Absolute paths in ant files

tpedone Aug 25, 2003 5:07 PM

While we use Eclipse for our day to day development, our production build and deployment is done with Ant. Because the Ant files that are generated via the XDoclet generator and Packager contain absolute paths, we can't use them in our own Ant script; absolute paths are a big no-no.

Is this something that might change in the near future?

Hi,

The absolute path were adopted when dealing with dependent projects being on differents filesystem/drives.
It is also used because, when creating the classpath for XDoclet, Eclipse sometimes returns relative paths and sometimes absolute paths.
I agree that it is a big no-no. Feel free to submit a patch to correct this. Otherwise, post a feature request at SourceForge.

Laurent.
