Hibernate version: 3.0

I am looking for a way to use (Borland) JDatastore with Hibernate. The JIRA (http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/) contains HHH-224 which contains a fix for JDatastore. Now I want to compile the 3.0 distribution with the extra functionality. But the ANT build for the dustribution fails:



What do I have to do to build hibernate-3.0?

When I got this error, found that I had to remove the junit bundled with the recent versions of ant in order to get the hibernate-3.0 build going. Take a look in ANT_HOME/lib for the junit library, and if it's there, move it somewhere else temporarily and try the build again.

This is a well known packaging error in Ant, which the Ant developers don't seem to worry about. There is a FAQ entry on the Ant website about it.

Distributing the plugin stubs in ANT_HOME/lib makes it impossible to use plugins outside of Ant - without copying other libraries such as junit.jar to ANT_HOME/lib or deleting the ant-junit.jar stub from there.

It's probably a good idea if you tell the Ant developers how long it took you to figure that out. We already tried IIRC.

using our build.bat/build.sh solves this as it gives the arguments to ant to use the libs in our lib directory.

but it still is bad packaging in ant from my perspective - so go pay them a visit ,)

Yes with apache-ant-1.6.2 I had to rename:



from the lib directory. Next to this I had to set a path to to:



For the javac compiler. This is strange because all other projects build with ANT without this settings...

where did you have to rename that ?
and what path did you have to set ?

And I dont know of any project that uses junit that can build without either poluting your local ant install with a junit.jar (some uses different versions of junit so this is bad) or by overruling ants packaging via the -lib path.

(you can also globally set the CLASSPATH environment, but thats also just a hack in my book)

I had to rename:



from:



But this was the thing you already mentioned. The strange thing I was talking about was the fact that I had to set a path to the Javac compiler:



Strange to me because ANT already knows the position from the Java distribution from the JAVA_HOME setting. Hibernate was the first ANT project for me which was complaining about a 'missing' Javac compiler...

rename it to what ?

and did you use build.bat or ants ant.bat ?

rename to delete something as:



for building I used ANT jar (ant version: apache-ant-1.6.2)

yes - that rename is basically what the ant team should do ,)
remove the ant-junit from the main dist or make it in some other way so it can pick up the junit or whatever other library a project depends on.

I use plain <java fork="true"/> task to run tests (it helps to "isolate" any stuff from ant), but it doe's not generate reports.

yes - but doing that for every java related library basically makes all the ant tasks not needed....so why even include them in the distribution ?

so funny ,)
