Question

Answer 1

A:

Probably you don't have environment variable ANT_HOME set properly
It seems that you are calling Ant like this: "ant build..xml". If your ant script has name build.xml you need to specify only a target in command line. For example: "ant target1".

I set ant_home in the enviornment variable and i called the ant like ant -verbose build.xml. I am getting the same error.

2009-07-06 11:48:20

You don't have to give script's name. Call it like this "ant -verbose" and show the output here.

wheleph 2009-07-06 11:52:03

ok ok I am sorry I was giving the build.xml. I will try wiith the target now.thanx :)

2009-07-06 11:52:33

oh okay i will do it thanx

2009-07-06 11:56:46

but when i gave ant verbose. i got BUILD FAILEDTarget "verbose" does not exist in the project "MYPROJECT"

2009-07-06 11:58:30

You've missed dash. Call like this: ant -verbose

wheleph 2009-07-06 12:16:25

yeah it was mt typing mistake.I put - also

Answer 2

A:

Looks like you called it 'ant build..xml'. ant automatically choose a file build.xml in the current directory, so it is enough to call 'ant' (if a default-target is defined) or 'ant target' (the target named target will be called).

With the call 'ant -p' you get a list of targets defined in your build.xml.

Edit: In the comment is shown the call 'ant -verbose build.xml'. To be correct, this has to be called as 'ant -verbose'. The file build.xml in the current directory will be used automatically. If it is needed to explicitly specify the buildfile (because it's name isn't build.xml for example), you have to specify the buildfile with the '-f'-option: 'ant -verbose -f build.xml'. I hope this helps.

Mnementh 2009-07-06 11:09:34

i called "ant -verbose build.xml".

2009-07-06 11:41:32

let me try that.thanx

2009-07-06 12:15:54

I think that ant -p only displays targets that have a description defined.

braveterry 2009-07-27 18:52:54

@braveterry: That's right, -p only displays targets with a defined description. Normally that is used to make targets 'public' and the others private. As a creator of buildfiles you often need targets for internal use, but the user don't need to know of them. If you are curios: 'ant -p -v' displays all targets, also these without a description.

I added this to your original post.

Thomas Owens 2009-07-06 12:50:13

This is not the complete buildfile. I'm missing the root-tag (project). There is defined the default-target.

Mnementh 2009-07-06 12:50:16

<project name="MYPROJECT" default="dev" basedir=".">. this is the first line of my build.xml file and earlier I wronly copied the file. I edited it with the correct one. plz check

2009-07-06 12:53:45

Thank you very much for adding it to my orginal post :)

2009-07-06 12:54:32

but thats the wrong post:(. can you replace it with the correct one plz ,or can you tell how you did it.
