<h1><a name="feedback">Feedback</a> and Troubleshooting</h1>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>If things do not work, especially simple things like <tt>ant -version</tt>,
|
|
|
|
|
then something is wrong with your configuration. Before filing bug reports and
|
|
|
|
|
emailing all the ant mailing lists</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Check your environment variables. Are ANT_HOME and JAVA_HOME correct? If
|
|
|
|
|
they have quotes or trailing slashes, remove them.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Unset CLASSPATH; if that is wrong things go horribly wrong. Ant does not
|
|
|
|
|
need the CLASSPATH variable defined to anything to work.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Make sure there are no versions of crimson.jar or other XML parsers in JRE/ext</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Is your path correct? is Ant on it? What about JDK/bin? have you tested
|
|
|
|
|
this? If you are using Jikes, is it on the path? A createProcess error (especially
|
|
|
|
|
with ID=2 on windows) usually means executable not found on the path.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Which version of ant are you running? Other applications distribute a copy
|
|
|
|
|
-it may be being picked up by accident.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>If a task is failing to run is optional.jar in ANT_HOME/lib? Are there any
|
|
|
|
|
libraries which it depends on missing?</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>If a task doesn't do what you expect, run <tt>ant -verbose</tt> or <tt>ant
|
|
|
|
|
-debug</tt> to see what is happening</li>
|
|
|
|
|
</ol>

<p>If you can't fix your problem, start with the <a href="http://ant.apache.org/mail.html" target="_top">Ant
|
2002-02-28 22:40:18 +00:00
|
|
|
User Mailing List</a> . These are other ant users who will help you learn to
|
|
|
|
|
use ant. If they cannot fix it then someone may suggest filing a bug report,
|
|
|
|
|
which will escalate the issue. Remember of course, that support, like all open
|
|
|
|
|
source development tasks, is voluntary. If you haven't invested time in helping
|
|
|
|
|
yourself by following the steps above, it is unlikely that anyone will invest
|
|
|
|
|
the time in helping you. </p>

|
|
|
|
nor the individuals whose names appears in the source and documentation. If
|
|
|
|
|
they answered all such emails, nobody would have any time to improve ant. </p>
