Description maximilian.mehnert

Build Identifier: M20100909-0800

Eclipse is not able handle the otherwise working ant buildfile from the tigase-server project (http://www.tigase.org)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
checkout https://svn.tigase.org/reps/tigase-server/trunk
Import as a project with existing ant buildfile fails because the javac target is not found.

Creating a normal java project and defining a builder that just runs "/usr/bin/ant" produces:


Buildfile: /usr/bin/ant

BUILD FAILED
/usr/bin/ant:1: Content is not allowed in prolog.

I presume this works from the command line?

Do other Ant files work in Eclipse?

Yes to both.

> Yes to both.

Which buildfile from https://svn.tigase.org/reps/tigase-server/trunk are you trying to run?

If I grab the build.xml file from that location it runs fine (it fails, but that is because my workspace is not set up for it)

Closing worksforme, I could not reproduce and the original reported exception is caused by malformed XML ("Content is not allowed in prolog.")
