Ok, I give up. Can somebody please help me set up my build file? This is
what I have now, and this is what I'm trying to do:
targets:
clean - deletes folders created in init
test - runs the test/driver class
compile - compiles java code into dist folder
dist - creates 3 jars, one with source and including all files not in
any folders created by init
the second with only the binary stuff, so everything inside the
${dist} folder
the third that is pretty much a copy of everything except the
${dist} folder.
These are the problems I'm getting:
1) In distSrc and dist seem to try to include themselves in the jar. They
must be ignoring my excludes or something.
2) In distSrc, It either doesn't keep the directory stucture the same way or
it includes other stuff.
My basic directory structure is usually like this:
root- build.xml and any other files created by JBuilder
- /src folder with source files
- /lib folder with jars to use in its classpath
- /dist folder with any previous builds
- /bak folder which I don't care about, JBuilder seems to create it.
- /classes folder where the java code is compiled to.
I've included my build file for reference. Thanks guys.
<!--
Generic build file created by Miguel De Anda.
Expects java source in ${src}
Includes any jars in ${lib}
Builds class files to ${build}
Builds jar files to ${dist}
Jar files are named ${date}_[src|bin|archive]_${dist.basename}
Creates javadocs to ${docs}
Tests using ${driver}
Normal Targets are:
test To test using ${driver}
compile To compile only
javadoc To create javadocs
dist To create src, binary and archive jars
all Same as dist
clean Erases files in build and docs
