Hi all,
I'm trying to use the AntUnit framework to test some custom Ant tasks.

There is a createArg() method which sounds like what you want.

as some general guidance for programming to the API.

Hi Hans,
Can you rewrite your query so that it will produce output like
PropertyName=388291

(e.g. you might write SELECT 'PropertyName=' || (your original column)
FROM ...)
Then you can write that output to a file and use
to read it into a property (the "0 rows affected" line
Two more robust solutions spring to mind:
1. You can use Properties.getProperty(String,String) to prevent your
NPE. The first string is the property name, the second is a default
value to be used when the property is not present.

You can include other jars in the Class-Path entry of the manifest file
of your jar, then just distribute all jars in the same folder (assuming
you're allowed to distribute them).

Two possibilities that spring to mind:
1. the files you require from either source tree to a single
working directory structure, then from there.

I am not 100% sure that I have read your mail right but it sounds like
