Re: [xmlvm-users] newbie - question / PROPOSED BUG FIX

[Scott d. <sde...@ho...>]

Hey all -

I figured it out.  Sorry, I didn't take the time to do this on Sat.  I was a little rushed.  Anyhow, I got into the class:

org.xmlvm.ant.SrcPluginExtractor

and I found the problem.  The problem was in a method called:

...
    private File getProjectFile(String path) {
        if (path.startsWith("/"))
            return new File(path);
        return new File(getProject().getBaseDir(), path).getAbsoluteFile();
    }
...

It was not written to work in Windows is all.  I fixed it.  

...
    private File getProjectFile(String path) {
        if ((path.startsWith("/")) || (path.indexOf(":\\") == 1))
            return new File(path);
        return new File(getProject().getBaseDir(), path).getAbsoluteFile();
    }
...

As you can see in the redlit line, my changes are rather simpleminded, but it worked, and made all my demos compile just fine.  I do have Linux (Ubuntu) installed on my machine as well, and the demos probably all would have compiled under Linux, but for whatever reason, I was not able to get them to compile under Cygwin either.

Anyhow, consider this a proposed bug-fix now.

Thanks!

Sorry to hit this list with probably an obvious question, but I can't find answers anywhere else at present.

I downloaded XMLVM according to the docs, and am building it.  The XMLVM portion builds fine, but the demos won't build.  I get the following error with "ant demos":

...

-xproject-plugins:
     [echo] your run classpath: C:\dev\XMLVM\xmlvm\dist\xmlvm.jar:build/classes
     [echo] your dest: build/plugins/objc/

C:\dev\XMLVM\xmlvm>ant -version
Apache Ant version 1.6.5 compiled on June 2 2005

...

I've included my ant version in case that matters.  I'm using Java 1.6.0_14 as well, as a 1.6 VM is recommended, I should be OK, right?

Anyhow, I thought there might be some bug or other in there.  If needed I can build in Cygwin.  The demos are ... pretty necessary at this point.  It's kinda not gonna be easy to figure this out without them, eh?

Thanks in advance!
