Description abumujahed 2005-09-08 18:00:08 UTC 
I have a project that has test classes only, no src classes.
i have placed all requiered jars on the class path.

running compile againt the test class i get
init:
deps-jar:
BUILD FAILED (total time: 0 seconds)

No error messeges are displayed.

So, i went to the shell prompt, in my NB project dir and typed ant
and i get:
Buildfile: build.xml

BUILD FAILED
/space/work/NB_CSI_AMS_TEST/nbproject/build-impl.xml:229: The following error
occurred while executing this line:
/space/work/NB_CSI_AMS_TEST/nbproject/build-impl.xml:112: srcdir attribute must
be set!

Total time: 1 second

there are 2 issues here:
1. the IDE hid the message of the error.
2. I should be able to create projects with test classe only, and not src
classes.... why is this limitaion....

Wrong component.
Comment 2 Tomas Zezula 2005-09-09 07:21:43 UTC 
Definitely not P2, having regular j2seproject with no sources is a corner case.
Adding Karel to CC list, the same behavior is in the [web|j2ee]project.
Comment 3 zikmund 2005-09-09 11:26:28 UTC 
Web applications insist on having src/java directory even in wizard - it is P2
issue 52706 for Web, because it is quite common scenario in web tier.
