Description _ tboudreau 2004-07-27 02:51:55 UTC 
Seen while building, invoking nbbuild/build.xml from a different 
dir to build an installer:

Process 'java/parser' location with 'clean' target
clean:
init:
deps-clean:
clean:
Deleting directory /space/nb_another/nbbuild

As you can imagine, this causes some problems with the build 
continuing :-/

The problem is in your build-impl.xml - I have no idea why, but 
there is this:

    <target name="-do-clean" depends="init">
        <delete dir="${build.dir}"/>  <---!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
        <delete dir="${dist.dir}"/>
    </target>


Best would simply be to use the standard netbeans module 
project type.

Tomasi, please take a look at it. Thanks.

I've done the following on my Linux:
cd nb_all
ant -f nbbuild/build.xml clean

and the clean process has finished as it was expected:

clean:
   [delete] Deleting directory
/home/tom/Projects/netbeans/trunk/nb_all/java/parser/build
   [delete] Deleting directory
/home/tom/Projects/netbeans/trunk/nb_all/java/parser/dist


If you did something else please describe what you did.
Honza was testing it on Windows and it worked fine, the same holds for
MacOS X.
Comment 3 _ tboudreau 2004-07-27 16:07:23 UTC 
My mistake, I guess - I was calling nbbuild from a script which set build.dir to nbbuild.

There was a related P1 too, in mdr.
