsscheckin, vsscheckout,
|
---|
5388 | typedef, sleep, mimemail, set of tasks for Continuus/Synergy, dependset,
|
---|
5389 | condition, maudit, mmetrics, jpcoverage, jpcovreport, jpcovmerge
|
---|
5390 |
|
---|
5391 | * Ant now uses JAXP 1.1
|
---|
5392 |
|
---|
5393 | * rmic now supports Kaffe's and Weblogic's version of rmic.
|
---|
5394 |
|
---|
5395 | * new magic property build.rmic to chose the rmic implementation
|
---|
5396 |
|
---|
5397 | * <tar> will now add empty directories as well
|
---|
5398 |
|
---|
5399 | * you can now specify a description for <p4change>
|
---|
5400 |
|
---|
5401 | * <touch> can now work on <fileset>s
|
---|
5402 |
|
---|
5403 | * <uptodate> now supports a value attribute
|
---|
5404 |
|
---|
5405 | * <fail> supports nested text
|
---|
5406 |
|
---|
5407 | * <fixcrlf> won't override files that are already in the correct
|
---|
5408 | format.
|
---|
5409 |
|
---|
5410 | * <sql> now supports REM comments as well as // and --
|
---|
5411 |
|
---|
5412 | * <jar> now has a nested <metainf> element following the same idea as
|
---|
5413 | <war>'s <webinf>.
|
---|
5414 |
|
---|
5415 | * <pvcs> can now handle multiple projects.
|
---|
5416 |
|
---|
5417 | * <available> now has a "type" attribute you can use in conjunction
|
---|
5418 | with the "file" attribute to specify whether the "file" you're
|
---|
5419 | looking for is a file or a directory.
|
---|
5420 |
|
---|
5421 | * New <junit> formatter named "brief"
|
---|
5422 |
|
---|
5423 | * <ejbjar> changes
|
---|
5424 | * Add support for Borland Application Server to the <ejbjar> task using
|
---|
5425 | a <borland> nested element.
|
---|
5426 | * Add support for iPlanet Application Server to the <ejbjar> task. Also
|
---|
5427 | includes some iPlanet utility tasks
|
---|
5428 | * Add support for JBoss Application Server to the <ejbjar> task.
|
---|
5429 | * Add a naming attribute to control the naming scheme that
|
---|
5430 | ejbjar uses to name the generated EJB jars.
|
---|
5431 | * Weblogic element now sets the compiler class for EJB 2.0 beans
|
---|
5432 | * <dtd> elements can be specified at the <ejbjar> level for building generic
|
---|
5433 | beans
|
---|
5434 | * <dtd> elements can now be URLs
|
---|
5435 | * Allow the manifest to be specified for the generated jars
|
---|
5436 | * The weblogic element now supprts an attribte noEJBC to skip the processing
|
---|
5437 | of the jar by ejbc. The ejbc step will then occur at deployment
|
---|
5438 | * weblogic will tell ejbc to use Jikes compiler if build.compiler is set to
|
---|
5439 | jikes. It can be restored to the default, javac, operation if desired.
|
---|
5440 |
|
---|
5441 | * Allow the <sql> Delimiter to be set in the so that Oracle stored procs may be
|
---|
5442 | entered
|
---|
5443 |
|
---|
5444 | * <execon> and <apply> can now optionally skip empty filesets.
|
---|
5445 |
|
---|
5446 | * <javadoc> has a new useexternalfile attribute that makes it use a
|
---|
5447 | temporary file for sourcefile and package names - helps to defeat
|
---|
5448 | command line length limitations.
|
---|
5449 |
|
---|
5450 | * Data types like <path> can now be defined inside of <target>s
|
---|
5451 |
|
---|
5452 | * you can now specify a classpath for <style> - the XSLZ processor
|
---|
5453 | will be loaded from this path
|
---|
5454 |
|
---|
5455 | * added a force attribute to <style> to support dependencies that the
|
---|
5456 | task cannot determine itself (dependency on parameters, not file
|
---|
5457 | modification times for example)
|
---|
5458 |
|
---|
5459 | * added vmlauncher attribute to exec tasks. This defaults to true. If
|
---|
5460 | it is set to false, the VM's ability to launch commands in bypassed
|
---|
5461 | and the OS shell, either directly or through the auxillary antRun
|
---|
5462 | scripts is used.
|
---|
5463 |
|
---|
5464 | * regexp mapper now supports the java.util.regex package of JDK 1.4.
|
---|
5465 |
|
---|
5466 | * New filesonly attribute for <zip> and friends to suppress directory
|
---|
5467 | entries.
|
---|
5468 |
|
---|
5469 | * New update attribute for <zip> and friends - update an existing
|
---|
5470 | archive instead of creating a new one.
|
---|
5471 |
|
---|
5472 | * <apply> and <execon> have been merged into a single task.
|
---|
5473 |
|
---|
5474 | * added vssver.scc to the default excludes
|
---|
5475 |
|
---|
5476 | * <available> has a new filepath attribute/nested element that allows
|
---|
5477 | you top search for a file in a given path.
|
---|
5478 |
|
---|
5479 | * <junit> can now optionally set a property on test failure.
|
---|
5480 |
|
---|
5481 | * <taskdef> can now define several tasks at once, reading the
|
---|
5482 | name/classname pairs from a property file or resource.
|
---|
5483 |
|
---|
5484 | * <unzip/unjar/unwar> and <untar> now have an overwrite attribute that
|
---|
5485 | defaults to true. If set to false, files that are newer than the
|
---|
5486 | files in the archive will not be replaced.
|
---|
5487 |
|
---|
5488 | * <patternset> and <fileset> now support nested <in/excludesfile>
|
---|
5489 | elements - using these you can have more than one in/excludes file
|
---|
5490 | per <patternset>.
|
---|
5491 |
|
---|
5492 | * Three new supported compilers for javac: kjc for kopi, gcj for the
|
---|
5493 | gcc frontend and sj for Symantec's compiler.
|
---|
5494 | In addition extJavac or the new fork attribute can be
|
---|
5495 | used to run the JDK's javac in a JVM separate from Ant.
|
---|
5496 |
|
---|
5497 | * <fixrlf> can now with CR only line-ends and can use an arbitraty
|
---|
5498 | between 2 and 80.
|
---|
5499 |
|
---|
5500 | * The .NET tasks have been adapted to the beta2 release of the framework.
|
---|
5501 |
|
---|
5502 | * <move> will now try to rename() files before copying them byte by
|
---|
5503 | byte - only if filtering is of, of course.
|
---|
5504 |
|
---|
5505 | * <ant> and <antcall> tasks now support a new attribute inheritAll. When set to
|
---|
5506 | false, only user properties are passed through to the target Ant instance.
|
---|
5507 | This includes properties set on the command line and properties explicitly
|
---|
5508 | passed
|
---|
5509 |
|
---|
5510 | * <javadoc> now skips off line links if the package list cannot be found.
|
---|
5511 |
|
---|
5512 | * <wlrun> now allows the security policy file to exist outside the weblogic
|
---|
5513 | directory.
|
---|
5514 |
|
---|
5515 | * <java> task will set the Thread contextClassLoader under JDKs 1.2+ to the
|
---|
5516 | classloader for the class being executed.
|
---|
5517 |
|
---|
5518 | * Introduce the concept of a TaskContainer - a task or element which can contain
|
---|
5519 | Ant Tasks.
|
---|
5520 |
|
---|
5521 | * Add new tasks implementing the TaskContainer interface <parallel> and
|
---|
5522 | <sequential> which allow parallel execution of tasks to be specified.
|
---|
5523 |
|
---|
5524 | * <depend> task will now take into account dependencies on jar files and class
|
---|
5525 | files from a given classpath.
|
---|
5526 |
|
---|
5527 | * <jar> manifest entries may now be specified in the build file either
|
---|
5528 | completely or to be merged with a manifest file.
|
---|
5529 |
|
---|
5530 | * <tstamp> task custom formats now support locales.
|
---|
5531 |
|
---|
5532 | * Added a listner which will forward events to Log4J. The log4j configuration
|
---|
5533 | file should be in the directory from which Ant is run or passed as a system
|
---|
5534 | property using a JVM argument.
|
---|
5535 |
|
---|
5536 | * Introduced the concept of <filtersets> to allow for more control in which
|
---|
5537 | filters get applied in a <copy> or <move> operation.
|
---|
5538 |
|
---|
5539 | * Added nowarn attribute to javac and deprecated the Jikes-magic property
|
---|
5540 | build.compiler.warnings.
|
---|
5541 |
|
---|
5542 | * The <depend> task cache format has changed and all dependency information is
|
---|
5543 | now stored in a single file.
|
---|
5544 |
|
---|
5545 | Fixed bugs:
|
---|
5546 | -----------
|
---|
5547 |
|
---|
5548 | * Testcases have been made independent of current working directory.
|
---|
5549 |
|
---|
5550 | * Input ZIP-Files will be closed when using a <zipfileset>.
|
---|
5551 |
|
---|
5552 | * p4 tasks now don't fail if user, port or client have been omitted
|
---|
5553 | (and this is acceptable for the context of the command).
|
---|
5554 |
|
---|
5555 | * <javah>'s outputfile attribute will be resolved as relative to the
|
---|
5556 | projects basedir.
|
---|
5557 |
|
---|
5558 | * <antstructure> should create a valid DTD for propertyfile.operation.entry
|
---|
5559 | and omit tasks it fails to load.
|
---|
5560 |
|
---|
5561 | * won't try to pass a -bootclasspath flag to javac 1.1 anymore
|
---|
5562 |
|
---|
5563 | * <style>'s style attribute no handles absolute paths correctly.
|
---|
5564 |
|
---|
5565 | * <delete includeemptydirs="true"> now deletes more than just the leaf
|
---|
5566 | directories.
|
---|
5567 |
|
---|
5568 | * You can now specify a <fileset> for a directory that doesn't exist at
|
---|
5569 | declaration time but will created before the fileset gets used for the
|
---|
5570 | first time.
|
---|
5571 |
|
---|
5572 | * If the quiet attribute has been set, <delete> will handle <fileset>s
|
---|
5573 | with non-existing directories gracefully.
|
---|
5574 |
|
---|
5575 | * Output written by testcases will now be captured by the <junit> task
|
---|
5576 | and passed to the formatters.
|
---|
5577 |
|
---|
5578 | * Quote the -group parameter to Javadoc as per the specification
|
---|
5579 |
|
---|
5580 | * Initialise classes when loaded through the AntClassLoader - that is, run
|
---|
5581 | static initializers
|
---|
5582 |
|
---|
5583 | * Implement getResource() and getResources() in AntClassLoader
|
---|
5584 |
|
---|
5585 | * Create the <ejbjar> weblogic command line as a set of arguments rather than
|
---|
5586 | as a single line. Avoids problems with paths which contain spaces.
|
---|
5587 |
|
---|
5588 | * <ejbjar> now fails when the weblogic ejbc compiler reports an error.
|
---|
5589 |
|
---|
5590 | * Make the AntClassLoader load resources in the same order as it currently
|
---|
5591 | loads classes.
|
---|
5592 |
|
---|
5593 | * Handle classpaths with spaces
|
---|
5594 |
|
---|
5595 | * Make sure XSLT processors close their output files in <style>.
|
---|
5596 |
|
---|
5597 | * perform proper uptodate check in <rmic> when compiling for IIOP.
|
---|
5598 |
|
---|
5599 | * <jjtree>'s uptodate test works even if outputdirectory is not the
|
---|
5600 | parent dir of target
|
---|
5601 |
|
---|
5602 | * <copy> will remove target file (if it exists) before writing to it -
|
---|
5603 | this avoids problems with links on filesystems that support them.
|
---|
5604 |
|
---|
5605 | * <ftp> now properly recurses remote directories.
|
---|
5606 |
|
---|
5607 | * <ftp> closes remote connection when it's done.
|
---|
5608 |
|
---|
5609 | * <junit> tries to include all necessary classes for the task itself
|
---|
5610 | to the classpath when running in fork mode - doesn't work for JDK 1.1
|
---|
5611 |
|
---|
5612 | * <apply> and <execon> do now execute the command only once, if you
|
---|
5613 | specify the parallel attribute - instead of once per fileset.
|
---|
5614 |
|
---|
5615 | * directory based tasks and fileset could miss some included files in
|
---|
5616 | directories that have been excluded
|
---|
5617 |
|
---|
5618 | * <fixcrlf> failed for large files.
|
---|
5619 |
|
---|
5620 | * <move> removed files you tried to move to themselves.
|
---|
5621 |
|
---|
5622 | * <sql> task will not trty to print the result set unless the query succeeded.
|
---|
5623 |
|
---|
5624 | * Ant classloader will now ignore paths which are invalid relative to the
|
---|
5625 | project base
|
---|
5626 |
|
---|
5627 | * <ejbjar> weblogic elements check for jar file changes has been fixed.
|
---|
5628 | Previously some changes would not be included.
|
---|
5629 |
|
---|
5630 | * properties loaded from properties files are now resolved internally. This
|
---|
5631 | removes the spurious warnings about usage of properties which have not been
|
---|
5632 | set.
|
---|
5633 |
|
---|
5634 | * <jar> task and friends now process the JAR manifest to ensure it is valid.
|
---|
5635 |
|
---|
5636 | * The task finished event now includes any exception thrown by the task.
|
---|
5637 |
|
---|
5638 | * <java> task now supports a jvmVersion attribute so that if another JVM is
|
---|
5639 | being used, Ant can determine which options to use for features such as the
|
---|
5640 | VM memory limits
|
---|
5641 |
|
---|
5642 |
|
---|
5643 | Changes from Ant 1.2 to Ant 1.3
|
---|
5644 | ===========================================
|
---|
5645 |
|
---|
5646 | Changes that could break older environments:
|
---|
5647 | --------------------------------------------
|
---|
5648 |
|
---|
5649 | * Ant doesn't search for the buildfile anymore, unless you use the new
|
---|
5650 | -find argument.
|
---|
5651 |
|
---|
5652 | * <perforce> has been replaced by a number of new tasks.
|
---|
5653 |
|
---|
5654 | * <javac> is now implemented using a factory. This makes extending
|
---|
5655 | javac to use a new compiler a lot easier but may break custom
|
---|
5656 | versions of this task that rely on the old implementation.
|
---|
5657 |
|
---|
5658 | * The output generated by the xml formatter for <junit> has changed a
|
---|
5659 | little, it doesn't append " sec" in the time attribute anymore.
|
---|
5660 |
|
---|
5661 | Other changes:
|
---|
5662 | --------------
|
---|
5663 |
|
---|
5664 | * A GUI Frontend: Antidote. This is currently in development. At this
|
---|
5665 | time, this is not part of the Ant release, although the source is
|
---|
5666 | included if you are interested.
|
---|
5667 |
|
---|
5668 | * New tasks: stylebook, propertyfile, depend, antlr, telnet, csc,
|
---|
5669 | ilasm, apply, javah, several clearcase tasks, junitreport, sound
|
---|
5670 |
|
---|
5671 | * Added output attribute to <java>.
|
---|
5672 |
|
---|
5673 | * Added nested zipfileset element to <zip>
|
---|
5674 |
|
---|
5675 | * Changed <sql> so that printing is at the task level rather than
|
---|
5676 | the statement level.
|
---|
5677 |
|
---|
5678 | * javadoc task will pass -d flag to any doclet if the destDir attribute is
|
---|
5679 | given. If the doclet does not accept the -d flag then omit the destdir
|
---|
5680 | attribute.
|
---|
5681 |
|
---|
5682 | * <cab> can work on non-Windows platforms with the help of libcabinet.
|
---|
5683 | See http://trill.cis.fordham.edu/~barbacha/cabinet_library/.
|
---|
5684 |
|
---|
5685 | * <ftp> now supports passive mode.
|
---|
5686 |
|
---|
5687 | * New <mapper> data type that can be used to get influence on the
|
---|
5688 | target files for some tasks like <copy> or enable new types of tasks
|
---|
5689 | like <apply>.
|
---|
5690 |
|
---|
5691 | * <execon> provides more control over the command line now, the names
|
---|
5692 | of the source files are no longer required to be at the end of the
|
---|
5693 | command.
|
---|
5694 |
|
---|
5695 | * Style tasks will now support TraX compliant XSL processors if one is present
|
---|
5696 | in your classpath.
|
---|
5697 |
|
---|
5698 | * Added a failonerror to the javac task. If set to false, the build will
|
---|
5699 | continue even if there are compilation errors.
|
---|
5700 |
|
---|
5701 | * Added nested format elements to the tstamp task allowing additional time
|
---|
5702 | formats to be defined for arbitrary properties.
|
---|
5703 |
|
---|
5704 | * Added classpath attribute and nested classpath element to <property>
|
---|
5705 | to make the resource attribute more powerful.
|
---|
5706 |
|
---|
5707 | * ${} property expansion will now be performed on the patterns read
|
---|
5708 | from files specified as includesfile or excludesfile attributes.
|
---|
5709 |
|
---|
5710 | * The <tar> and <untar> tasks now support GNU format for handling paths
|
---|
5711 | which are greater than 100 characters in length. In addition the <tar>
|
---|
5712 | task now supports nested filesets through which the file permissions
|
---|
5713 | may be controlled.
|
---|
5714 |
|
---|
5715 | * wlrun, wlstop and ejbjar now support Weblogic 6.0
|
---|
5716 |
|
---|
5717 | * The MPasre task has been updated to work with MParse 2.0
|
---|
5718 |
|
---|
5719 | * The documentation has been significantly updated.
|
---|
5720 |
|
---|
5721 |
|
---|
5722 | Fixed bugs:
|
---|
5723 | -----------
|
---|
5724 |
|
---|
5725 | * <signjar> no longer uses deprecated methods.
|
---|
5726 |
|
---|
5727 | * javadoc's failonerror attribute works again
|
---|
5728 |
|
---|
5729 | * javadoc's additionalparam attribute will now be split into separate
|
---|
5730 | parameters (on spaces) to allow for more than one parameter.
|
---|
5731 |
|
---|
5732 | * Changed <sql> task so that printing result sets works on Oracle
|
---|
5733 |
|
---|
5734 | * Changes to ddcreator and ejbc helper to respect the descriptor hierarchy
|
---|
5735 | keppgenerated in ejbc can now be turned off
|
---|
5736 |
|
---|
5737 | * ejbjar now correctly ignores <ejb-ref> elements in the deployment descriptor.
|
---|
5738 | CMP files are included by parsing the weblogic deployment descriptor rather
|
---|
5739 | than relying on the naming convention used in ant 1.2
|
---|
5740 |
|
---|
5741 | * ejbjar includes super classes and super interfaces into the generated ejb
|
---|
5742 | jar files. The <support> nested element allows support classes to be
|
---|
5743 | included in the EJB jar. The toplink element should now correctly locate
|
---|
5744 | the toplink descriptor.
|
---|
5745 |
|
---|
5746 | * <vssget> now correctly deals with spaces in arguments
|
---|
5747 |
|
---|
5748 | * <jar> fails early if a given manifest file doesn't exist
|
---|
5749 |
|
---|
5750 | * <rmic> doesn't search for the _Skel file anymore when stubversion is
|
---|
5751 | set to 1.2.
|
---|
5752 |
|
---|
5753 | * <rmic> uses the the same classpath to verify a class can be rmic'd
|
---|
5754 | as it passes to the compiler.
|
---|
5755 |
|
---|
5756 | * org.apache.tools.mail.MailMessage (and therefore <mail>) can now
|
---|
5757 | handle SMTP servers sending multi line responses.
|
---|
5758 |
|
---|
5759 | * nested <classpath> elements of <taskdef> now work for <taskdef>s not
|
---|
5760 | nested into <target> as well.
|
---|
5761 |
|
---|
5762 | * <property> and <available> will search for the resource "foo" instead
|
---|
5763 | of "/org/apache/tools/ant/taskdefs/foo" when given a relative resource
|
---|
5764 | name foo.
|
---|
5765 |
|
---|
5766 | * Handle build files in directories whose name contained a "#" character
|
---|
5767 |
|
---|
5768 | * <junit> can now log to files whose name contains a comma as well.
|
---|
5769 |
|
---|
5770 | * The AntClassLoader now refers to the loader which loaded it, any
|
---|
5771 | requests it does not handle itself. Previously these went to the
|
---|
5772 | primordial loader.
|
---|
5773 |
|
---|
5774 | Changes from Ant 1.1 to Ant 1.2
|
---|
5775 | ===============================
|
---|
5776 |
|
---|
5777 | Changes that could break older environments:
|
---|
5778 | --------------------------------------------
|
---|
5779 |
|
---|
5780 | * Semantics of <property> has changed again in the hope to be more
|
---|
5781 | intuitive. ${} expansion now happens at runtime and <property> tags
|
---|
5782 | living inside of targets only take effect if they are visited at
|
---|
5783 | runtime.
|
---|
5784 |
|
---|
5785 | As a side effect of this change, task's attributes get set at runtime
|
---|
5786 | not at parser time as well, which might change the results of
|
---|
5787 | <script>s or other custom tasks that reference other tasks by their id
|
---|
5788 | attribute.
|
---|
5789 |
|
---|
5790 | * copying of support files in <javac> has been removed - as well as
|
---|
5791 | the filtering attribute.
|
---|
5792 |
|
---|
5793 | * the <expand> and <keysubst> tasks have been removed.
|
---|
5794 |
|
---|
5795 | * the ignore and items attributes of directory based tasks have been removed.
|
---|
5796 |
|
---|
5797 | * the command line switches _not_ starting with - have been removed.
|
---|
5798 |
|
---|
5799 | * Path and EnumeratedAttribute have been moved from
|
---|
5800 | org.apache.tools.ant to org.apache.tools.ant.types.
|
---|
5801 |
|
---|
5802 | * the class attributes of <available>, <java>, <rmic> and <taskdef>
|
---|
5803 | have been removed.
|
---|
5804 |
|
---|
5805 | * the src attribute of <chmod> has been removed.
|
---|
5806 |
|
---|
5807 | * <patch> and <javadoc> have lost some of their attributes.
|
---|
5808 |
|
---|
5809 | * <java> and <cvs> have lost some undocumented attributes.
|
---|
5810 |
|
---|
5811 | * the Unix antRun script would search for command.sh in the directory
|
---|
5812 | it changed to and invoke this instead of command if present. This
|
---|
5813 | behavior has been dropped.
|
---|
5814 |
|
---|
5815 | * <ejbjar> task syntax has been changed significantly
|
---|
5816 |
|
---|
5817 | * <exec> is no longer implemented by org.apache.tool.ant.taskdefs.Exec.
|
---|
5818 | Custom tasks that rely on Project.createTask("exec") to return an
|
---|
5819 | instance of this class are going to fail.
|
---|
5820 |
|
---|
5821 | * nested <include> and <exclude> elements expect the value of their
|
---|
5822 | name attribute to be a single pattern, they don't accept multiple
|
---|
5823 | patterns anymore. Split them into multiple elements of the same type.
|
---|
5824 |
|
---|
5825 | * <delete dir="somedir" /> will now delete the directory itself as
|
---|
5826 | well as all included files. If you just want to clean out the
|
---|
5827 | directory and keep the empty one, use a nested fileset.
|
---|
5828 |
|
---|
5829 | Other changes:
|
---|
5830 | --------------
|
---|
5831 |
|
---|
5832 | * New tasks: antstructure, cab, execon, fail, ftp, genkey, jlink,
|
---|
5833 | junit, sql, javacc, jjtree, starteam, war, unwar, uptodate,
|
---|
5834 | native2ascii, copy, move, mparse.
|
---|
5835 |
|
---|
5836 | * copydir, copyfile, deltree and rename are now deprecated. They
|
---|
5837 | should be replaced with the new copy, delete and move tasks.
|
---|
5838 |
|
---|
5839 | * <java> uses a ClassLoader of its own in no-fork mode if a classpath is
|
---|
5840 | specified.
|
---|
5841 |
|
---|
5842 | * <style> will create the necessary target directories and reprocess
|
---|
5843 | all files if the stylesheet changes.
|
---|
5844 |
|
---|
5845 | * New data types fileset and patternset - expected to get a broader use.
|
---|
5846 | They, as well as PATH like structures, can now be defined on a global
|
---|
5847 | level and later be referenced by their id attribute.
|
---|
5848 |
|
---|
5849 | * You can specify environment variables to <exec>.
|
---|
5850 |
|
---|
5851 | * <get> can check whether a remote file is actually newer than a local
|
---|
5852 | copy before it starts a download (HTTP only).
|
---|
5853 |
|
---|
5854 | * Added a -logger option to allow the class which performs logging to be
|
---|
5855 | specified on the command line.
|
---|
5856 |
|
---|
5857 | * Added a -emacs option to tell the logger to leave out taskname adornments
|
---|
5858 | on log output.
|
---|
5859 |
|
---|
5860 | * <chmod> works on all files in parallel and supports multiple filesets.
|
---|
5861 |
|
---|
5862 | * <replace> can now use tokens and/or values that cross line boundaries.
|
---|
5863 |
|
---|
5864 | * build.compiler supports now jvc as well.
|
---|
5865 |
|
---|
5866 | * project specific help can now be obtained with the -projecthelp option.
|
---|
5867 |
|
---|
5868 | * Added a -debug option to make -verbose less verbose (and more useful)
|
---|
5869 |
|
---|
5870 | * Ant will now search for a file named build.xml in the parent directory
|
---|
5871 | and above (towards the root of the filesystem) if you didn't specify
|
---|
5872 | -buildfile and there is no build.xml in the current directory.
|
---|
5873 |
|
---|
5874 | * <echo> can now write to a file and accepts nested text.
|
---|
5875 |
|
---|
5876 | Fixed bugs:
|
---|
5877 | -----------
|
---|
5878 |
|
---|
5879 | * <chmod> didn't work when used as a directory based task.
|
---|
5880 |
|
---|
5881 | * Path, Available, Property didn't resolve relative filenames with
|
---|
5882 | respect to the Project's basedir.
|
---|
5883 |
|
---|
5884 | * Project didn't interpret the basedir attribute correctly in all
|
---|
5885 | cases.
|
---|
5886 |
|
---|
5887 | * Nested <src> in <javac> caused NullPointerException.
|
---|
5888 |
|
---|
5889 | * Corrupt Zip- and Jar-files ar now deleted if the task fails.
|
---|
5890 |
|
---|
5891 | * many more fixes we've forgotten to document here ...
|
---|
5892 |
|
---|
5893 | * The packagelistloc attribute of <javadoc>'s <link> child will be
|
---|
5894 | resolved as a file (i.e. it is either absolute or relative to
|
---|
5895 | basedir).
|
---|
