Some questions on Ant

[subhabangalore]

Dear Room,

I was trying to learn Apache Ant.

I got the following information.

i)Ant is a build tool, it helps to create .exe file.
ii) Compiling is a subtask of building.

Now,
I am confused with few questions.

I was exploring the "Ant build" in Eclipse.

I could create one "build.xml" and could run successfully.

The questions are:
i) May I have to write the the "build.xml" or a build file everytime I want to build a project? Can't it be done automatic, means the generation of the .xml file?

ii) After the "build.xml" gives report like,

Hello:
[echo] Hello
BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 477 milliseconds

Where may I find .exe file? And how should I use it?

If any one of the learned members can kindly suggest?

Regards,
Subhabrata.

i)Ant is a build tool, it helps to create .exe file.

You usually don't have exe files in Java, so it helps create
jar/war/ear/rar files. And many other things.

ii) Compiling is a subtask of building.

I am confused with few questions.

I was exploring the "Ant build" in Eclipse.

I could create one "build.xml" and could run successfully.

With the right content then you can reuse the same build.xml for
multiple projects as long as they are similar and simple. For bigger
project you typical need some custom work.

ii) After the "build.xml" gives report like,

Hello:
[echo] Hello
BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 477 milliseconds

Where may I find .exe file? And how should I use it?

Java is not build to exe files.

You can use the jar task to build a jar file.

And it will be located where you tell ant to put it.

Thanks. I am checking the things. I found Lingpipe already has "build.xml" then why the room is asking me to get along with it, the other question pondering me it is not running like the one I experimented it is giving error as, BUILD FAILED
C:\Users\subhabrata\Documents\lingpipe-4.1.0.tar\lingpipe-4.1.0\build.xml:50: Unable to find a javac compiler;

I think the other respondents have suggested you need more
experience with the Java programming environment. I agree.


the other question pondering me it is not running like the one I
experimented it is giving error as, BUILD FAILED

Dear Sir,
That is okay. I could place ant properly my machine can recognize ant in command prompt. Other than this as Sujit suggested I could run Lingpipe demo from command prompt. As you are kindly teaching me let me learn it too. I tried it but got the following error, I am trying still let me see where I land tomorrow evening.

"Room" is the wrong term.

"Group", "people", "fellow programmers", ...

Have you read the instructions?

Wrong. It is a build tool, but it is not to build an EXE file.

I could create one "build.xml" and could run successfully.

No, but every time you create a project or change how it builds you will need to add or modify
the build.xml.

Not really. You start with a standard build.xml and modify it.

... [snip] ...

That is okay. I could place ant properly my machine can recognize ant in command prompt. Other than this as Sujit suggested I could run Lingpipe demo from command prompt. As you are kindly teaching me let me learn it too. Itried it but got the following error, I am trying still let me see where Iland tomorrow evening.

That's not how you invoke Ant. Read the instructions.

Or type "ant --help" or "ant -h" or "man ant" at the command line.

Unable to locate tools.jar. Expected to find it in C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\lib\tools.jar

That's not a JDK. Install the JDK. Ant will not work with only the JRE. Youcannot build
Java files with only the JRE. This is explained on the Java site. You should read the instructions.

Buildfile: C:\Users\subhabrata\Documents\lingpipe-4.1.0.tar\lingpipe-4.1.0\build

[Arne Vajhøj]

I think the other respondents have suggested you need more
experience with the Java programming environment. I agree.


the other question pondering me it is not running like the one I
experimented it is giving error as, BUILD FAILED

Setting the class path
<http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/tools/windows/classpath.html>

Usually you can run ant without setting classpath to Java.

Dear Room,



I was trying to learn Apache Ant.



I got the following information.



i)Ant is a build tool, it helps to create .exe file.

ii) Compiling is a subtask of building.



Now,

I am confused with few questions.



I was exploring the "Ant build" in Eclipse.



I could create one "build.xml" and could run successfully.



The questions are:

i) May I have to write the the "build.xml" or a build file everytime I want to build a project? Can't it be done automatic, means the generation of the .xml file?



ii) After the "build.xml" gives report like,



Hello:

[echo] Hello

BUILD SUCCESSFUL

Total time: 477 milliseconds



Where may I find .exe file? And how should I use it?



If any one of the learned members can kindly suggest?



Regards,

Subhabrata.

Dear Group(Thanks Lew),

I found the error in another library named "MALLET", so trying the following way:

First I changed JAVA_HOME environmental variable to point to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_05\lib\tools.jar

Then I used the following command,

C:\Program Files\Java\mallet-2.0.7>ant -version
Unable to locate tools.jar. Expected to find it in C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\lib\tools.jar
Apache Ant(TM) version 1.8.2 compiled on December 20 2010

am I going fine?

Regards,
Subhabrata

NB: Sorry to post garbages, I'll try to keep a check. Thanks for the suggestion.

JAVA_HOME should point to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_05 not
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_05\lib\tools.jar !

[Lew]

I found the error in another library named "MALLET", so trying the following way:

Is it spelled exactly that way, in all upper-case letters?

First I changed JAVA_HOME environmental variable to point to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_05\lib\tools.jar

That is wrong!

JAVA_HOME should indicate the *directory* where you installed the JDK.

It should *not* point to a JAR file.

Then I used the following command,

C:\Program Files\Java\mallet-2.0.7>ant -version

This does not do a build.

Unable to locate tools.jar. Expected to find it in C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\lib\tools.jar

That is not where the tools.jar is. It should be in the JDK directory. You have not installed
the JDK. Why did you ignore the advice to install the JDK?

Apache Ant(TM) version 1.8.2 compiled on December 20 2010

am I going fine?

Absolutely not.

Once again, as everyone keeps telling you, READ THE DIRECTIONS!

Install the JDK. Point JAVA_HOME to where the JDK is installed, although it is not strictly needed.
Keep the JDK command directory, where the "java" and "javac" commands reside, in your PATH.
This command directory will be a subdirectory of the $JAVA_HOME directory, if that environment
variable is set, or what would be that directory if you don't set the variable.

Read the directions. Try following the advice you get here before asking another question.

 

[Lew]

JAVA_HOME should point to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_05 not
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_05\lib\tools.jar !

Furthermore, OP, you should use a current version of Java. 7u5 is far too old.

The minor upgrades (7u21 is current) cover security and bug fixes. Do you want an insecure
or buggy version?

Dear Group,

I read the URL

"http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/tools/windows/classpath.h

tml"

I went to Computer--->Properties-->Advanced System Settings-->Environment

Variables-->ANT_HOME/JAVA_HOME

In JAVA_HOME Variable Value is now:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_21"

Updated to the latest JDK and ported Eclipse also with it.

In ANT_HOME Variable Value is now:
"C:\Program Files\Java\apache-ant-1.9.0"

While installing it tried to follow:
"http://ant.apache.org/manual/install.html"

As I am giving

C:\>Ant
Buildfile: build.xml does not exist!
Build failed

C:\>ant -version
Apache Ant(TM) version 1.9.0 compiled on March 5 2013

these are working.

Means "So Ant works."("http://ant.apache.org/manual/install.html")

But, as I am giving
C:\Program Files\Java\mallet-2.0.7>ant

The build is still failed.

I'm checking the things.

I worked out following things:

Dear Group,

I would make a detailed study also. Thank you for your kind suggestion.
But more or less all the ant commands on Lingpipe are working fine.
The build is getting failed for another Library Mallet. The instructions are given here,("http://mallet.cs.umass.edu/download.php"), the kind of trouble you are taking I can not request you to suggest. I am trying to discuss the preliminary issues with MALLET forum, if I can not get much help I am getting back to you.

Regards,
Subhabrata.

 

[Lew]

Is there a "build.xml" in that directory? Why did you ignore these questions I asked?

And you have not answered my questions. Also, how did it fail? With what messages?

Okay, I guess you're trying to build Mallet, but why? It's already built!

Dear Group,

Yes, it is fine now. There was a silly error.

"mallet.jar" in the "dist" directory within Mallet is also created.

But I can not do java -jar mallet-jar.

[Lew]

"mallet.jar" in the "dist" directory within Mallet is also created.

But I can not do java -jar mallet-jar.

First of all, even if "mallet.jar" actually is an executable JAR, calling it "mallet-jar" will not
execute it.

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/tools/windows/java.html#synopsis

Second, even if you spell the JAR name correctly, if it isn't an executable JAR then it won't
execute.
