Is there an easy way to have the Ant logger (default or other) add a timestamp to each message? The only way I can think of is to use the Log4jListener and have its settings include the timestamp. Or write a custom logger that subclasses DefaultLogger and writes the timestamp. If there's a better or easier way (preferably without req...
Hi, I'm using IBM RAD as the IDE and Websphere Application Server v6.0 to deploy applications.

I'm looking for a tool to run java server processes as daemon services in Linux (and potentially on Windows and other OS's). I'm looking for the best practices when it comes to how to build production capable scripts and launch configuration. I'm familiar with best practices when it comes to a project's build, using Apache Maven, or som...

I'm picking up support on a project that is currently built with MyEclipse and has a decent sized development team that has been working without any CI processes. From what I can tell, the MyEclipse folks don't see any value in being able to build outside of the Eclipse platform, which makes no sense at all to me. Continuous Integratio...
Hi there. For a java project I'd like to merge all third-party jars it depends on into the main jar created by Apache Ant, which I already managed to do. The problem is that some of these jar-files have signature-files in their META-INF-directories, so when I try to run my jar-file, I get the error message "Invalid signature file dige...
I am new to using ANT and am trying to include third party jars in the build using Eclipse 3.5. I keep getting "cannot find symbol" errors in the compilation, so obviously it is not taking these two jars into consideration. If anyone can show me where I am going wrong, or suggest another route, I would appreciate it. Thanks. JarPath bel...
Using Hudson, Ant 1.7, Tomcat 6.20, JDK 1.6 and JDK 1.5; all on Windows boxes. My Ant build script for a WAR file uses JARs stored on a remote server. The directory path to the remote server is mapped as a network drive in Windows. A build.properties file is used to specify the paths to the JAR dependencies. When building with Ant, e...
