-Changes from Ant 1.5.1Beta1 to 1.5.1

-====================================

-

-Fixed bugs:

------------

-

-* <tstamp>'s prefix attribute failed to apply to nested <format> elements.

-

-* <junitreport> created an empty junit-noframes.html if no format had

-  been specified.

-

-* <basename> would remove more than it should if the file name

-  contained more than one dot.

-

-* <filterset>s nested into <filterset>s didn't work.

-

-Other changes:

---------------

-

-* Shipped XML parser is now Xerces 2.2.0

-

-* Filesets now support a 'file' attribute, allowing a single-file

-  fileset to be constructed without having to specify its parent

-  directory separately.

-

-* <junit> will now return the result of a call to getName instead of

-  "unknown" for Test implementations that don't extend TestCase but have

-  a public String getName() method.

-

-Changes from Ant 1.5 to 1.5.1Beta1

-==================================

-

-Fixed bugs:

------------

-* Date/time in CvsChangeLog was in local timezone and 12 hour format leading

-  to a problem when sorting by time. It is now UTC (GMT) and in 24-hour

-  format as per cvs 'specifications'.

-

-* CvsTagDiff now supports ampersand modules or modules that have a different

-  root directory than their name.

-  

-* EjbJar threw NPEs for the Websphere element. The property 'websphere.home'

-  was not documented.

-

-* Mail example in the documentation was not correct.

-

-* Checksum was broken in the following scenario: 

-  (using verifyproperty OR in a condition) AND using filesets 

-  with multiple files.

-

-* The ExpandProperties filter threw NPEs when defined using

-  the <filterreader> format.

-

-* The sh wrapper script didn't work under Cygwin if ANT_HOME wasn't

-  set with a Unix style filename.

-

-* The sh wrapper script could fail if you started Ant from a directory

-  with whitespace in its name.

-

-* ant -diagnostics was not working properly when the task dependency

-  was missing and was just printing the missing dependency.

-

-* If a task got redefined via <taskdef>, it lost its child elements.

-

-* <property>'s classpathref attribute was broken.

-

-* <arg line="''" /> would result in no command line argument, will now

-  be a single empty argument.  Use <arg value="''"/> if you need the

-  quotes literally.

-

-* <replaceregexp> could append a newline character at the end of the

-  file.

-

-Other changes:

---------------

-

-* Appendix E of Java Development with Ant (Loughran/Hatcher) was

-  contributed to the docs.

-

-* <available> will only print deprecration warnings if it is actually

-  used to change the value of a property.

-

-Changes from Ant 1.5beta3 to Ant 1.5

-====================================

-

-Changes that could break older environments:

---------------------------------------------

-

-* The filesetmanifest attribute added to <jar> after the 1.4.1 

-  release has been removed for now.  This change may affect only

-  the 1.5Beta/1.6Alpha users.  An attempt will be made to add this

-  feature back into Ant 1.6.

-

-Fixed bugs:

------------

-

-* <zip> and friends would always update existing archive if you set

-  the update attribute to true.

-

-* To support backward compatibility with older versions, <pathconvert>

-  will once again set the property, even if the result is the empty

-  string, unless the new 'setonempty' attribute is set to false|no|off

-  (default is "true").

-

-* The manifest task would crash XmlLogger

-

-Other changes:

---------------

-

-* added **/.svn and **/.svn/** to the default excludes

-

-Changes from Ant 1.5beta2 to Ant 1.5beta3

-=========================================

-

-Changes that could break older environments:

---------------------------------------------

-

-* Project.getBuildListeners now returns a clone of the listener

-  list. Changes to the returned list will not affect the listeners

-  currently attached to the Project. It also means that it is safe to

-  iterate over the returned list if listeners are added or removed

-  during the traversal.

-

-* <pvcs> default filenameformat has been different from Ant 1.4.1.

-  Now it is different from 1.5beta1 and 1.5beta2.

-

-* Some messages that are printed during startup will not be

-  written to the logfile specified via -logfile as they might destroy

-  the format of the file for special BuildLoggers (like XmlLogger).

-

-* <pathconvert> won't set the property if the result is the empty string.

-

-Fixed bugs:

------------

-

-* <available> could fail to find files or directories that happen to

-  start with the name of the project's basedir but are not children of

-  the basedir.

-

-* Nested <property>'s inside <ant> can now be overriden by subsequent

-  <ant> and <antcall> tasks.

-

-* <xslt>'s outputtype attribute wouldn't do anything.

-

-* <linecontains> filterreader could swallow lines.

-

-* <sequential> used to configure the tasks (set their attributes)

-  before the first task has been executed.  This means that properties

-  that have been set by nested task seemed to be unset for the other

-  tasks in the same <sequential> element.

-

-* <javac>'s sourcepath setting has been ignored by some compiler

-  implementations.

-

-* <javadoc>'s packagelist attribute didn't work.

-

-* the plain mailer would always use port 25 in <mail>.

-

-* Ant's default logger could swallow empty lines.

-

-* ejbjar's iPlanet nested element now can process multiple descriptors.

-

-* IPlanetEjbc was looking in the wrong place for four iiop files.

-

-* <javac> would pass the -source switch to JDK 1.3's javac, even

-  though it doesn't support it.

-

-Other changes:

---------------

-

-* <checksum> now uses a buffer (of configurable size).

-

-* The "Trying to override task definition" warning has been degraded

-  to verbose level if the two task definitions only differ in the class

-  loader instance that has loaded the definition.

-

-* Add a jvmargs to the ejbjar's weblogic element to allow additional

-  arguments to be provided to the VM runnign ejbc. Document the

-  jvmdebuglevel attribute which can be used to avoid warnings about

-  interface classess being found on the classpath. Document the new

-  <sysproperty> element which allows JVM properties to be defined.

-  Added an outputdir attribute to allow the destination to be a

-  directory into which the exploded jar is written.

-

-* ejbjar now supports Borland Enterprise Server 5 and Jonas 2.5

-

-Changes from Ant 1.5beta1 to Ant 1.5beta2

-=========================================

-

-Changes that could break older environments:

---------------------------------------------

-

-* Properties will now be expanded in mail message bodies.  This means

-that one $ sign will be stripped if your mail message contains the text

-$$.

-

-* org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Expand no longer extends MatchingTask.

-

-* Available#setFile now again uses a File argument as it did in 1.4,

-this may break environments that have been adapted to the String

-argument version present in 1.5beta1.

-

-Fixed bugs:

------------

-* When <move> attempts a rename, it deletes the destination file, if it

-  exists, before renaming the source file.  However, <move> was not

-  checking if the destination file was actually a directory before

-  trying to delete it.

-

-* Make CVS Tasks to work under Cygwin.

-

-* Fix LineContains to handle huge files elegantly without causing

-Stack Overflows.

-

-* if you ask for the "classic" compiler on Java1.4, you get upgraded to

-"modern" because there is no classic compiler any more.

-

-* the <http> condition was viewing 404 'not found' exceptions as success. Now

-it defaults to viewing any response >=400 as an error, and has an errorsBeginAt

-attribute you can use if you want a higher or lower value.

-

-* <get> throws a build exception on an http authorization error, unless you

-have set ignoreerrors to true.

-

-* <wsdltodotnet> was spelt in Wintel case: <WsdlToDotnet>. It is now lower

-case, though the old spelling is retained for anyone who used it.

-

-* Merging of Manifests in jar now works as documented.

-

-* paths that have been separated by colons would be incorrectly parsed

-on NetWare.

-

-* runant.pl now supports NetWare.

-

-* <tempfile> and <setproxy> tasks were in beta1, but not defined by

-default; They now are. <tempfile> fills a property with the name of a

-temporary file; <setproxy> lets you set the JVM's http, ftp and socks proxy

-settings.

-

-* <available classname="foo" ignoresystemclasses="true"> failed for

-JDK 1.1 and 1.2, even if the class could be found on the

-user-specified classpath.

-

-* <property environment=... /> now works on z/OS.

-

-* forked <javac> failed for the wrong reason on JDK 1.1 - Ant would

-use a temporary file to hold the names of the files to compile under

-some conditons, but 1.1 doesn't support this feature.  Ant will no

-longer try this, but you may run into problems with the length of the

-command line now.

-

-* the refid attribute for <property>s nested into <ant> or <param>s

-nested into <antcall> didn't work.

-

-* <replaceregexp> didn't work for nested <fileset>s.

-

-* <javadoc> dropped sourcepath entries if no "interesting" .java

-source files  could be found below them.  This has been backwards

-incompatible and caused problems with custom doclets like xdoclet.

-

-* Using the doclet, docletpath or docletpathref attributes of

-<javadoc> may have caused NullPointerExceptions.

-

-* nested <filesets> of <javadoc> would include too much.

-

-* <dependset> will no longer choke on <targetfileset>s that point to

-non-existing directories.

-

-* <patch> didn't work at all.

-

-* <replace> and <replaceregexp> now fail if the file they are working

-on is locked.

-

-* <javadoc> would pick up the wrong executable in the combination JDK

-1.2  and AIX.

-

-Other changes:

---------------

-

-* z/OS now gets detected by the os condition.

-

-* <fileset> and <dirset> now have an optional followsymlink attribute

-that can prevent Ant from following symbolic links on some platforms.

-

-* BeanShell is now supported in the <script> task.

-

-* <ejbjar> under Weblogic attempts to use the ejbc20 compiler for 2.0 beans

-  based on the deployment descriptor's DTD reference. Under weblogic 7.00 Beta

-  this ejbc class has been deprecated. To avoid the deprecation warning use

-  ejbcclass="weblogic.ejbc".

-

-* <ejbjar> will add a manifest to the generated jar based on the naming

-  convention in use. This overrides the manifest specified in the

-  <ejbjar> attribute

-

-

-Changes from Ant 1.4.1 to 1.5beta1

-==================================

-

-Changes that could break older environments:

---------------------------------------------

-

-* Important: Single $ signs are no longer silently stripped!

-  Before you panic that we have broken all your build files, we have kept

-  the old "$$" -> "$" behaviour. So only build files which accidentally had

-  a $ sign in a string that was being silently stripped may break.

-  We added this fix to stop newbie confusion; if you want to write a

-  build file which works on ant versions 1.4.1 or earlier, stay with

-  the double $$ sign rule.

-

-* Shipped XML parser is now Xerces 2.0.1 along with the XML Parser APIs.

-  XML Parser APIs is a separate jar that contains the necessary

-  JAXP/DOM/SAX classes.

-

-* <telnet> was fixed to expand properties inside nested <read> and

-  <write> elements; before this only happened when you assigned the text

-  to the string attribute. If you had $ signs in the string, they may

-  need escaping.

-

-* the RegexpMatcher interface has been extended to support case

-  insensitive matches and other options - custom implementations of

-  this interface won't work any longer.  We recommend to use the new

-  Regexp interface that also supports substitution instead of the

-  RegexpMatcher interface in the future.

-

-* <gzip> will throw an exception if your src attribute points to a directory.

-

-* Unjar, Unzip and Unwar will throw an exception if the Src attribute

-  represents a directory.  Support for nested filesets is provided

-  instead.

-

-* It is no longer possible to overwrite a property using tasks like

-  <condition>, <exec>, <pathconvert>, or <tstamp>. In some exceptional

-  cases it will generate a warning if you attempt to overwrite an

-  existing property.

-

-* Taskwriters please note: Whenever tasks had any overloaded set* methods,

-  Ant's introspection mechanism would select the last overloaded method

-  provided to it by the Java Runtime.  A modification has now been made such

-  that when the Java Runtime provides a method with a String as its argument,

-  a check is made to see if there is another overloaded method that takes in

-  some other type of argument.  If there is one such method, then the method

-  that takes in String as an argument is not selected by the Introspector.

-

-* The pattern definition **/._* has been included into the Default

-  Excludes list.

-

-* <propertyfile>'s <entry> element was modified to remove "never" as a value

-  as its behavior was undocumented and flakey.

-

-* The -projecthelp flag now only prints out targets that include the

-  'description' attribute, unless the -verbose or -debug flag is included

-  on the Ant command line.

-

-* Ant's testcases now require JUnit 3.7 or above, as they now use the new

-  assertTrue method instead of assert.

-

-* If the 'output' attribute of <ant> is set to a simple filename or a

-  relative path, the file is created relative to ${basedir}, not ${user.dir}.

-

-* The default value for build.compiler is now javac1.x with x

-  depending on the JDK that is running Ant instead of classic/modern.

-

-Fixed bugs:

------------

-* A bug existed that prevented generated log files from being deleted as

-  part of the build process itself.  This has now been fixed.

-

-* Fixed bug where <move> ignored <filterset>s.

-

-* Ant works properly with the combination of Java1.4/WindowsXP.

-

-* Fixed bug where <java> used to sometimes invoke class constructors twice.

-

-* Fixed bug with 4NT shell support.

-

-* Fixed bug where ant would not perform ftp without remotedir being

-  specified even though this was not mandatory.

-

-* Fixed bug where ant would not copy system properties into new Project

-  in ant/antcall tasks when inheritall="false" is set.

-

-* <propertyfile> would not close the original property file.

-

-* <ant> will no longer override a subbuild's basedir with inheritall="true".

-

-* Fixed problem with the built-in <junit> formatters which assumed

-  that only one test could be running at the same time - this is not

-  necessarily true, see junit.extensions.ActiveTestSuite.

-

-* <jar>'s whenEmpty attribute is useless as JARs are never empty, they

-  contain at least a manifest file, therefore it will now print a

-  warning and do nothing.

-

-* <typedef> hasn't been all that useful as it couldn't be used outside

-  of targets (it can now) and nested "unknown" elements have always

-  been considered to be tasks (changed as well).

-

-* <fixcrlf> would fail for files that contained lines longer than 8kB.

-

-* Some junit formatters incorrectly assumed that all testcases would

-  inherit from junit.framework.TestCase.

-

-* <fixcrlf> dropped the first characters from Mac files.

-

-Other changes:

---------------

-* Selector Elements now provide a way to create filesets based on

-  sophisticated selection criteria.

-

-* Gzip and Bzip2 files can now be constructed in the fly when using

-  the tar task without having to create the intermediate tar file on

-  disk.  The Untar task can also untar GZip and BZip2 files on the fly

-  without creating the intermediate tar file.

-

-* New optional type, <classfileset> added.

-

-* <ejbjar> now allows control over which additional classes and interfaces

-  are added to the generated EJB jars. A new attribute "dependency" can be

-  defined which controls what classes are added. The addition of classes now uses

-  the Jakarta-BCEL library rather than reflection, meaning bean classes are

-  no longer loaded into Ant's JVM. The default dependency analyzer is known as

-  the ancestor analyzer. It provides the same behaviour as the 1.4.1 version of

-  <ejbjar>. If the BCEL library is not present, a warning will be issued stating

-  the ancestor analyzer is not available. In this case <ejbjar> will continue

-  to function but will not add super classes to the jar.

-

-* <available> has a new attribute named ignoreSystemClasses.

-

-* New task <cvschangelog/> generates an XML report of changes that occur

-  on CVS repository.

-

-* New filter readers: ClassConstants, ExpandProperties, HeadFilter,

-  LineContains, LineContainsRegExp, PrefixLines, ReplaceTokens,

-  StripJavaComments, StripLineBreaks, StripLineComments, TabsToSpaces,

-  TailFilter.

-

-* <copy>, <loadfile>, <loadproperties>, <move> support FilterChains

-  of FilterReaders.

-

-* New task <loadproperties> to load contents of file as Ant properties,

-  with nested <filterchain> elements.

-

-* New task <loadfile> to load a whole file into a property.

-

-* New task <echoproperties> to list your current properties to the screen

-  or a file.

-

-* New tasks <bzip2> and <bunzip2> to pack and unpack files using the

-  BZip2 alogrithm.

-

-* New tasks <replaceregexp>, <checksum>, <translate>, <waitfor>,

-  <manifest>, <vsscp>, <vssadd>, <vsscreate>, <splash>, <basename>, <dirname>,

-  <concat>, <sourceoffsite>, <jarlib-available>, <jarlib-display>,

-  <jarlib-manifest>, <jarlib-resolve>.

-

-* A new combined <mail> task, which replaces the old <mail> and

-  <mimemail> tasks, has been added.  The <mimemail> task, and

-  old SendEmail and MimeMail classes have been deprecated.

-

-* Mail task allows specification of port number.

-

-* Users can control what <zip> and <jar> must do when duplicate files

-  are found.  A new element <zipgroupfileset> allows for multiple zip

-  files to be merged into the archive.  In addition, <jar> also has

-  another new attribute: filesetmanifest.  The existing manifest

-  attribute of <jar> now also accepts the name of a jar added through

-  a fileset.

-

-* gzip now checks that the zipfile is older than the source file

-  before rebuilding the zipfile.

-

-* TarFileset takes in three new attributes - fullpath, prefix

-  and preserveLeadingSlashes.

-

-* <move> attempts to rename the directory, if everything inside it is

-  included, before performing file-by-file moves.  This attempt will

-  be done only if filtering is off and if mappers are not used.  This

-  is a performance improvement and there is no change otherwise in

-  the funtionality of this task.

-

-* Exec task has extra attribute "resultproperty" to get the return code

-  into a property.

-

-* Exec task prints a message when a timed-out process is killed.

-

-* Added optional attributes - name, arch and version to the <os> task.

-

-* Unjar, Untar, Unwar and Unzip now support patternsets to

-  select files from an archive for extraction.  Filesets may be

-  used to select archived files for unarchival.

-

-* Javac task allows debug levels to be specified.  Debug levels

-  will have an effect only when the modern compiler or the

-  classic compiler (version 1.2 and higher) is used and debugging

-  is enabled.

-

-* Added support for specifying CVS_RSH in the <cvs/> task

-

-* The attributes zipfile, jarfile, warfile and earfile (from the Zip,

-  Jar, War and Ear tasks) have been deprecated and superseded by a

-  new attribute "destfile".

-

-* Added new conditions <isset>, <checksum>, <http>, <socket>, <contains>,

-  <filesmatch>.

-

-* <taskdef> and <typedef> will now emit a warning if a task/type of

-  the given name already exists.

-

-* A new revision of VAJ tasks: The most important new feature

-  is the ability to execute VAJ tasks from the command line by

-  exploiting the Remote Tool Access feature of VAJ.

-

-* Improved support for Novell NetWare.

-

-* Added an optional encoding attribute to <fixcrlf>.

-

-* <apply> has a new attribute relative that allows users to pass the

-  filenames as relative instead of absolute paths on the command line.

-

-* References can now be copied into the child build by <ant> and

-  <antcall> using nested <reference> elements or the new inheritRefs

-  attribute.

-

-* <fail> now supports builds to fail based on conditions via if and

-  unless attributes.

-

-* Ant now comes with two new BuildLogger implementations - one that

-  can send emails containing a log of the build process (MailLogger),

-  and one that colorizes the output based on message levels, using

-  ANSI color code escape sequences (AnsiColorLogger).

-

-* A "package" mapper type has been added to allow package directory

-  names replaced with the dotted form.

-

-* You can now specify environment variables in the <java> and <junit> tasks

-  if the fork attribute has been set to true.

-

-* -propertyfile command-line option has been added to load an entire

-  property file just as -D properties are declared (as user properties).

-  -D properties take precedence over -propertyfile specified ones.

-

-* You can now set an ANT_ARGS environment variable to hold arguments you

-  always want passed to the 'ant' command -- for example, if you always

-  want to use a different logger or the -find flag.

-

-* <tstamp> now supports a new "prefix" attribute to prefix properties set.

-

-* You can now specify the -sourcepath for <javac> explicitly.

-

-* <javac> now supports a new "listfiles" attribute to list the source

-  files it's handing off to the compiler.

-

-* The compiler implementation for <javac> can now be chosen on a task by

-  task basis.  The new "compiler" attribute of <javac> can be used to override

-  the value of the build.compiler property, if set.

-

-* <javac> has a new nested element, <compilerarg>, which allows you

-  to specify additional args for the specific compiler you're using.

-

-* <javac>'s "source" attribute is now enabled for jikes as well.

-

-* <propertyfile>'s <entry> now has a 'unit' attribute to specify the

-  increment/decrement unit on date operations.

-

-* <property> now supports a 'prefix' attribute when loading from a file

-  or resource.

-

-* In Ant 1.4, a feature has been added to the <junit> task that would

-  add ant.jar, optional.jar and junit.jar implicitly to the classpath -

-  this feature can now be disabled by setting the new includeantruntime

-  attribute to false.

-

-* <style> behaves differently from any other directory-based task, as it

-  processes all files that it finds in included directories in

-  addition to the files matched by your patterns.  There is now a new

-  attribute, 'scanincludeddirectories', to suppress this behavior.

-

-* <javadoc> now supports a <tag> nested element to provide the -tag option

-  to the standard Java 1.4 doclet. The element is ignored when not running

-  on Java 1.4.

-

-* <ftp> can now chmod files on a remote server that supports

-  "site chmod", as well as set the umask before transferring files, if

-  the server supports "site umask".

-

-* New <serverdeploy> "optional" task.

-

-* <patternset> now supports nested patternsets.

-

-* Perforce tasks now support a "failonerror" attribute (defaults to "true").

-

-* Open Source application server JOnAS support:

-    EJB hot deploy and deploy with <serverdeploy> and <ejbjar>

-

-* Added new DirSet (<dirset>) datatype.

-

-* <path> now supports nested <dirset> and <filelist> elements.

-

-* <pathconvert> now supports nested <dirset> and <filelist> elements.

-

-* <pathconvert>'s "dirsep" and "pathsep" attributes now accept

-  multi-character values.

-

-* <copy> task now has a 'failonerror' attribute to allow keep-going

-  behaviour when the file to be copied is not found (defaults to "true").

-

-* <uptodate> now has a 'srcfile' attribute to allow specifying a

-  full-path filename.

-

-* <exec>, <sql> and <java> now support append attributes to allow

-  appending the output to an existing file.

-

-* <java> now supports a timeout attribute analog to <exec> - it is

-  highly recommended to only use it together with fork="true".

-

-* <javadoc> now supports a source attribute to enable javadoc to

-  handle assertions present in JDK 1.4 source code.

-

-* <replace> supports a new replacefilterfile attribute that

-  automatically turns all properties of a given file into

-  replacefilters.

-

-* An alias of <xslt> has been added to refer to the <style> task.

-

-* The compiler implementation for <rmic> can now be chosen on a task by

-  task basis.  The new "compiler" attribute of <rmic> can be used to override

-  the value of the build.rmic property, if set.

-

-* <rmic> has a new nested element, <compilerarg>, which allows you

-  to specify additional args for the specific compiler you're using.

-

-* org.apache.tools.ant.XmlLogger now is a BuildLogger, rather than just

-  a BuildListener. It can operate in either mode successfully.

-

-* <junit> has a new attribute "showoutput".  If set to true, output

-  generated by tests will be sent to Ant's logging system as well as

-  to the formatters (instead of sending it to the formatters

-  exclusively).

-

-* Ant has now a pluggable way to prompt users for input, which is used

-  by the new <input> task.  IDE integrators can provide an

-  implementation of the InputHandler interface to decouple Ant's input

-  from the console.  An implementation that gets its input from a file

-  for unattended builds is part of Ant's distribution.

-

-  For more details see docs/manual/inputhandler.html.

-

-* <patch> has a new attribute that selects the directory in which to

-  run the command.

-

-* <javadoc> now supports two new nested elements, <fileset> and <packageset>.

-

-Changes from Ant 1.4 to Ant 1.4.1

-===========================================

-

-Fixed bugs:

------------

-

-* <ant>'s antfile attribute will now also be considered an absolute path on

-  Windows systems, if it starts with a \ and no drive specifier.

-

-* The fullpath attribute of <zipfileset> has been ignored if you used

-  the src attribute at the same time.

-

-* The manifest file is now always placed as the second entry (after /META-INF)

-  in generated jars. This allows the manifest to be read by JarInputStreams

-

-* Fixed bug in depend task which would fail with a NullPointerException if no

-  dependency cache was specified.

-

-* sql task now handles REM statements correctly so that lines starying with rem

-  but which are not comments are actually processed.

-

-* XMLLogger now uses the task's name rather than the classname

-

-* <mapper>s will now work as expected if the to pattern expands to an

-  absolute pathname.

-

-* <javac> didn't ignore memory settings in non-fork mode

-

-* <cab> didn't split the options attribute into several command line

-  arguments correctly.

-

-Other changes:

---------------

-

-* New source attribute for <javac> to enable assertion in JDK 1.4

-

-* XmlLogger and <antstructure> now add an encoding declaration to the

-  XML files they generate.

-

-* <fileset> has a new attribute "casesensitive" to make it match

-  filenames in a case insensitive way (if you set it to false) - by

-  default filesets remain case sensitive.

-

-Changes from Ant 1.3 to Ant 1.4

-===========================================

-

-Changes that could break older environments:

---------------------------------------------

-* JUnitReport now uses the xalan redirect extension for multi-output.

-  With Xalan 1.2.2 it forces the use of bsf.jar in the classpath.

-  (Available in the xalan distribution). It is recommended to switch

-  to Xalan 2.x that do not need it.

-

-* Zip.setWhenempty() has changed its signature.

-

-* <rmic> is now implemented using a factory. This makes extending

-  rmic to use a new compiler a lot easier but may break custom

-  versions of this task that rely on the old implementation.

-

-* several Zip methods have changed their signature as we now use a Zip

-  package of our own that handles Unix permissions for directories.

-  Furthermore <zip> will now use the platform's default character

-  encoding for filenames - this is consistent with the command line

-  ZIP tools, but causes problems if you try to open them from within

-  Java and your filenames contain non US-ASCII characters. Use the new

-  encoding attribute of the task and set it to UTF8 to get the old

-  behavior.

-

-* The <pvcs> task has been moved to a package of its own.

-

-* JUnitResultFormater has two additional methods that must be

-  implemented by custom formatters.

-

-* Ant will no longer use the canonical version of a path internally -

-  this may yield different results on filesystems that support

-  symbolic links.

-

-* The output generated by the xml formatter for <junit> has changed

-  again, it doesn't format the numeric value in the time attribute anymore.

-

-* Pattern matching rules have changes slightly, the pattern foo*

-  doesn't match files contained in a directory named foo - use foo/*

-  instead.

-

-* <fixcrlf> will not remove trailing whitespace at the end of lines anymore.

-

-* The Classloader usage has been changed for the taskdef, property, available

-  and sql tasks so that it delegates to the parent classloader. This may cause

-  ClassNotFoundExceptions to be thrown if a system class attempts to load a

-  class in the taskdef's classpath (typically factory objects).

-

-* Ant now allows multithreading of tasks and the containment of tasks within

-  other tasks. This can break customer listeners which do not expect messages

-  from a task before the previous task has finished.

-

-* Ant now installs its own ouput stream into System.out to route output to the

-  task currently executing on the current thread. This also means that all

-  output is now routed as Ant message events. Customer listeners and loggers

-  should not call System.out at any time. This has always been true but such

-  usage now will cause problems due to possible recursion.

-

-* Invalid manifest files will now cause build failures in the <jar> task.

-

-* Ant Introspection now looks for methods with method names starting with

-  addConfigured. When called these methods are passed an argument after it has

-  been configured from the build file. Custom tasks supporting nested elements

-  starting with the name configured will no longer function.

-

-* The environment variable JAVACMD that can be used to specify the

-  java executable to Ant's wrapper scripts must not contain additional

-  command line parameters any longer - please use the environment

-  variable ANT_OPTS for such parameters now.

-

-* Ant's wrapper scripts now quote the CLASSPATH environment variable, thus

-  supporting classpaths which refer to directories containing spaces. This means

-  that the CLASSPATH environment variable cannot have quotes. Any quotes should

-  be removed. This will not affect the operation of the CLASSPATH environment

-  variable in other contexts.

-

-* A delete task like

-  <delete includeEmptyFilesets="true">

-    <fileset dir="somedir" />

-  </delete>

-  will now remove "somedir" as well, unless there are still files left

-  in it (matched by the default excludes).

-

-* The copy task will now fail if the file to be copied is not found.

-

-* Ant properties defined in properties files now behave the same way as

-  properties defined in the build file. In particular the $ character needs

-  to be escaped in property values by doubling it to $$. So, to define a

-  property with the value $hello, you need to define it in a properties file

-  as

-    test.prop=$$hello

-  This was not the case in Ant 1.3

-

-Other changes:

---------------

-

-* New tasks: ear, p4counter, record, cvspass, vsscheckin, vsscheckout,

-  typedef, sleep, mimemail, set of tasks for Continuus/Synergy, dependset,

-  condition, maudit, mmetrics, jpcoverage, jpcovreport, jpcovmerge

-

-* Ant now uses JAXP 1.1

-

-* rmic now supports Kaffe's and Weblogic's version of rmic.

-

-* new magic property build.rmic to chose the rmic implementation

-

-* <tar> will now add empty directories as well

-

-* you can now specify a description for <p4change>

-

-* <touch> can now work on <fileset>s

-

-* <uptodate> now supports a value attribute

-

-* <fail> supports nested text

-

-* <fixcrlf> won't override files that are already in the correct

-   format.

-

-* <sql> now supports REM comments as well as // and --

-

-* <jar> now has a nested <metainf> element following the same idea as

-  <war>'s <webinf>.

-

-* <pvcs> can now handle multiple projects.

-

-* <available> now has a "type" attribute you can use in conjunction

-  with the "file" attribute to specify whether the "file" you're

-  looking for is a file or a directory.

-

-* New <junit> formatter named "brief"

-

-* <ejbjar> changes

-  * Add support for Borland Application Server to the <ejbjar> task using

-    a <borland> nested element.

-  * Add support for iPlanet Application Server to the <ejbjar> task. Also

-    includes some iPlanet utility tasks

-  * Add support for JBoss Application Server to the <ejbjar> task.

-  * Add a naming attribute to control the naming scheme that

-    ejbjar uses to name the generated EJB jars.

-  * Weblogic element now sets the compiler class for EJB 2.0 beans

-  * <dtd> elements can be specified at the <ejbjar> level for building generic

-    beans

-  * <dtd> elements can now be URLs

-  * Allow the manifest to be specified for the generated jars

-  * The weblogic element now supprts an attribte noEJBC to skip the processing

-    of the jar by ejbc. The ejbc step will then occur at deployment

-  * weblogic will tell ejbc to use Jikes compiler if build.compiler is set to

-    jikes. It can be restored to the default, javac, operation if desired.

-

-* Allow the <sql> Delimiter to be set in the so that Oracle stored procs may be

-  entered

-

-* <execon> and <apply> can now optionally skip empty filesets.

-

-* <javadoc> has a new useexternalfile attribute that makes it use a

-  temporary file for sourcefile and package names - helps to defeat

-  command line length limitations.

-

-* Data types like <path> can now be defined inside of <target>s

-

-* you can now specify a classpath for <style> - the XSLZ processor

-  will be loaded from this path

-

-* added a force attribute to <style> to support dependencies that the

-  task cannot determine itself (dependency on parameters, not file

-  modification times for example)

-

-* added vmlauncher attribute to exec tasks. This defaults to true. If

-  it is set to false, the VM's ability to launch commands in bypassed

-  and the OS shell, either directly or through the auxillary antRun

-  scripts is used.

-

-* regexp mapper now supports the java.util.regex package of JDK 1.4.

-

-* New filesonly attribute for <zip> and friends to suppress directory

-  entries.

-

-* New update attribute for <zip> and friends - update an existing

-  archive instead of creating a new one.

-

-* <apply> and <execon> have been merged into a single task.

-

-* added vssver.scc to the default excludes

-

-* <available> has a new filepath attribute/nested element that allows

-  you top search for a file in a given path.

-

-* <junit> can now optionally set a property on test failure.

-

-* <taskdef> can now define several tasks at once, reading the

-  name/classname pairs from a property file or resource.

-

-* <unzip/unjar/unwar> and <untar> now have an overwrite attribute that

-  defaults to true.  If set to false, files that are newer than the

-  files in the archive will not be replaced.

-

-* <patternset> and <fileset> now support nested <in/excludesfile>

-  elements - using these you can have more than one in/excludes file

-  per <patternset>.

-

-* Three new supported compilers for javac: kjc for kopi, gcj for the

-  gcc frontend and sj for Symantec's compiler.

-  In addition extJavac or the new fork attribute can be

-  used to run the JDK's javac in a JVM separate from Ant.

-

-* <fixrlf> can now with CR only line-ends and can use an arbitraty

-  between 2 and 80.

-

-* The .NET tasks have been adapted to the beta2 release of the framework.

-

-* <move> will now try to rename() files before copying them byte by

-  byte - only if filtering is of, of course.

-

-* <ant> and <antcall> tasks now support a new attribute inheritAll. When set to

-  false, only user properties are passed through to the target Ant instance.

-  This includes properties set on the command line and properties explicitly

-  passed

-

-* <javadoc> now skips off line links if the package list cannot be found.

-

-* <wlrun> now allows the security policy file to exist outside the weblogic

-  directory.

-

-* <java> task will set the Thread contextClassLoader under JDKs 1.2+ to the

-  classloader for the class being executed.

-

-* Introduce the concept of a TaskContainer - a task or element which can contain

-  Ant Tasks.

-

-* Add new tasks implementing the TaskContainer interface <parallel> and

-  <sequential> which allow parallel execution of tasks to be specified.

-

-* <depend> task will now take into account dependencies on jar files and class

-  files from a given classpath.

-

-* <jar> manifest entries may now be specified in the build file either

-  completely or to be merged with a manifest file.

-

-* <tstamp> task custom formats now support locales.

-

-* Added a listner which will forward events to Log4J. The log4j configuration

-  file should be in the directory from which Ant is run or passed as a system

-  property using a JVM argument.

-

-* Introduced the concept of <filtersets> to allow for more control in which

-  filters get applied in a <copy> or <move> operation.

-

-* Added nowarn attribute to javac and deprecated the Jikes-magic property

-  build.compiler.warnings.

-

-* The <depend> task cache format has changed and all dependency information is

-  now stored in a single file.

-

-Fixed bugs:

------------

-

-* Testcases have been made independent of current working directory.

-

-* Input ZIP-Files will be closed when using a <zipfileset>.

-

-* p4 tasks now don't fail if user, port or client have been omitted

-  (and this is acceptable for the context of the command).

-

-* <javah>'s outputfile attribute will be resolved as relative to the

-  projects basedir.

-

-* <antstructure> should create a valid DTD for propertyfile.operation.entry

-  and omit tasks it fails to load.

-

-* won't try to pass a -bootclasspath flag to javac 1.1 anymore

-

-* <style>'s style attribute no handles absolute paths correctly.

-

-* <delete includeemptydirs="true"> now deletes more than just the leaf

-  directories.

-

-* You can now specify a <fileset> for a directory that doesn't exist at

-  declaration time but will created before the fileset gets used for the

-  first time.

-

-* If the quiet attribute has been set, <delete> will handle <fileset>s

-  with non-existing directories gracefully.

-

-* Output written by testcases will now be captured by the <junit> task

-  and passed to the formatters.

-

-* Quote the -group parameter to Javadoc as per the specification

-

-* Initialise classes when loaded through the AntClassLoader - that is, run

-  static initializers

-

-* Implement getResource() and getResources() in AntClassLoader

-

-* Create the <ejbjar> weblogic command line as a set of arguments rather than

-  as a single line. Avoids problems with paths which contain spaces.

-

-* <ejbjar> now fails when the weblogic ejbc compiler reports an error.

-

-* Make the AntClassLoader load resources in the same order as it currently

-  loads classes.

-

-* Handle classpaths with spaces

-

-* Make sure XSLT processors close their output files in <style>.

-

-* perform proper uptodate check in <rmic> when compiling for IIOP.

-

-* <jjtree>'s uptodate test works even if outputdirectory is not the

-  parent dir of target

-

-* <copy> will remove target file (if it exists) before writing to it -

-  this avoids problems with links on filesystems that support them.

-

-* <ftp> now properly recurses remote directories.

-

-* <ftp> closes remote connection when it's done.

-

-* <junit> tries to include all necessary classes for the task itself

-  to the classpath when running in fork mode - doesn't work for JDK 1.1

-

-* <apply> and <execon> do now execute the command only once, if you

-  specify the parallel attribute - instead of once per fileset.

-

-* directory based tasks and fileset could miss some included files in

-  directories that have been excluded

-

-* <fixcrlf> failed for large files.

-

-* <move> removed files you tried to move to themselves.

-

-* <sql> task will not trty to print the result set unless the query succeeded.

-

-* Ant classloader will now ignore paths which are invalid relative to the

-  project base

-

-* <ejbjar> weblogic elements check for jar file changes has been fixed.

-  Previously some changes would not be included.

-

-* properties loaded from properties files are now resolved internally. This

-  removes the spurious warnings about usage of properties which have not been

-  set.

-

-* <jar> task and friends now process the JAR manifest to ensure it is valid.

-

-* The task finished event now includes any exception thrown by the task.

-

-* <java> task now supports a jvmVersion attribute so that if another JVM is

-  being used, Ant can determine which options to use for features such as the

-  VM memory limits

-

-

-Changes from Ant 1.2 to Ant 1.3

-===========================================

-

-Changes that could break older environments:

---------------------------------------------

-

-* Ant doesn't search for the buildfile anymore, unless you use the new

-  -find argument.

-

-* <perforce> has been replaced by a number of new tasks.

-

-* <javac> is now implemented using a factory. This makes extending

-  javac to use a new compiler a lot easier but may break custom

-  versions of this task that rely on the old implementation.

-

-* The output generated by the xml formatter for <junit> has changed a

-  little, it doesn't append " sec" in the time attribute anymore.

-

-Other changes:

---------------

-

-* A GUI Frontend: Antidote. This is currently in development. At this

-  time, this is not part of the Ant release, although the source is

-  included if you are interested.

-

-* New tasks: stylebook, propertyfile, depend, antlr, telnet, csc,

-  ilasm, apply, javah, several clearcase tasks, junitreport, sound

-

-* Added output attribute to <java>.

-

-* Added nested zipfileset element to <zip>

-

-* Changed <sql> so that printing is at the task level rather than

-  the statement level.

-

-* javadoc task will pass -d flag to any doclet if the destDir attribute is

-  given. If the doclet does not accept the -d flag then omit the destdir

-  attribute.

-

-* <cab> can work on non-Windows platforms with the help of libcabinet.

-  See http://trill.cis.fordham.edu/~barbacha/cabinet_library/.

-

-* <ftp> now supports passive mode.

-

-* New <mapper> data type that can be used to get influence on the

-  target files for some tasks like <copy> or enable new types of tasks

-  like <apply>.

-

-* <execon> provides more control over the command line now, the names

-  of the source files are no longer required to be at the end of the

-  command.

-

-* Style tasks will now support TraX compliant XSL processors if one is present

-  in your classpath.

-

-* Added a failonerror to the javac task. If set to false, the build will

-  continue even if there are compilation errors.

-

-* Added nested format elements to the tstamp task allowing additional time

-  formats to be defined for arbitrary properties.

-

-* Added classpath attribute and nested classpath element to <property>

-  to make the resource attribute more powerful.

-

-* ${} property expansion will now be performed on the patterns read

-  from files specified as includesfile or excludesfile attributes.

-

-* The <tar> and <untar> tasks now support GNU format for handling paths

-  which are greater than 100 characters in length. In addition the <tar>

-  task now supports nested filesets through which the file permissions

-  may be controlled.

-

-* wlrun, wlstop and ejbjar now support Weblogic 6.0

-

-* The MPasre task has been updated to work with MParse 2.0

-

-* The documentation has been significantly updated.

-

-

-Fixed bugs:

------------

-

-* <signjar> doesn't use deprectated methods anymore.

-

-* javadoc's failonerror attribute works again

-

-* javadoc's additionalparam attribute will now be split into separate

-  parameters (on spaces) to allow for more than one parameter.

-

-* Changed <sql> task so that printing result sets works on Oracle

-

-* Changes to ddcreator and ejbc helper to respect the descriptor hierarchy

-  keppgenerated in ejbc can now be turned off

-

-* ejbjar now correctly ignores <ejb-ref> elements in the deployment descriptor.

-  CMP files are included by parsing the weblogic deployment descriptor rather

-  than relying on the naming convention used in ant 1.2

-

-* ejbjar includes super classes and super interfaces into the generated ejb

-  jar files. The <support> nested element allows support classes to be

-  included in the EJB jar. The toplink element should now correctly locate

-  the toplink descriptor.

-

-* <vssget> now correctly deals with spaces in arguments

-

-* <jar> fails early if a given manifest file doesn't exist

-

-* <rmic> doesn't search for the _Skel file anymore when stubversion is

-  set to 1.2.

-

-* <rmic> uses the the same classpath to verify a class can be rmic'd

-  as it passes to the compiler.

-

-* org.apache.tools.mail.MailMessage (and therefore <mail>) can now

-  handle SMTP servers sending multi line responses.

-

-* nested <classpath> elements of <taskdef> now work for <taskdef>s not

-  nested into <target> as well.

-

-* <property> and <available> will search for the resource "foo" instead

-  of "/org/apache/tools/ant/taskdefs/foo" when given a relative resource

-  name foo.

-

-* Handle build files in directories whose name contained a "#" character

-

-* <junit> can now log to files whose name contains a comma as well.

-

-* The AntClassLoader now refers to the loader which loaded it, any

-  requests it does not handle itself. Previously these went to the

-  primordial loader.

-

-Changes from Ant 1.1 to Ant 1.2

-===============================

-

-Changes that could break older environments:

---------------------------------------------

-

-* Semantics of <property> has changed again in the hope to be more

-intuitive. ${} expansion now happens at runtime and <property> tags

-living inside of targets only take effect if they are visited at

-runtime.

-

-As a side effect of this change, task's attributes get set at runtime

-not at parser time as well, which might change the results of

-<script>s or other custom tasks that reference other tasks by their id

-attribute.

-

-* copying of support files in <javac> has been removed - as well as

-the filtering attribute.

-

-* the <expand> and <keysubst> tasks have been removed.

-

-* the ignore and items attributes of directory based tasks have been removed.

-

-* the command line switches _not_ starting with - have been removed.

-

-* Path and EnumeratedAttribute have been moved from

-org.apache.tools.ant to org.apache.tools.ant.types.

-

-* the class attributes of <available>, <java>, <rmic> and <taskdef>

-have been removed.

-

-* the src attribute of <chmod> has been removed.

-

-* <patch> and <javadoc> have lost some of their attributes.

-

-* <java> and <cvs> have lost some undocumented attributes.

-

-* the Unix antRun script would search for command.sh in the directory

-it changed to and invoke this instead of command if present. This

-behavior has been dropped.

-

-* <ejbjar> task syntax has been changed significantly

-

-* <exec> is no longer implemented by org.apache.tool.ant.taskdefs.Exec.

-Custom tasks that rely on Project.createTask("exec") to return an

-instance of this class are going to fail.

-

-* nested <include> and <exclude> elements expect the value of their

-name attribute to be a single pattern, they don't accept multiple

-patterns anymore. Split them into multiple elements of the same type.

-

-* <delete dir="somedir" /> will now delete the directory itself as

-well as all included files. If you just want to clean out the

-directory and keep the empty one, use a nested fileset.

-

-Other changes:

---------------

-

-* New tasks: antstructure, cab, execon, fail, ftp, genkey, jlink,

-junit, sql, javacc, jjtree, starteam, war, unwar, uptodate,

-native2ascii, copy, move, mparse.

-

-* copydir, copyfile, deltree and rename are now deprecated. They

-should be replaced with the new copy, delete and move tasks.

-

-* <java> uses a ClassLoader of its own in no-fork mode if a classpath is

-specified.

-

-* <style> will create the necessary target directories and reprocess

-all files if the stylesheet changes.

-

-* New data types fileset and patternset - expected to get a broader use.

-They, as well as PATH like structures, can now be defined on a global

-level and later be referenced by their id attribute.

-

-* You can specify environment variables to <exec>.

-

-* <get> can check whether a remote file is actually newer than a local

-copy before it starts a download (HTTP only).

-

-* Added a -logger option to allow the class which performs logging to be

-specified on the command line.

-

-* Added a -emacs option to tell the logger to leave out taskname adornments

-on log output.

-

-* <chmod> works on all files in parallel and supports multiple filesets.

-

-* <replace> can now use tokens and/or values that cross line boundaries.

-

-* build.compiler supports now jvc as well.

-

-* project specific help can now be obtained with the -projecthelp option.

-

-* Added a -debug option to make -verbose less verbose (and more useful)

-

-* Ant will now search for a file named build.xml in the parent directory

-and above (towards the root of the filesystem) if you didn't specify

--buildfile and there is no build.xml in the current directory.

-

-* <echo> can now write to a file and accepts nested text.

-

-Fixed bugs:

------------

-

-* <chmod> didn't work when used as a directory based task.

-

-* Path, Available, Property didn't resolve relative filenames with

-respect to the Project's basedir.

-

-* Project didn't interpret the basedir attribute correctly in all

-cases.

-

-* Nested <src> in <javac> caused NullPointerException.

-

-* Corrupt Zip- and Jar-files ar now deleted if the task fails.

-

-* many more fixes we've forgotten to document here ...

-

-* The packagelistloc attribute of <javadoc>'s <link> child will be

-  resolved as a file (i.e. it is either absolute or relative to

-  basedir).
