I'm trying to call Findbugs via Ant, but receiving this error:
Cannot run program "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe" (in
directory "H:\Users\MyName\workspace\MyProject"):
CreateProcess error=206, The filename or extension is too long
How can I fix this? o.O
I had the same problem.
I used
<fileset dir="${basedir}/build">
<include name="**/*.class"/>
</fileset>
inside findbugs target and it seems that there is too much .class files to be passed to findbug (?via command line?) because when I used
<fileset dir="${basedir}/build/com/domain/package">
<include name="**/*.class"/>
</fileset>
that had low number of classes, the error was gone.
So, I solved the problem by making one jar file and feeding it to findbugs target with
<findbugs home="${findbugs.home}">
...
<class location="${basedir}/targets/classes-to-analyze.jar"/>
</findbugs>
I think one of the effective file paths are really long when java tries to compile clases.
One worth try is to put codebase in a directory such as C:\MyProject instead of something like C:\Users\MyName\workspace\MyProject
To solve this issue you need to generate a manifestclasspath and a pathing jar.
First Generate your classpath.
<path id="javac.path">
<fileset dir="lib/" includes="**/*.jar"/>
</path>
Next Generate your manifestclasspath
<target name="generate-manifest-classpath">
<manifestclasspath property="manifest.classpath" jarfile="pathing.jar">
<classpath refid="javac.path"/>
</manifestclasspath>
<jar destfile="pathing.jar" basedir="${the location of your build classes}">
<manifest>
<attribute name="Class-Path" value="${manifest.classpath}"/>
</manifest>
</jar>
<path id="javac.classpath">
<pathelement path="pathing.jar"/>
</path>
</target>
Next Implement your Manifestclasspath
<javac srcdir="${foo.dir}" destdir="${bar.dir}"
<classpath refid="javac.classpath"/>
</javac>
This will solve the 206 error message if implemented correctly.
I had the same error on IntelliJ while starting debug mode only. To fix is I've changed:
Run > Edit Configurations > "Configuration" tab > Shorten command line
to "JAR-manifest"

I am using PMD source code analyzer (PMD) for my java web project through ant task. The computer is offline (not connected to the Internet). Part of ant task is as follows:
<target name="pmd">
<taskdef name="pmd" classname="net.sourceforge.pmd.ant.PMDTask">
<classpath>
<fileset dir="E:/pmd-bin-6.41.0/lib">
<include name="*.jar"/>
</fileset>
</classpath>
</taskdef>
<pmd shortfilenames="true" cachelocation="pmd.cache" encoding="UTF-8">
<ruleset>web/resources/category/java/bestpractices.xml</ruleset>
<formatter type="html" tofile="report.html">
</formatter>
<fileset dir="src/java/">
<include name="**/*.java"/>
</fileset>
</pmd>
</target>
When I run pmd target, report.html file is generated ok. The html file basically lists <fileName, lineNumber, description> triplets.
e.g.
foo.java...43...The initializer for variable "tempIDNo" is never used (overwritten on lin 67)
The description in this html file has a link as file:///E:ws/project/${pmd.website.baseurl}/pmd_rules_java_bestpractices.html#unusedassignment which does not work. E:ws/project/ is the folder where my project resides.
As a matter of fact, I have all the necessary html files (such as pmd_rules_java_bestpractices.html) unzipped in E:/pmd-doc-6.41.0 folder.
Could you please help me how to set up description link in html file to show local folder?
Thank you.
Here is the solution I have come up with:
(Using suggestion from (How can I create a link to a local file on a locally-run web page?)) Before ant pmd target define property pmd.website.baseurl
<propery name="pmd.website.baseurl" value="file:///E:/pmd-doc-6.41.0"/>
(Using usage/suggestion from (https://ant.apache.org/manual/Types/filterchain.html#expandproperties), ANT replacing strings in specified files using file with properties ) Change inside target as follows
...
<pmd ...>...
</pmd>
<copy file="report.html" tofile="report2.html">
<filterchain>
<filterreader classname="org.apache.tools.ant.filters.ExpandProperties"/>
</filterchain>
</copy> ...
Run the ant target.
I have been trying to use Ant to compile and ready a project for distribution. I have encountered several problems along the way that I have been finally able to solve but the solution leaves me very unsatisfied. First, let me explain the set-up of the project and its dependencies.
I have a project, lets call it Primary which depends on a couple of libraries such as the fantastic Guava. It also depends on another project of mine, lets call it Secondary. The Secondary project also features some dependencies, for example, JDOM2. I have referenced the Jar I build with Ant in Primary.
Let me give you the interesting bits of the build.xml so you can get a picture of what I am doing:
<project name="Primary" default="all" basedir=".">
<property name='build' location='dist' />
<property name='application.version' value='1.0'/>
<property name='application.name' value='Primary'/>
<property name='distribution' value='${application.name}-${application.version}'/>
<path id='compile.classpath'>
<fileset dir='libs'>
<include name='*.jar'/>
</fileset>
</path>
<target name='compile' description='Compile source files.'>
<javac includeantruntime="false" srcdir="src" destdir="bin">
<classpath refid='compile.classpath'/>
</javac>
<target>
<target name='jar' description='Create a jar file for distribution.' depends="compile">
<jar destfile='${build}/${distribution}.jar'>
<fileset dir="bin"/>
<zipgroupfileset dir="libs" includes="*.jar"/>
</jar>
</target>
The Secodnary project's build.xml is nearly identical except that it features a manifest as it needs to run:
<target name='jar' description='Create a jar file for distribution.' depends="compile">
<jar destfile='${dist}/${distribution}.jar' basedir="${build}" >
<fileset dir="${build}"/>
<zipgroupfileset dir="libs" includes="*.jar"/>
<manifest>
<attribute name="Main-Class" value="lu.tudor.ssi.kiss.climate.ClimateChange"/>
</manifest>
</jar>
</target>
After I got it working, trying for many hours to not include that dependencies as class files but as Jars, I don't have the time or insight to go back and try to figure out what I did wrong. Furthermore, I believe that including these libraries as class files is bad practice as it could give rise to licensing issues while not packaging them and merely including them in a directory along the build Jar would most probably not (And if it would you could choose not to distribute them yourself).
I think my inability to correctly assemble the class path, I always received NoClassDefFoundError for classes or libraries in the Primary project when launching Second's Jar, is that I am not very experienced with Ant. Would I require to specify a class path for both projects? Specifying the class path as . should have allowed me to simply add all dependencies to the same folder as Secondary's Jar, should it not?
You may use the MANIFEST.MF "Class-Path: " to cross-reference your jars.
If they are all in the same directory this will probably work as follows (using it in both projects!):
<target name='jar' description='Create a jar file for distribution.' depends="compile">
<pathconvert property="manifest.classpath" pathsep=" ">
<path refid="compile.classpath" />
<flattenmapper />
</pathconvert>
<jar destfile='${build}/${distribution}.jar'>
<fileset dir="bin"/>
<manifest>
<attribute name="Class-Path" value="${manifest.classpath}"/>
</manifest>
</jar>
</target>
This way you can tell the java runtime environment that your jar needs others to work, expecting them to be in the same directory as the jar you are trying to run.
As a result your primary.jar should have secondary.jar in it's classpath and secondary.jar should have guava.jar in it's classpath.
Another way to create the string may be ants manifestclasspath task (https://ant.apache.org/manual/Tasks/manifestclasspath.html) that can handle subdirectories.
If you are goin to use more and more libraries, you may want to have a closer look at ivy or even maven.
I recently installed Ant 1.8.4 and JasperReports 4.6.0 on my Ubuntu machine.
The following environmental variables were set on my account:
PATH=$PATH:/opt/ant/bin
export PATH
export ANT_HOME=/opt/ant
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64
When I try to run a demo build file in the JasperReports demo samples directory using the command ant I get the following error:
Buildfile: build.xml
BUILD FAILED
/opt/jasperreports-4.6.0/demo/samples/antcompile/build.xml:3: The following
error occurred while executing this line:
jar:file:/opt/ant/lib/ant.jar!/org/apache/tools/ant/antlib.xml:37: Problem: failed to create task or type componentdef
Cause: The name is undefined.
Action: Check the spelling.
Action: Check that any custom tasks/types have been declared.
Action: Check that any <presetdef>/<macrodef> declarations have taken place.
Any help in solving this problem will be super helpful.
The snippet of build.xml file:
<project name="antcompile" default="test" basedir=".">
<description>Shows how multiple JRXML files can be compiled in batch mode using ANT.</description>
<path id="classpath">
<pathelement location="../../../build/classes"/>

</fileset>
</path>
<path id="runClasspath">

keepjava="true"
xmlvalidation="true">
<classpath refid="runClasspath"/>
<include name="**/*.jrxml"/>
</jrc>
</target>
This Ant script is using custom task jrc.
As you can see from the snippet below (this is build.xml file from the jasperreports-4.6.0/demo/samples/antcompile folder), this task's definition refers the classpath from the same build file.
<path id="classpath">
<pathelement location="../../../build/classes"/>
<fileset dir="../../../lib">
<include name="**/*.jar"/>
</fileset>
</path>
...
<taskdef name="jrc" classname="net.sf.jasperreports.ant.JRAntCompileTask">
<classpath refid="classpath"/>
</taskdef>
You should check the ../../../build/classes folder (in JasperReports package's folder structure which contains samples) - the net.sf.jasperreports.ant.JRAntCompileTask class must be there.
In other words you should put this class (or jasperreports-4.6.0.jar) to the classpath (path id="classpath").
Another probable source of your problem is the version of Ant package.
You can read about Project#createTask complains it wouldn't find task componentdef issue on Ant's bugtracker and project.createTask() not working with ant-1.8.2 post.
I made it work by changing the following element in my CLASSPATH, /opt/jasperreports-4.6.0/lib/ant-1.7.1.jar to /opt/ant/lib/ant.jar.
Thanks to Alex for posting the helpful links!

You're going have to help us out a bit here...
Are you building JasperReports-4.6.0? Or, are you using JasperReports as part of your build.xml? Is this a test build.xml demoing JasperReports?
The error says Check that any custom tasks/types have been declared, so what is the Ant task in line #37? Is there a in the build.xml? Does it have a classpath defined? If you have a taskdef, please let us see what it is, and what the custom task is.
I'm downloading iReport to see if I can figure out what you're doing, but it's taking 15 minutes. I bet you're supposed to put some jar into $ANT_HOME/lib. Maybe that JasperReports or iReport jarfile.
As soon as I can download iReport and see what you're talking about, I'll update my answer.
Meanwhile, include the relevant code around line #35 in your build.xml and the taskdef task in your build.xml.
Finished downloading iReport and there is no build.xml file in it. You're going to have to post your code, so we can look at it.
Again, my assumption is that there's some jar file that they assumed you'd stick in /opt/ant/lib and didn't.
Here is my pmd script for ant build.xml
<property name="pmd.dir" value="${basedir}/pmd" /><!-- directory that contains pmd.jar -->
<property name="pmd.test.results" location="${build.dir}/pmd"/>
<path id="pmd.lib" >

The main problem I'm having is lack of information regarding pmd and ant (its terrible there is nothing out there) so I'm pretty much lost at this point at what I'm doing wrong... I'm pretty sure I havent set up my rulesets correctly (but there isn't a way to tell because of this lack of information for ant/pmd implementations)....
The error clearly says...
BUILD FAILED C:\Users\Michael\Desktop\log4jassignment.s06005586\build.xml:112: Can't find resource ruleset/java/basic.xml
and I don't see java folder inside ruleset. So get the folder and files in right place and then see whether it works or not
I have written an ANT script and finally am building the jar
here is the building of jar section
<jar jarfile="${destination}/#{name}.jar">
<fileset dir="${output}">
<include name="abc/xyz/#{name}/**"/>
</fileset>
<zipfileset dir="lib" prefix="lib/"/>
<manifest>
<attribute name="Main-Class" value="com.abc.xyz.HelloWorld"/>
<attribute name="Class-Path" value=".:lib/activation.jar:lib/antlr-2.7.6.jar:lib/asm-attrs.jar:lib/asm.jar:lib/cglib-2.1.3.jar:lib/commons-collections-2.1.1.jar:lib/commons-logging-1.1.jar:lib/dom4j-1.6.1.jar:lib/ehcache-1.2.3.jar:lib/ejb3-persistence.jar:lib/hibernate-annotations.jar:lib/hibernate-commons-annotations.jar:lib/hibernate-entitymanager.jar:lib/hibernate-tools.jar:lib/hibernate3.jar:lib/javassist.jar:lib/jdbc2_0-stdext.jar:lib/jta.jar:lib/mysql-connector-java-5.1.5-bin.jar"/>
</manifest>
</jar>
Now when I try to execute the package it executes, but whenever data is sent I get an error.
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/persistence/NoResultException
But the persistence jar is there in the class-path, I've tried all the combinations for the class-path, but in vain.
But in another system I tried without create a jar like
set classpath=.;lib/activation.jar;lib/antlr-2.7.6.jar;lib/asm-attrs.jar;lib/asm.jar;lib/cglib-2.1.3.jar;lib/commons-collections-2.1.1.jar;lib/commons-logging-1.1.jar;lib/dom4j-1.6.1.jar;lib/ehcache-1.2.3.jar;lib/ejb3-persistence.jar;lib/hibernate-annotations.jar;lib/hibernate-commons-annotations.jar;lib/hibernate-entitymanager.jar;lib/hibernate-tools.jar;lib/hibernate3.jar;lib/javassist.jar;lib/jdbc2_0-stdext.jar;lib/jta.jar;lib/mysql-connector-java-5.1.5-bin.jar
java com.abc.xyz.HelloWorld
This works fine.
In Mac when I try like this:
java -cp .:lib/activation.jar:lib/antlr-2.7.6.jar:lib/asm-attrs.jar:lib/asm.jar:lib/cglib-2.1.3.jar:lib/commons-collections-2.1.1.jar:lib/commons-logging-1.1.jar:lib/dom4j-1.6.1.jar:lib/ehcache-1.2.3.jar:lib/ejb3-persistence.jar:lib/hibernate-annotations.jar:lib/hibernate-commons-annotations.jar:lib/hibernate-entitymanager.jar:lib/hibernate-tools.jar:lib/hibernate3.jar:lib/javassist.jar:lib/jdbc2_0-stdext.jar:lib/jta.jar:lib/mysql-connector-java-5.1.5-bin.jar com.abc.xyz.HelloWorld
Also it works fine :(, but the minute I create the jar it stops.
How can I resolve this issue?
First of all the "Main-Class" and "Class-Path" manifiest entries is only used for executeable jars. In other words when you invoke java as follows:
java -jar foo.jar
Invoking java using the -cp option means you're supplying your own classpath and note that you also have to provide the main class on the command line as well.
Secondly you need to replace the ":" characters with spaces:
<attribute name="Class-Path" value=". lib/activation.jar lib/antlr-2.7.6.jar lib/asm-attrs.jar lib/asm.jar lib/cglib-2.1.3.jar lib/commons-collections-2.1.1.jar lib/commons-logging-1.1.jar lib/dom4j-1.6.1.jar lib/ehcache-1.2.3.jar lib/ejb3-persistence.jar lib/hibernate-annotations.jar lib/hibernate-commons-annotations.jar lib/hibernate-entitymanager.jar lib/hibernate-tools.jar lib/hibernate3.jar lib/javassist.jar lib/jdbc2_0-stdext.jar lib/jta.jar lib/mysql-connector-java-5.1.5-bin.jar"/>
Finally I'd recommend using the manifestclasspath task to build your classpath string for you. It will correcly resolve any relative links between your jar and it's run-time dependencies.
<manifestclasspath property="mf.classpath" jarfile="${destination}/#{name}.jar">
<classpath>
<fileset dir="lib" includes="*.jar"/>
<classpath>
</manifestclasspath>
<jar jarfile="${destination}/#{name}.jar">
<fileset dir="${output}">
<include name="abc/xyz/#{name}/**"/>
</fileset>
<zipfileset dir="lib" prefix="lib/"/>
<manifest>
<attribute name="Main-Class" value="com.abc.xyz.HelloWorld"/>
<attribute name="Class-Path" value=". ${mf.classpath}"/>
</manifest>
</jar>
One final observation.... Why are you including the contents of the lib directory inside the jar? (The zipfileset tag in the jar command?)
This appears unnecessary, all you need to do is ensure that the run-time dependencies are present in a lib directory as specified in your Class-Path manifest entry.
The reason for it not works was there not in the class path, the explanation is given here:
