.ant.properties

[zaaba]

I am on page 23 of the Getting Started docs.

I am trying to configure .ant.properties with jboss.home and xdoclet.home.

My jboss.home is C:\jboss-3.0.4_tomcat-4.1.12 and contains the directories bin, client server etc...

My xdoclet.home is xdoclet.home=C:\jboss-3.0.4_tomcat-4.1.12\src\xdoclet

I called up the build.xml file in my browser and saw the following:





-
Property "jboss.home" is not set. Please use the file ".ant.properties" in this directory ${basedir} to set this property. It must point to the directory which contains the following directory: "deploy", "conf", "tmp" etc.

-
Property "jboss.home" is set but it does not seem to point to the right directory. The file "run.jar" must be available at ${jboss.home}/bin.

-
Property "xdoclet.home" is not set. Please use the file ".ant.properties" in this directory ${basedir} to set this property. It must point to the root directory of XDoclet distribution.

-
Property "xdoclet.home" is set but it does not seem to point to the right directory. The file "xdoclet.jar" must be available at ${xdoclet.home}/lib.

I was sure that .ant.properties was OK

Can anyone see why?

if the error message is accurate, then your jboss.home should point to something like:
C:\jboss-3.0.4_tomcat-4.1.12\server\default

or

C:\jboss-3.0.4_tomcat-4.1.12\server\all

or something similar (depending which config you're running, default|all|custom)

If I read the documentation correctly, all paths in the .ant.properties file needs to have forward slahses '/' instead of the user backslahses '\' in your example, even in a Win32 environment.

Give it a try - it worked for me,
