[Jboss-dev-forums] [Design of JBoss Build System] - Re: Buid Error: Could not create task or type of type: depen

[<rl...@jb...>]

Looking at your log file I see a number of things that raise flags.  First off:


_buildmagic:init:
  |  [property] Loading /opt/java/jboss-cvs/jboss-4.0/build/local.properties
  | Ignoring Exception java.util.zip.ZipException: error in opening zip file reading resource org/jboss/tools/buildmagic/task/config/LibrarySet.class from /opt/java/jboss-cvs/jboss-4.0/tools/lib/README
  | Ignoring Exception java.util.zip.ZipException: error in opening zip file reading resource org/jboss/tools/buildmagic/task/MissingAttributeException.class from /opt/java/jboss-cvs/jboss-4.0/tools/lib/README
  | Ignoring Exception java.util.zip.ZipException: error in opening zip file reading resource org/jboss/tools/buildmagic/task/module/ExecuteModules.class from /opt/java/jboss-cvs/jboss-4.0/tools/lib/README

The target _buildmagic:init: is being executed here.  This target is located in tools/etc/buildmagic/buildmagic.ent.

The target works like this (important stuff in bold):

 <!-- Setup the project environment. -->
  |   <dirname property="project.root" file="${basedir}"/>
  |   <property name="project.build" value="${project.root}/build"/>
  |   <property name="project.tools" value="${project.root}/tools"/>
  |   <property name="project.thirdparty" value="${project.root}/thirdparty"/>
  | 
  |   <!-- Setup the module environment. -->
  |   <property name="module.root" value="${basedir}"/>
  |   <property file="${module.root}/local.properties"/>
  |   <property name="module.source" value="${module.root}/src"/>
  |   <property name="module.output" value="${module.root}/output"/>
  |   <property name="module.tools" value="${module.root}/tools"/>
  |   <property name="module.thirdparty" value="${module.root}/thirdparty"/>
  | 
  |   <!-- Load Buildmagic extention tasks. -->
  |   <property name="buildmagic.local.classpath" value="."/>
  |   <path id="buildmagic.task.classpath">
  |     <fileset dir="${project.tools}/lib">
  |       <include name="*"/>
  |     </fileset>
  |     <pathelement location="${project.tools}/lib"/>
  |     <pathelement location="${project.tools}/etc"/>
  |     <pathelement location="${project.tools}"/>
  |     <pathelement path="${buildmagic.local.classpath}"/>
  |   </path>
  |   <taskdef file="${project.tools}/etc/buildmagic/autoload.properties"
  |     classpathref="buildmagic.task.classpath"/>
  |   <taskdef name="property" classname="org.jboss.tools.buildmagic.task.Property"
  |     classpathref="buildmagic.task.classpath"/>

Basically,
1)  Read in a property file
2)  Make a classpath
3)  Create some taskdefs

From your logfile, it looks like it is trying to resolve the task definiton to this classpath:
   /opt/java/jboss-cvs/jboss-4.0/tools/lib/README

Which is obviously bad.    

Things for you to verify:
  Are all of the files in tools/lib?  You should be able to see many jars there.  What does buildmagic.task.classpath resolve to? 
You can add an echo message to the init target and verify this.

 Something like:

  <property name="cp" refid="buildmagic.task.classpath"/>
  |   <echo message="Classpath is ${cp}"/>
