  1. POWhy does eclipse look in the 'workspace' directory for sources instead of those in the ant script?
    text
    copied!<p>I have an ant script with the following header:</p> <p><code>&lt;project name="Simple ActiveJDBC Example" default="clean" basedir="."&gt;</code></p> <p>And then somewhere below:</p> <pre><code>&lt;target name="compile" depends="clean"&gt; &lt;javac srcdir="src" destdir="${classes}" debug="on" optimize="off" deprecation="off" includeantruntime="false"&gt; &lt;classpath refid="compile_classpath"/&gt; &lt;/javac&gt; &lt;/target&gt; </code></pre> <p>Eclipse it seems searches for the <code>src</code> directory in the 'wrong' location! Since this script works perfectly fine when running the ant build from the command prompt. I am no ant expert but this thing is just driving me nuts :) Any ideas? Here's the error that I get for the above code where <code>src</code> is specified:</p> <pre><code>C:\Users\Nupul\Documents\MyProject\ActiveJDBC\ant-example\build.xml:50: srcdir "C:\Users\Nupul\workspace\Simple ActiveJDBC Example\src" does not exist! </code></pre> <p>As you can see the build.xml file is located in the upper path but eclipse seems to somehow search in the workspace directory and that too with the <code>project name</code> in the xml file and NOT in the directory where it's located!! I have absolutely no idea how to override this behavior. </p> <p>All paths are correctly handled in the xml (as observed if you hover over the <code>&lt;pathelement&gt;</code> elements). However, I have no idea why this works from the command prompt but fails in eclipse.</p> <p>The Ant Builder options for eclipse is configured to 'run in the same JRE as the workspace' but not sure if that's the culprit.</p> <p>Even if I change the it to <code>src = ${basedir}/src</code> I get the same error for files referred in the 'other' path element tags!</p> <p>Any ideas?</p> <p>PS: I'm trying to compile the simple-ant example for the ActiveJDBC project - but via eclipse :)</p>
