Bug ID: 66432
Summary: Launcher does not catch all forms of classpath
definition using "--noclasspath"
Product: Ant
Version: 1.10.13
Hardware: PC
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Core
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
The Launcher org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher has an option
"--noclasspath", whose purpose it is to suppress the collection of a Java
classpath defined using "-cp".
However, the Java 11 release and following standard options includes
alternative forms of "-cp":
--class-path classpath, -classpath classpath, or -cp classpath
A semicolon (;) separated list of directories, JAR archives, and ZIP archives
to search for class files. Ref below
https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/tools/java.html#GUID-3B1CE181-CD30-4178-9602-230B800D4FAE__GUID-8CAE5D46-28F3-49B8-AAF5-EE79DC092E5D
This means that the launcher fails to suppress these forms of classpath
definition.
It seems that this is an error or omission.
Either the function is partial, and to be removed, or incomplete and should be
extended to cover.
There is also very terse documentation on the launcher, so the intent is hard
to judge.
