In Maven 3.0.x (I tried 3.0.2) you can disable maven-jar-plugin by binding the default-jar execution to a nonexistent phase, as @bmargulies suggested. Unfortunately that doesn’t work in 2.2.1, but you can prevent it from interfering with your own jar by setting an alternative <finalName> and <classifier> for the default-jar execution; it will still create a … Read more
Ant-style path patterns matching in spring-framework: The mapping matches URLs using the following rules: ? matches one character * matches zero or more characters ** matches zero or more ‘directories’ in a path {spring:[a-z]+} matches the regexp [a-z]+ as a path variable named “spring” Some examples: com/t?st.jsp – matches com/test.jsp but also com/tast.jsp or com/txst.jsp … Read more
Available and Condition <target name=”check-abc”> <available file=”abc.txt” property=”abc.present”/> </target> <target name=”do-if-abc” depends=”check-abc” if=”abc.present”> … </target>
Looks like your runtime classpath is missing the jar containing the class org.supercsv.io.ICsvBeanReader. The gotcha is that you cannot set the classpath from the command-line when calling an executable jar. You have to set it within the manifest as follows: <target name=”dist” depends=”compile” description=”Generates distributable”> <!– creates the distribution directory –> <mkdir dir=”${dist}/lib” /> <!– … Read more
Creating a local ivy repository is straight forward, maven is not required. Here’s an example of publishing some text files using ivy as a standalone program. I have 3 files I want to publish: src/English.txt src/Spanish.txt src/Irish.txt The ivy file src/ivy.xml details the name of the module and a list of the artifacts being published. … Read more
Problem 1: For the FE_FLOATING_POINT_EQUALITY issue, you should not be comparing two float values directly with the == operator, since due to tiny rounding errors, the values might be semantically “equal” for your application even if the condition value1 == value2 does not hold true. In order to fix this, modify your code as follows: … Read more
Here is the solution without scripting and no external jars like ant-conrib: The trick is to use ANT’s resources: There is one resource type called “propertyresource” which is like a source file, but provides an stream from the string value of this resource. So you can load it and use it in any task like … Read more

Use the <apply> task. It executes a command once for each file. Specify the files by means of filesets or any other resource. <apply> is built-in; no additional dependency needed; no custom task implementation needed. It’s also possible to run the command only once, appending all files as arguments in one go. Use the parallel … Read more
It sounds like you have it setup right. What happens if you try something like this, which worked for me: C:\>set ANT_HOME=C:\apache-ant-1.8.1 C:\>set JAVA_HOME=C:\jdk1.6.0_24 C:\>set PATH=%ANT_HOME%\bin;%JAVA_HOME%\bin C:\>ant -version Apache Ant version 1.8.1 compiled on April 30 2010 This also worked for me by setting up environment variables, like so:
