This is my first attempt at writing an ANT script. This is my build.xml for a simple Hello World app using Spring.
<project name="MyFirstApp" default="jar" basedir="..">
<property name="src" location="src"/>
<property name="build" location="build"/>
<property name="lib" location="/WebContent/WEB-INF/lib"/>
<path id="classpath-example">
<fileset dir="${build}" includes="*.jar"/>
</path>
<target name="clean">
<delete dir="build"/>
</target>
<target name="compile">
<mkdir dir="build/classes"/>
<javac srcdir="${src}" destdir="build/classes" includeantruntime="false"/>
<classpath refid="classpath-example"/>
</target>
<target name="jar">
<mkdir dir="build/jar"/>
<jar destfile="build/jar/MyFirstApp.jar" basedir="build/classes"/>
</target>
<target name="run">
<java jar="build/jar/MyFirstApp.jar" fork="true"/>
</target>
</project>
when i try to run this the following error message is displayed.
Problem: failed to create task or type classpath Cause: The name is undefined. Action: Check the spelling. Action: Check that any custom tasks/types have been declared. Action: Check that any / declarations have taken place.
Can someone please tell me what is to be done?
The first time i ran the ANT script, the JAR file was generated. When i tried running it again , it gives the below mentioned error.
