Description _ lkramolis 2001-03-07 13:56:29 UTC 
Problem is in ToJar.java:57, where is created file start (File start = new File
(base, srcdir);). This works only when srcdir is relative path.

I tried it only on linux, but this should not work on any OS.

Example: try to build close source java module with absolut path of nbroot and
f4jroot properties. There will be this error:
/cvs/cs/main/java/build.xml:66: /cvs/cs/main/java/cvs/os/main/java/src not found.

ToJar.java:55 might help you

Warning: "tojar" task is deprecated, replace with simple "jar"
Comment 4 rbalada 2001-03-07 15:55:32 UTC 
This issue is *not* about opensource NetBeans. Use closesource way to announce 
the bug.
Comment 5 rbalada 2001-03-07 15:56:51 UTC 
Closesource issue, closing as invalid.
Comment 6 _ lkramolis 2001-03-07 16:08:13 UTC 
This *is* a bug in open source NetBeans nbbuild module. See
nbbuild/antsrc/org/netbeans/nbbuild/ToJar.java line 57.
Comment 7 rbalada 2001-03-08 09:00:22 UTC 
Well, this problem should be considered by Svatopluk Dedic and Jesse Glick.

The question is whether to switch target "tojar" in close-source java module to 
use Ant's task <jar> (and use mf-layer.xml) or whether to fix deprecated 
ToJar.java.

Jesse Glick and Svatopluk Dedic should consider this.

Comment 9 Jesse Glick 2001-03-12 17:45:13 UTC 
Even if you have no time to switch to XML layers, it is trivial to replace
<tojar> tasks by equivalent <jar> tasks, except in the case that you do not know
at build time what the built JARs will be, which does not happen in NetBeans
modules. So please stop using the deprecated task, and we will not waste time
fixing it.
Comment 10 Svata Dedic 2001-03-12 17:53:09 UTC 
toJar removed from closesource java/build.xml. It's not needed after all.
