Below is a simplified versin of a build.xml for a Java project. It completes "build" correctly (creates the correct .class files) and prints out "Finishing build". It does not, however, print out "Starting jar". What am I not understanding? The target "jar" depends on "build", so it should be run next.
Running it with target release.

Update the release target as follows to note that release depends on build then jar. i.e. depends="build,jar"
i.e.
<target name="release" depends="build,jar" description="Entry point">
<echo message="release ..."/>
</target>

I have added PMD library jar file in lib folder of the project,where other libraries are present as jar files.
But if i change add path ref to the library not as a jarfile , it works well.
<path id="pmd.classpath">
<fileset dir="C:\Users\PMD\pmd-bin-5.5.2">
<include name="**/*.jar"/>
</fileset>
</path>
May I know what is the problem? I am pretty new to ANT and PMD , any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
First thing to check is the file pmd-core-*.jar in your lib directory?
Secondly add a reference to the path in the taskdef task:
<taskdef name="pmd" classname="net.sourceforge.pmd.ant.PMDTask" classpathref="classpath"/>
I am a selenium user trying to generate xslt reports using Ant, but when I run Ant in cmd it is showing me error of build.xml not exist while I have build.xml file in my project folder.
I am using eclispe juno on windows 7 and and kept the build.xml file under the project.
I have java JDK1.7 on my machine and I have already set the environment variables(Java and ant both) as per instructions given on apache.org
Ant version is apache-ant-1.9.1
I have imported all necessary jar files (selenium + maven +saxon + all required for xslt report through ant) in my project in eclipse.
When I am trying to run ant through cmd it is showing me this error:-

Thanks you all for your great help, I have resolved that error ..
It was related to the path of the jar files , I provided incorrect path to the jars.
This was line 70 : -
<javac debug="true" destdir="${test.dest}" srcdir="${test.src}"
target="1.7" classpath="${test.classpath}">
this is related to the path to the jars and in the top line of my file I did provided this path - D:\All jars , while all required jars was not in this folder, now I updated the jar folder and it is working fine now.

This is ant script to generate jar file.problem is those code will generate jar but when i click on that jar it is not opening means it not showing any GUI.
im new to this please let me know what is going wrong.
javaGUI is project and Swing is class name
jar file will not open in GUI. You need to run jar file from console.
Go to dist directory -> run this command:
$ java -jar final.jar [optional parameters]
For more details : see this reference
UPDATE
Instead of giving ant from target execute, try this :
<target name="jar">
<mkdir dir="build/jar"/>
<jar destfile="build/jar/HelloWorld.jar" basedir="build/classes">
<manifest>
<attribute name="Main-Class" value="Swing"/>
</manifest>

I have 2 ant build scripts named "build" and "tarne"
Build:

</path>
<target name="clean">

</target>
<target name="copy-resources" depends="compile">
//Lots of copying here
</target>
<target name="read.version" description="Parses the hda file for your version number">
<property file="${project.name}.hda" prefix="hda"/>
<propertyregex property="version" input="${hda.version}" regexp="\." replace="-" global="true" override="true"/>
<var name="version2" value="${version}"/>
<echo>${version}</echo>
<echo>${version2}</echo>
</target>
<target name="zip" depends="copy-resources, read.version" description="Package component">
<zip destfile="${project.name}-${version}.zip" basedir="${tmp}" />
<delete dir="${tmp}" />
</target>
</project>
Tarne:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<project default="tarne">
<include file="build.xml"/>
<property name="project.name" value="build.project.name"/>
<target name="tarne">
<antcall target="build.read.version" inheritRefs="true"></antcall>
<property name="version" value="build.version"/>
<property name="version2" value="build.version2"/>
<echo>${version}</echo>
<echo>${version2}</echo>
</target>
</project>
And the output I get when I run tarne.xml is:
Buildfile: tarne.xml
tarne:
build.read.version:
[echo] v1-0-1
[echo] v1-0-1
[echo] default_version_value
[echo] default_version_value
Where the first 2 lines (v1-0-1) are from inside the read.version target of build.xml and the next 2 lines are from tarne.xml. The general idea is that I should be able to access the version number in my tarne.xml build script.
Any ideas on what's going wrong?
Antcall does not support what you intend to do:
http://ant.apache.org/manual/Tasks/antcall.html :
The called target(s) are run in a new project; be aware that this means properties, references, etc. set by called targets will not persist back to the calling project.
you could try:
<target name="tarne" depends="build.read.version">
</target>
which would keep the new values.
Try
<property name="version" value="${build.version}"/>
<property name="version2" value="${build.version2}"/>
I am trying to make an ant script for an EJB project. I am using Jboss for this.
I am new to both EJB and Ant and am having problems in getting the beans to compile from ant. It gives me number of errors of the kind
package javax.persistence does not exist
#MappedSuperclass - Cannot find symbol
I created it as an eclipse project initially, and added the jboss runtime through eclipse. Do I need to copy all the jars in a lib folder and include them in the classpath for the beans to compile or is there a better way to do this?
Try setting classpath in Ant appropriately. It ignores any system CLASSPATH or Eclipse setting that you have.
Here's an Ant build.xml that you can start with:
