Ant Build Issue

[hkduke]

Greetings

Realizing fully well that 1st impressions are lasting I still have a quick rather newbie style question for this group ..

I just downloaded src for jboss (in Websphere Studio App Dev) and am trying to build src/build/build.xml thru the WSAD internal ANT engine.

I get this - "Cannot use the classic compiler for javac as it is not available"

OK so I am new to ANT tho believe me I've done enough work with AppServers - internals I mean - ..

Any help is appreciated.

PS - I did look at the build.compiler setting of "classic" and try to use my JDK13 compiler path instead but to no avail.

Building JBoss is currently only supported by using the command line build.sh or build.bat scripts.

I personally don't know anything about WSAD, so I can't help you there at all.

There are many dependency libraries (with specific versions) that must be used to build the system correctly, inclucing some custom tasks which glue together the different modules.

It is planned to proivide more support of other entry points (like WSAD or even a preinstalled Ant), but it is not currently supported.

Refer to the buildsystem guide and faq for more information:
