Thanks, really appreciate the help. The only user is myself. After your previous mail I had just seen the dist option. Perhaps the help on the project tag could be expanded to included the compile/dist options. "the default target to use when no target is supplied. " does not mean a lot to the likes of this newbie.
Using the dist option is does create the jar! Conversely to before when it set build successful it now says build failed :-) Build.xml:27 A zip file cannot include itself. http://ant.apache.org/manual/tasksoverview.html#file does not tell me about saving to a file but I'll keep at it. -----Original Message----- From: EJ Ciramella [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 20 October 2006 18:08 To: Ant Users List Subject: RE: Build successful but nothing produced If you wanted to have the jar built up, you'd need to run the "dist" target (looking at your build file). In my experience, this should be the default target, if your users want to do anything less, they can run the individual targets. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
