Uh, last step should better be to copy them into the file paths used by

the original ant*.jar. Avoid using lib/ext/.

Thanks for the advice. I'm having some problems when I follow your

instructions. During startup, Forte (I'm using forte 4 and not netbeans,

although I can switch if it will make any difference) displays the following

error dialog: "Could not install module Ant - The package containing class

org.apache.tools.ant.Location was not loaded". The class it complains about

is in the new v1.5 ant.jar in $FORTE_HOME/modules/ext. Do you know how I can

help Forte find what it needs in the new jar files?

Thanks,

Dave

Exit netbeans.

Move ant*.jar from $NB_HOME/modules/ext

to a safe backup location.

Copy the the jars from $ANT_HOME/lib

into $NB_HOME/lib/ext.

Start netbeans.

Has anybody succeeded in upgrading netbeans

from ant 1.4.1 to ant 1.5? Do you know when

netbeans intends to support ant 1.5?

Thanks,

I put the new ant jar files in $NBHOME/lib/ext,

instead of $NBHOME/moudules/ext.

There is likely a more elegant way to do this,

but it worked for me. ;-)

The exception you were seeing is netbeans

getting all jacked-up about not being able

to find the ant 1.4 classes. If it can find

the 1.5 classes, it will happily use them

instead of the 1.4 classes.

Ok, but if you but them in lib/ext instead of

modules/ext how do we know that Ant 1.5 is

actually being invoked when you try to use

the ant functionality?I also tried to

do some replacement of the jars and it started

screaming at me about the ant documentation.

I'll try the lib/ext replacement next but it

just seams like the integration module will

still run 1.4 ?

I just ugraded my netbeans 3.4 to use ant 1.5.1.

I have getting the following error in my build script

Unable to load dependency analyzer:

org.apache.tools.ant.util.depend.bcel.AncestorAnalyzer

I posted this to the ant user group and they said I need to copy a bcel.jar

file to my ANT_HOME/lib directory...(see emails below) where in the netbeans

directory structure should this file go?

Thanks,

Karen

Please check the WHATSNEW file that gets shipped with the Ant distribution.

You may specify dependency="none" if you don't need to include every class

your ejb refers to in the jar file you are trying to create. This will get

rid of your warning.

if you need the bcel library you can download it from the jakarta site.

http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-bcel/release/v5.0/

You need to unzip the file and copy just the bcel.jar to your ANT_HOME/lib

directory.

There is full documentation for the <ejbjar> task and it mentions how to use

the dependency property.

good luck

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

All,

I found this blurb in the WHATSNEW file in the binary distribution of Ant

1.5.1

I didn't use the "dependency" to add new files but the <ejbjar> task

completed and the jar files looks OK.

I am yet to do runtime testing of the jar file.

* <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.

I have upgraded to ant1.5 and some parts of my build script are not working

I am getting the following error message

Unable to load dependency analyzer:

Is there a list of what needs to be modified when upgraded to ant 1.5 from

ant 1.4?

Thanks
