#109 BuildfileParsingException with XML ENTITY inclusion

[D Hutch]

When I attempt to include xml code in my build file
with '!ENTITY' declarations I get the following exception:

org.antrunner.exception.BuildFileParsingException
at org.antrunner.at.c(Unknown Source)
at org.antrunner.an.F(Unknown Source)

The DEBUG messages that precede the exception are:

...ReloadAntBuildfileAction ( ?) reload ant buildfile...
...org.antrunner.aC ( ?) working directory...
...org.antrunner.aC ( ?) base directory...
...node.action.AntTargetGroup ( ?) processing target map:
...node.action.AntTargetGroup ( ?) could not find
target: ..
...org.antrunner.h ( ?) parse exception: null

This happens when I add:

<!DOCTYPE project [
<!ENTITY props SYSTEM "file:properties.xml"> ]>

to the build file and try to reload it.

Running ant from the command line works fine.

I'm using AntRunner 2.1 with JBuilder6 on redhat linux 7.2.

I have also tried variations on the entity reference like:

<!DOCTYPE project [
<!ENTITY props SYSTEM "file:./properties.xml"> ]>

and (moving the file around)

<!DOCTYPE project [
<!ENTITY props SYSTEM "file:../properties.xml"> ]>

to see if the parser would be happier with different
syntax, to no avail.

I enjoy using AntRunner and would greatly appreciate
any help in this.

sorry, the original post didn't work (the DOCTYPE and ENTITY
declarations were not displayed). They should look like this
(assume an exclamation point following the "<" characters):

< DOCTYPE project [
< ENTITY props SYSTEM "file:properties.xml"> ]>

Sorry for my late reply. I checked this on my computer
(Windows and Linux) and it worked for me.

Unfortunately I don't own JBuilder 6. Looks as if the parser
behaves different for JBuilder 6 than for JBuilder X.

Answering the following questions could hep me to find the
error:
- Are the directories which are displayed on the console
correct?
- Is the default target in the included file?

Is this still present for the 2.2 release,probably if you choose to use the ANT
parser?
