ant build generating same class files while packaging the war file - ant

Below is the Ant script i am trying in GAE project but when i look into the war file i see two class for each java file.
Just a fyi, WAR file created i open in winrar but even when i extract it winrar keeps on asking me to either replace existing file message. Not sure how even same file name & extension is present in one folder. Also i checked the "dist" & "classes" folder i does not have duplicate file.
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<project name="AntExample1" default="war">
<path id="compile.classpath">
<fileset dir="war/WEB-INF/lib">
<include name="*.jar"/>
</fileset>
</path>
<target name="init">
<mkdir dir="build/classes"/>
<mkdir dir="dist" />
</target>
<target name="compile" depends="init" >
<javac destdir="build/classes" debug="true" srcdir="src">
<classpath refid="compile.classpath"/>
</javac>
</target>
<target name="war" depends="compile">
<war destfile="dist/AntExample.war" webxml="war/WEB-INF/web.xml">
<fileset dir="war"/>

Continuous Integration - Jenkins not invoking WedDriver test

I'm trying to use jenkins to run selenium webdriver test (continuous integration) but so far I've had no success at all. My setup:
- eclipse
- testng
- ant (build.xml files)
- jenkins
- everything is hosted locally
I'm running my test in parallel (1 test, 3 browsers) and this works fine if I run the testng file, if I run the ant file (build.xml) it says 'build successful' but nothing happens if also run this same file in jenkins it says the same thing 'build successful' but again nothing happens. From this I can deduce that jenkins is running the correct file but its just not executing the test. I've even tried to use maven but I don't understand it so the code doesn't even compile when I take this route.
Can someone help me and point me in the right direction because I believe I'm missing something. I've included a photo of my jenkins set and below is a copy of my ant file:

I can explain you the way I have done it in jenkins, maven and code. It should be pretty much similar with ant. This should certainly make jenkins fire your tests.
In code:
Create test suite class like below
#RunWith(Suite.class)
#Suite.SuiteClasses
({
Test1.class,
Test2.class
})
public class UnitTestSuite{}
In maven: use maven-surefire-plugin in pom.xml as below:
<!-- TEST -->
<plugin>
<!-- Runs the unit tests. -->
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${surefire.version}</version>
<configuration>
<includes>
<include>**/UnitTestSuite.java</include>
</includes>
</configuration>
</plugin>
and finally in jenkins build section set goals as
clean install -e -Dmaven.test.failure.ignore=false
Try modifying your ant file by adding in target "jenkins_run_selenium" as below:
<target name="jenkins_run_selenium">
<mkdir dir="${junit.output.dir}"/>
<junit fork="yes" printsummary="withOutAndErr">
<formatter type="xml"/>
<test name="tests.MyUnitTests" todir="${junit.output.dir}"/>
<classpath refid="jenkins_run_selenium.classpath"/>
</junit>
</target>
Refer https://stackoverflow.com/a/4760714/1712272 if you want to run all tests in batch

Ant build.xml not functioning properly

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.
<?xml version="1.0"?>

<fileset dir="${src.dir}" includes="**/*.xml"/>
</jar>
</target>
<target name="release" depends="jar" description="Entry point">

</project>
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>

Ant With Internal Dependencies

I have a a jar right now that uses external dependencies. I'm trying to create a jar that packages all the external dependencies inside, and will just give me one jar. I saw this question asked multiple times, but I still can't figure it out. I'm using Ant, and copied some of the examples I saw on here. I'm using zipgroupfileset to reference the external(now internal) jars. As soon as I added the zipgroupfileset I got a runtime error that said my Runner class could not be found.

To make things simpler:
Create a separate sources jar for compilation. Then, have a separate compiled jar without the sources.
Don't include the third party jars. Instead, use Ivy with Ant. Ant will automatically download the required jars. In fact, I've see sources that just include the ivy.jar, so Ivy will automatically be configured when you unjar the sources. You type in ant, and everything just builds.
As an alternative, you can look at Maven which is how many projects are now packaged. In fact, if your jar is an open source project, you can probably host it on the OSS Maven repository. This way, no one even needs to manually download your compiled jar. If they want it, they configure their Maven project to do it for them.
i think the problem is that you use basedir="bin" in the your jar task. then path of your zipgroupfileset convert to bin/${external-lib-dir}

ant delete task with wildcard not working

I would like to set up an ant task to delete all .class and .jar
files from the same directory the build.xml file is, including
nonsense.class which is in the same directory as the build.xml
file. So I've set up the following build.xml file for ant 1.9.0
as follows:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="HelloWorld" default="deploy">
<!-- ... -->
<target name="clean">
<delete file="nonsense.class" />
<delete file="*.class" />
<delete file="*.jar" />
</target>
</project>
When I execute it nonsense.class is removed but none of
the other .class or .jar files. What am I doing wrong?
You need to use a fileset to delete more than one file:
<target name="clean">
<delete file="nonsense.class" />
<delete>
<fileset dir=".">
<include name="*.class"/>
<include name="*.jar"/>
</fileset>
</delete>
</target>

Ant jar file for swing program

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<project name="javaGui" default="execute">
<target name="init" depends="clean">
<mkdir dir="build/classes" />
<mkdir dir="dist" />
</target>
<target name="compile" depends="init">
<javac srcdir="src" destdir="build/classes" />
</target>
<target name="execute" depends="compile">
<java classname="Swing" classpath="build/classes" />
<jar destfile="dist/final.jar" basedir="build/classes" />
</target>
<target name="clean">
<delete dir="build" />
<delete dir="dist" />
</target>
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>
</jar>
</target>
<target name="run">
<java jar="build/jar/HelloWorld.jar" fork="true"/>
</target>
