ant delete task with wildcard not working - ant

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>

how to excludes and include task in ant script

I want to copy only specific jar file using ant script. It is very easy task but i am not able to do this. I have written the below ant script for this task. I want to excludes all jar file except aopalliance-.jar file. But when i run this script it excludes all the jar file. can someone correct this script .
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project default="mvcexample" name="MVCExample" basedir=".">
<property name="web.dir" value="WebContent" />
<property name="webinf.dir" value="WebContent/WEB-INF" />
<property name="lib.dir" value="WebContent/WEB-INF/lib" />
<property name="lib2.dir" value="WebContent/WEB-INF/lib2" />
<target name="copyjar">
<copy todir="${lib2.dir}">
<fileset dir="${lib.dir}" excludes="**/*.jar">
<include name="${lib.dir}/aopalliance-.jar"></include>
</fileset>
</copy>
</target>
</project>
Here's what you need to do:
<target name="copyjar">
<copy todir="${lib2.dir}">
<fileset dir="${lib.dir}">
<!-- <include name="${lib.dir}/aopalliance-.jar"/> -->
<include name="aopalliance-.jar"/> <!-- Don't put the dir name! -->
</fileset>
</copy>
</target>
When you specify a directory, you merely specify the name pattern under that directory. What you were asking for was the jar ${lib.dir}/${lib.dir}/aopalliance-.jar. By the way, is there suppose to be a version number in there somewhere? Like aopalliance-3.4.jar? If so, you need <include name="aopalliance-*.jar"/>.
Also notice that if I used <include .../> instead of <include...></include>.

ant build generating same class files while packaging the war file

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>

<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"/>
<lib dir="war/WEB-INF/lib"/>

</war>
</target>
<target name="clean">
<delete dir="dist" />

ant build script don't run on windows using command line

i have written an ant script, which runs ok and generate the .jar file when i use it with eclipse.
But when i use it on command prompt on windows xp, it's shows successfull, but nothing happens. ant is properly configured and also i can run other ant scripts.
here is my build.xml file
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="TaskNodeBundle" basedir=".">
<!-- Sets variables which can later be used. -->
<!-- The value of a property is accessed via ${} -->
<property name="bundlename" value="task-node-bundle" />
<property name="src.dir" location="../src" />
<property name="lib.dir" location="../lib" />
<property name="build.dir" location="/buildoutput" />
<property name="build.dest" location="build/dest" />
<!--
Create a classpath container which can be later used in the ant task
-->
<path id="classpath">
<fileset dir="${lib.dir}/">
<include name="*.jar" />
</fileset>
</path>
<target name="clean">
<delete dir="${build.dir}" />
<delete dir="${build.dest}" />
</target>
<!-- Deletes the existing build directory-->
<target name="mkdir" depends="clean">
<mkdir dir="${build.dest}"/>
</target>
<!-- Compiles the java code -->
<target name="compile" depends="mkdir">
<javac srcdir="${src.dir}" destdir="${build.dest}" classpathref="classpath" />
</target>
<target name="package-bundle" depends="compile" description="Generates the bundle">
<jar destfile="${dist.dir}/${bundlename}.jar">
<fileset dir="${src.dir}">
<include name="**/**.class" />
<include name="**/**.properties"/>
<include name="/META-INF/**.*" />
<include name="/META-INF/spring/**.*" />
</fileset>
</jar>
</target>
</project>
When you execute an ant script from the command line it will execute the first target defined in the build.xml file (in your case clean).
You can specify the target(s) to be executed on the command line
$ ant target1 target2
or define a default target in your build.xml file with the default attribute of the <project> tag:
<project name="TaskNodeBundle" basedir="." default="package-bundle">

Ant not running all targets

I have the following ant file that is not running the targets "prepForDeployment" and "deployToStaging". This task is being run by Jenkins and I'm not getting any build errors when I look at the console output of the test.

If you're not telling Jenkins to run the prepForDeployment and deployToStaging targets then it won't run them, just the same as when you run Ant on the command line.
If you want those targets to run, add them to the target list under your "Invoke Ant" build step.

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>
