Ant test of doc EJB example

[echofloripa]

I'm testing ant instalation, but I ahve the following problem :

when I take the "s out and make a bat of this (more than 128 char per line not allowed :( ) I get the following error :
C:\jboss\teste>C:\jdk1.3.1\bin\java -classpath C:\jdk1.3.1\lib\tools.jar;C:\jdk1
.3.1\jre\lib\rt.jar -Dant.home=C:\jakarta-ant-1.4\ org.apache.tools.ant.Main
Buildfile: build.xml

init:

ASimpleHelloObject:

compile:
[javac] Modern compiler is not available - using classic compiler
[javac] Compiling 1 source file to C:\jboss\teste

BUILD FAILED

C:\jboss\teste\build.xml:22: Cannot use classic compiler, as it is not available
A common solution is to set the environment variable JAVA_HOME to your jdk dire
ctory.

Total time: 4 seconds

obs: The JAVA_HOME is set :
.
.
BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H5 P330 T6 E620
JAVA_HOME=C:\jdk1.3.1
CLASSPATH=C:\jdk1.3.1\jre\lib\rt.jar
.
.

what's wrong???

Thanks in advance

command.com is a bit rubbish on windows 9x/ME

Try downloading cygwin, you can then use bash

I think this might be a problem with your virus scanner.

Some of the instructions in this link might help
http://globin.cse.psu.edu/ftp/dist/piptools/docs/piptools_win98.html

Obviously, you can ignore the bits relating to piptools.

in the build XML it is telling ant to use classic compiler if you commit that part out it will use what ever compiler you have

<!-- property name="build.compiler" value="jikes"/ -->
<!-- property name="build.compiler" value="classic"/ -->
<!-- property name="build.compiler" value="modern"/ -->

Actually, adding tools.jar to your ant script's classpath will fix this problem. By default, I think it looks for:
sun/tools/javac/Main.class for the 'modern' compiler. If it doesn't find it, it barfs with the message you see.

FWIW, I would definitely go with a bash type tool (cygwin is good). cmd really has some challenges.
