Odd. Runs fine on deadlock.netbeans.org. Looks like xtest/nbjunit is being included in one part of the build but is not
accessible in another. What is the exact command line you used to launch Ant?

ANT_TASKS="ant-nodeps antlr-netbeans-cnd ant-antlr ant-trax" ANT_OPTS="-Xmx1g -Djava.awt.headless=true" eant
'-Dstop.when.broken.modules=true' '-Dbuild.compiler.deprecation=false'
'-Dnb.clusters.list=nb.cluster.platform,nb.cluster.apisupport,nb.cluster.cnd,nb.cluster.experimental,nb.cluster.harness,nb.cluster.ide,nb.cluster.identity,nb.cluster.j2ee,nb.cluster.java,nb.cluster.mobility,nb.cluster.nb,nb.cluster.profiler,nb.cluster.ruby,nb.cluster.soa,nb.cluster.testtools,nb.cluster.uml,nb.cluster.visualweb,nb.cluster.xml'
'-f' 'nbbuild/build.xml' '-Dbuildnum=6.0_pre20070714111440' 'build-nozip'

where eant is just wrapper for ant

complete build script (Gentoo ebuild) is here if needed:

Huh, you have nb.cluster.testtools. I will try it sometime.

yeah, I try to build all the clusters

apidocs still fails to compile, but now there is only one broken link (again building all clusters):

Broken links no longer cause build failures. They are aggregated into JUnit-style reports instead.

I have no idea why nbbuild/netbeans/platform7/lib/org-openide-util.jar would not be present; that file should be the
very second JAR built when running a regular NB source build.

Hm, now I see where the problem is though I have no idea about the reason. See this line:

/var/tmp/portage/dev-util/netbeans-6.0_pre20070825092557/work/netbeans-src/nbbuild/templates/projectized.xml:62: No such
classpath entry: /home/fordfrog/gentoo/tmp/netbeans/netbeans-src/nbbuild/netbeans/platform7/lib/org-openide-util.jar

/var/tmp/portage/dev-util/netbeans-6.0_pre20070825092557/work/netbeans-src is where the nb sources are being located
/home/fordfrog/gentoo/tmp/netbeans/netbeans-src is CVS source tree of nb from where I create source tarballs

Here are scripts I use to package nb in Gentoo distro: https://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/java/browser/scripts/netbeans

First I update the sources using 'updatenbcvs', simply updating all nb modules cvs -q up -PCdRA -D
"<datetime_from_deadlock_stable_build>"
Then I run 'createnbtarballs' where I first clean nb tree using 'GENTOO_VM="sun-jdk-1.5" ant -f
netbeans-src/nbbuild/build.xml clean' and then create tarball for each module.

The reason mentioning the info above is I suppose somewhere during this process the path to the CVS tree is hardcoded
somewhere in nb.


Just now I noticed another strange thing, which is distro related. I have global CLASSPATH variable set to "." which is
weird. That could probably be the cause if nb build system scans the classpath when building apidocs so I'll first check
this and let you know if that was the cause.

I disabled the classpath but the result is the same, and I checked I do not run the emerge (installation) script from
the CVS root so I guess it is hardcoded somewhere:

I grepped the whole source tree and found the path in these files:

./netbeans/netbeans-src/nbbuild/nbproject/private/scan-cache-full.ser
./netbeans/netbeans-src/nbbuild/nbproject/private/scan-cache-standard.ser

Those are not versioned files, just your local cache.

Yeah, but what surprises me is the fact that the 'clean' target creates these files and does not remove them. I run the
'clean' task to clean the source tree so it does not contain any pregenerated stuff :-)

Anyway removing the ser files makes apidocs compile in my case so I think this bug can be closed.

'clean' just removes typical build products. 'real-clean' and 'cvs-clean' remove more. The cache files should be
automatically regenerated anyway whenever any relevant metadata changes.
