[Xdoclet-user] xdoclet ant replacecopy task compatible with ant 1.5.1 but not new ant 1.6.1?

[Benjamin H. <bh...@eu...>]

Hi,

I've been using the xdoclet replacecopy ant task fine with ant 1.5.1, but
just upgraded to 1.6.1 and it now throws a class cast exception :( That's
the only change I've made to create this problem - looks like something's
changed in the ant copy classes that's not implemented by the older xdoclet
task implementation?

Also, I recall some posts to this list ages ago about the replacecopy task
being broken in the 1.2 xdoclet release - i am in fact using the b2 version,
which probably doesn't help matters! So, using ant 1.5.1 my replace copy is
working using xdoclet-1.2b2.jar (size 151029), but does not using
xdoclet-1.2.jar (146278).

When i try and build (this is using the 1.2b2 jar) with ant 1.6.1, this is
the exception i get:

[replacecopy] Copying 1 file to D:\dev\blah\target\WEB-INF\conf

My taskdef definition:

        <taskdef name="replacecopy"
            classname="xdoclet.ant.ReplaceCopy"
            classpathref="xdocletbeta.class.path"
        />

My classpathref definition:

    <path id="xdocletbeta.class.path">
        <fileset dir="${commons.lib.dir}">
          <include name="commons-logging-1.0.3.jar"/>
        </fileset>
        <fileset dir="${xdoclet.lib.dir}">
            <include name="**/*.jar"/>
            <exclude name="xdoclet-1.2.jar"/>
        </fileset>
    </path>

And finally, the contents of ${xdoclet.lib.dir}:

146278 xdoclet-1.2.jar
151029 xdoclet-1.2b2.jar
192932 xdoclet-ejb-module-1.2.jar
 34568 xdoclet-hibernate-module-1.2.jar
 10671 xdoclet-java-module-1.2.jar
 86976 xdoclet-jboss-module-1.2.jar
 11829 xdoclet-jmx-module-1.2.jar
 39772 xdoclet-web-module-1.2.jar
 54838 xdoclet-xdoclet-module-1.2.jar
239175 xjavadoc-1.0.2.jar

I hope this is enough information to track this down - any ideas anyone?

Cheers,

Ben
