He Guys,
i wonder how to suppress ANT [copy] and [mkdir] notifications like Copied 2 empty directories to 2 empty directories under… during the Build process.
Maybe it's impossible but does anyone has some suggestions for me?
Regards
You can write and install your own custom listener or logger. See the ant documentation

According to many different SO-questions, it should be possible to exclude files being copied/deployed using the Task "Copy and Publish Build Artifacts" in the new TFS build system.
However it doesn't work for me (it is not excluding anything). What could I be doing wrong:
This should work (I know the question is old but I needed an answer myself)
**\!(System.Windows.Interactivity.resources.dll|*.dll.config|*fluentassertions*)
This is a known issue of the build task “Copy and Publish Build Artifacts”,bitbonk.
Q: This step didn't produce the outcome I was expecting. How can I fix it?
This step has a couple of known issues:
Some minimatch patterns don't work.
It eliminates the most common root path for all paths matched.
Source Link: Utility: Copy and Publish Build Artifacts
Well, it's nothing business with your settings of minimatch. It's just not work for that build task. Certainly, you can also doulbe check your minimatch with Copy Files task to verify this.
For now, you can avoid these issues by instead using the Copy Files step and the Publish Build Artifacts step.
Note: If it's still not working on copy files step, you should pay attention to the architecture of file when using minimatch. There must be something wrong on it.
The task copies the files base on the contents you entered one line by one line and the "!" only exclude the files during the copy, it does not delete the files that already been copied. So with the "**\*" you entered in the first line, all the files have already been copied and published. You need to remove the first line in "Contents". And for the excluded files, if there are in the same folded, you need to exclude them in one line. For example: using
!?(1.txt|2.txt)
to exclude both 1.txt and 2.txt file instead of using
!1.txt
!2.txt

above are the my work space settings from build configuration.
It is giving below issue while copying build.
C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v12.0\WebApplications\Microsoft.WebApplication.targets (182): Could not copy the file "Modules\Sample\AliasConfig\AliasConfig.html" because it was not found.
do I missed any configurations still, please help me out in this. if any
solution.
It looks like you have a reference to the output of that .html fil le somewhere in your build logic. Cloaking the folder means that it is not there so the error is correct.
You need to find where you have a reference to that .html file in your build logic.
I'm trying to Deploy a Jar File from an ANT script (with OjDeploy), which compiles successfully. But when I run the main project (Which has the Jar dependency), I get a huge incident, when I analysed the incident log, it says
"Caused by: java.sql.SQLSyntaxErrorException: ORA-00942: table or view does not exist"
I analysed both the jar files (One generated by the ANT script and the other generated from Jdev). I couldn't find any difference b/w Manifest of those two jars. The other folders are also the same, In other words, both are almost the same, or I'm not able to figure out the difference between the two jar files generated.
I know, I'm missing something, config of build.xml or something, but not able to figure out the exact problem.
Thanks,

My guess is that the problem is not in the JAR file but rather in the project that consumes it.
Seems like the DB connection in that project is different than the one in your JAR project - which causes one of the tables that is needed in the DB not be found.
I figured out a way to solve the problem. Not sure what was the cause of this issue, but a couple of changes made both to JAR/EAR build scripts set the things right
While building JAR files:
Uncheck "Make this the project build file" while creating the ANT build file, while the "Include Packaging Tasks (uses OjDeploy)" must be checked.
Remove "nocompile" parameter from tag in the OjDeploy.
While Building EAR files:
Create EAR in the view controller project.
Go to the View Controller Project Properties-> Project Source Path -> Resources, remove the newly created build file dependency, which specifies that the build file is for the whole project and not for the individual project.
Remove "Project" parameter from tag in the OjDeploy. (Ensures to build for the whole application)
Remove "nocompile" parameter from tag in the OjDeploy.
These are the exhaustive set of changes, which I made to ensure the ANT files are building correctly, if you get any other errors after this EAR is deployed, then its definitely due to code, EO/VO or DB related.
Thanks for all the help!!

i have never seen this strange -
i am into maintenance project where i got a build.xml and i never installed ant. ant is bundled into the project and so i use -
ant deploy_project.
but when i look at build.xml i cannot find any target named "deploy_project".
can anyone help me how the "deploy_project" target gets executed without this target being present in build.xml?
I suspect that since i didn't install ant by myself and is bundled with the project, any configuration of ant may have been overridden...but how to find it is where i am stuck, can any one pls help me?
(I am sure the target isn't present in build.xml).
thanks much in advance.
Run the following command:
$ ant -p
This will usually print out all the targets in your build.xml. Or at least the ones with descriptions.
Also look for <import file="..."> statements in your build.xml. These allow you to import other Ant build files which can contain targets that aren't in your build.xml. I suspect, if you do a search for the string deploy_project in your build.xml, and you can't find a target by that name, you have an import statement somewhere in your build.xml, so search for <import.
If you are SURE that the target is not present, and you are not specifying the build file with -f option, then only 1 explanation I can think of -
your ANT_HOME is somewhere else and there will be another build.xml there.
(Quickest way to check is find it - SET for Windows echo $PATH for Unix), find the value for ANT_HOME and in the same directory, a build.xml will be present with your *INVISIBLE* target
If you have searched the C: drive and still cannot find any build.xml, then the bundled ANT you have might be a customized one or an ANT wrapper. Meaning have a .bat file called ant.bat which accepts deploy_project as an argument and then maps it to another task using variable substitution. So look for a batch file ant.bat or anything titled ant.
I have an Ant script performing some updating etc and one task is to delete a few files and folders.
In Windows and especially version 7 there seem to be some kind of Read Only Attribute mayhem and I have tried several solutions with no success.
There are several other SO issues similar to this but no solution really.
Ant is not able to delete some files on windows
Is there any way to make Ant ignore the Read Only Attribute?
The ant chmod task seems only to work for Linux; searching for "ant chmod windows" yielded i.a. Attr. Then you could first make all writable. Maybe with ant delete failonerror=false.
Okay, that does not work too. Maybe use PsExec, a tool to run things as Administrator. Unlikely that a solution in the form of an ant task may be found.
