Excluding files from ant build in javadocs - java

So here i am with yet another javadoc question: Here is my stuff
[code]
<delete dir="${build.dir}" />
<delete dir="${docs.dir}" />
<delete dir="${dist.dir}" />
<mkdir dir="${build.dir}" />
<mkdir dir="${docs.dir}" />
<mkdir dir="${dist.dir}" />
<javac srcdir="${src.dir}" destdir="${build.dir}" includeantruntime="false">
</javac>
<javadoc packagenames="src" sourcepath="${src.dir}" destdir="${docs.dir}">
<!-- Define which files / directory should get included, we include all -->
<fileset dir="${src.dir}">
<include name="**" />
</fileset>
</javadoc>
<jar destfile="${dist.dir}\driver.jar" basedir="${build.dir}">
<manifest>
<attribute name="Main-Class" value="driver.Driver" />
</manifest>
</jar>
<description>run the program</description>
<java jar="${dist.dir}/driver.jar" fork="true">
<!-- if you needed arguments -->
<!--
<arg value="${args0}" />
<arg value="${args1}" />
-->
</java>
<description>Main target</description>
now my src folder has files known as input1.txt, input2.txt, input3.txt, and when im generating docs, i get this error:
[javadoc] javadoc: error - Illegal package name: blablabla/input1.txt
I tried using the excludes command but it says javadoc doesn't support that. Is there a way i can exclude files with a .txt ending from being trying to made javadocs off of?
I am pretty new to ant so any help is appreciated :)

You can use the excludes attribute in <fileset> or several <exclude name="..." /> nested in <fileset> to exclude certain files from the fileset that will be sent to javadoc.

respectively.
My other projects on the repository have similar configurations.
They work as expected.
Am I missing something obvious?
I did miss something obvious. An extra 't' in the property packages. Evidently, I'm going to need two sets of eyes for this or a fresh set, a few hours later!
NOW, how do I close this?
I think the problem is in following part:
<fileset dir="${src.dir}">
<include name="*.java" />
</fileset>
In Ant "*.java" means all files with names matching *.java. This does not search in subdirectories.
To include all subdirectories you must specify:
<fileset dir="${src.dir}">
<include name="**/*.java" />
</fileset>
But since you already specified the sourcePath attribute I'm wondering if you can't just remove the fileset element as ant will add **/*.java by default.

JAR File NoClassDefFoundError

I am trying to build a runnable JAR file of a project by using build.xml file and the prompt code

But I have exceptions when I run the JAR because I cannot add the external JAR.
the build.xml is as follows:

Do anyone know what to do?
Thanks
Firstly, you need to tell us exactly which class is giving a NoClassDefFoundError
As a generic answer, the explanation is that the particular class was available during compile time but missing during runtime. This is a common issue with jar executables.
Solution : Either include the missing classes in the jar itself or add those to the system classpath.

precompile jsps into classes for Jetty8 using ant

We are using jspc ant task to pre-compile JSP files into classes/(then package into war)
Now we are switching to Jetty 8. According to the doc, there exists a maven plugin to do this. Do we have ant task to do the same?
Its best if you use the JSP libs that comes with the jetty distribution.
Here's an example, using jetty-distribution-8.1.5.v20120716
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<project name="AntExample1" default="war">
<property name="jetty.home" value="${user.home}/code/intalio/distros/jetty-distribution-8.1.5.v20120716" />
<path id="compile.jspc">
<fileset dir="${jetty.home}">
<include name="lib/servlet-api-*.jar" />
<include name="lib/jsp/*.jar" />
</fileset>
</path>
<path id="compile.classpath">
<fileset dir="WebContent/WEB-INF/lib">
<include name="*.jar" />
</fileset>
<path refid="compile.jspc" />
</path>
<target name="jspc" depends="compile">
<taskdef classname="org.apache.jasper.JspC" name="jasper2" classpathref="compile.jspc" />
<jasper2 validateXml="false"
uriroot="WebContent"
addWebXmlMappings="true"

<fileset dir="src" includes="**/*.java" />
</copy>
</target>
<target name="compile" depends="init">
<javac destdir="build/classes" debug="true" srcdir="build/gen-src">
<classpath refid="compile.classpath" />
</javac>
</target>
<target name="war" depends="jspc">

</war>
</target>
<target name="clean">
<delete dir="dist" />
<delete dir="build" />
</target>
</project>
Update: April 8, 2013
Pushed an example project with this build to github.
https://github.com/jetty-project/jetty-example-jspc-ant
Jasper has jspc; the linked page has ant code for calling it.
From your first sentence you are apparently already using an ant task to pre-compile the jsp files...so using jetty-8 doesn't mean you have to change that process at all, you will still just pre-compile as you have been, building your war file as you have been and then just deploy into jetty-8. You will need to add jsp to the OPTIONS in the start.ini to get the jsp engine into the server classloader.

problem running JUnit tests with Ant in Eclipse. Beginner question

I'm learning these days how to use ant to run automated test folowing this tutorial.
I have JUnit in the classpath of my project. All seem to work fine and I can include it in my classes:
import junit.framework.TestCase; //line20
public class SimpleLattice1DTest extends TestCase{
...
}
My build.xml is:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="Ant-Test" default="compile" basedir=".">

When i run it into eclipse I get the following error:
[javac] C:\Documents and
Settings\noname\Documenti\JLife_git\JLife_git\JLife\src\jlife\tests\SimpleLattice1DTest.java:20:
package junit.framework does not exist
[javac] import junit.framework.TestCase;
I suppose there's something wrong with it, but I have no idea. Could someone put me in the right direction?
Your javac target doesn't specify anything apart from the source and target directory - it doesn't add any classpath entries; you'll need to add an entry for the appropriate JUnit jar file. See the javac task documentation for more details. You may want to specify the path to JUnit as a classpath attribute, a nested element, or a reference to a path declared elsewhere.
The eclipse classpath is separate from your ant environment. In your build file, when you call javac you need to supply a classpath attribute.
You can define the classpath at the top of the file with the rest of your properties, like this:
<path id="classpath">
<fileset dir="[path to libraries]" includes="**/*.jar" />
</path>
and then use it in each call to javac by setting the classpathref attribute, like this:
<javac srcdir="${src.dir}" destdir="${build.dir}" classpathref="classpath" />
You need to specify the directory that contains your .class files and your external jars (like junit).
e.g.
<!-- Populates a class path containing our classes and jars -->
<path id="dist.classpath">
<fileset dir="${lib}"/>
<pathelement path="${build}"/>
</path>
<!-- Compile the java code place into ${build} -->

If you observe the error stack, you will find the following line, just above the error line you mentioned...
[javac] [search path for class files: C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\lib\resource...
This line shows all the jars available in the class path for this ant target execution.
You will definitely not find the desired jar over here i.e. junit-x.x.x.jar (junit-4.8.2.jar)
Now go to eclipse -> Window -> preferences -> Ant -> Runtime -> Global Entries -> Add Jars add junit-4.8.2jar (which you will find in your project lib directory)
If you play around the Ant -> Runtime -> classpath and the classpath related error line in the error stack, you will understand the issue.
Hope this solves your problem.

The problem I am having is the positioning of the Hibernate config files. In my application they are in :
audiClave\src
but in the deployed app the xml files are in:
audiClave
whereas I think they need to be in :
audiClave\WEB-INF\classes
How do I make the statement:
<fileset dir="${src.dir}" includes="**/*.xml" />
send the files to the WEB-INF\classes directory (if that's where they need to be).
EDIT
Changed the script to include the following and it worked correctly:
<target name="compile" depends="clean,makedir">
<javac srcdir="${src.dir}" debug="true" destdir="${build.classes}">
<classpath refid="compile.classpath" />
</javac>
<copy todir="${build.classes}">
<fileset dir="${src.dir}" includes="**/*.xml,**/*.properties"/>
</copy>
</target>
Ask Ant to <copy> the files into /WEB-INF/classes. You are correct - that's where they belong. Be sure to create the directory path.
