Ant bulid runs on command line (Windows), but fails in Eclipse - java

I have a J2EE program that I have been maintaining since 2006/7.
The Ant build compiles all Java/J2EE code, creates the database in MySql and imports data into it, and deploys the build (exploded) war into Tomcat.
There's been no changes to the code in years.
The only changes are in the stack - where I was forced to update the versions of Java (1.8), MySql (5.5), Eclipse, and lately, Windows (11).
This build runs flawlessly and I'm able to launch the website and run it successfully.
The only thing that's changed is that somehow I'm unable to run the Ant build from inside Eclipse now.
I created the Eclipse project by importing the existing source folder.
Then I created the 'Ant build' in the 'External Tools Configuration'.
(I've been doing this in Eclipse since 2004, so I know the overall configurations I need to make.)
But somehow, either something's changed in Eclipse that I can't put my finger on or because I'm making a really silly error without knowing what it is, the Ant build from inside Eclipse keeps failing.
I've been trying all kinds of things to fix the Classpath, but nothing seems to work.
This exact same build works with no changes from the command prompt.
So, it's not a question of missing libraries - just finding them.
What's happening?
Please help!

javax.xml.bind was deleted in JDK11, or 9 or.. something after 8. JDK9 broke a ton of stuff. In eclipse you're compiling on JDK9+, on the command line you're compiling vs JDK8. Edit your eclipse project to use JDK8. Alternatively, see this answer about fixing javax.xml.bind.
You probably also have to replace sun.misc.BASE64; JDK8+ ships with base64 built in, for what its worth - just use that. sun.misc was never really public API, which is possibly why it was unceremoniously just removed.


Eclipse can't run Ant internally with the version of Java you want to use. The bridging code it uses was compiled for Java 11 so that it wouldn't simply break with Java 18 onward, and those new Java versions keep coming, so it's run using Java 11 or higher. Because of that requirement, you're running up against Java 11 having removed several packages that were in Java 1.8, like javax.xml.bind (it was deprecated in Java 9).
You probably should update that stack at some point, though. The MySQL version you're using is years out of support.

How to compile ftd2xxj on arm-v7?

I have been successfully using the FTDI D2XX driver on arm-v7 from c++ and Python, but I now need to use java.
Also, I have successfully used the ftd2xxj JNI wrapper on Windows and OSX using this modified ftd2xxj project
Please bare in mind I am not very comfortable with JNI and Makefiles yet.
The issue is I can't seem to compile the ftd2xxj project from source.
The OSX modified version relies on xcodebuild and I'm not sure how to convert that to cmake/Makefiles. (I did have a quick look at pbxbuild and buildtool but couldn't figure out how to use).
I have checked out the original ftd2xxj source code from sourceforge and imported the projects in eclipse, but I'm running into some issues:
The ftd2xxj Java project is referencing a javax.util project which isn't present in the repository and I wasn't sure where to find it. I assumed this might be related to javax.util.property.2_0.jar I spotted in the precompiled binaries. As a hacky workaround I created a blank javax.util project and added the .jar file to the project's requiring it to keep eclipse from complaining (but this is likely to mess up the original config).
In short: I can't compile the original ftd2xxj project (so far because of a missing javax.util project for the javax.util.properties library) and I would like to compile the project on arm-v7 (either with eclipse or Makefiles)
Any hints/tips on how I can compile the project ?
For reference here is the output from ant:

Update 1
I've made some progress with the original eclipse based project and managed to run the ant build from the ftd2xxj project, which seems to generate the JNI headers, but it doesn't seem to compile the JNI library. (I haven't spotted anything in the ant file that points to anything JNI related other than the JNI headers). It is still unclear what the recommended method of compiling the JNI library (now that the headers are ready).
I noticed there is a com.ftdichip.ftd2xx.linux.x86, which is referenced from the ftd2xxj, but I'm not sure how it's being used and if I would like to make com.ftdichip.ftd2xx.linux.armv7 folder, how would I do that ?
Update 2
I've noticed a problem eclipse flags for the com.ftdichip.ftd2xx project:
An API baseline has not been set for the current workspace
Based on this answer I've set preferences to Warn instead of Error.
I hope this won't cause major problems
I've made further progress with the eclipse projects and noticed something happening with the ftd2xx-native project. It tries to compile based on Makefiles, but it fails:

I noticed the -m32 flag, sub when I try to edit the src/subdir.mk file I get a warning the file is generated. I am still not sure how these Make files are generated. Any hints in this direction would be helpful
Update 3
I now notice the ftd2xxj-native is the JNI C project and there are some extra settings via Eclipse CDT. I can see the -m32 flags, but I'm unable to change the settings. I'm going through the CDT docs. Any hints/tips on configuring and compiling JNI projects via CDT will are appreciated

Turns out there were quite a things to setup.
I compiled the project on a Raspberry PI 2 using eclipse 3.8.1 with CDT 8.5.0.
Using this version resulted in a single API baseline error, which in Preferences > Plug-in Development > API Baselines can be set to Warning instead Error if any are missing.
I had to change the JRE (J2SE01.5 used in the original project was missing) but java 7 openJDK and Oracle JDK 8 were present on the system.
Most of the settings I was looking in terms of compiler flags were present in the ftd2xx-native project properties under C/C++ Build > Settings
There are the settings I've used:
C Compiler Includes
/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-armhf/include
/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-armhf/include/linux
"${workspace_loc:/${ProjName}/external/include}"
C Compiler Flags (Miscaleneous > Other Flags)
-c -fmessage-length=0 -fPIC -march=armv7-a -mfloat-abi=hard -ftree-vectorize -Wno-psabi -pipe-c -fmessage-length=0 -fPIC -march=armv7-a -mfloat-abi=hard -ftree-vectorize -Wno-psabi -pipe
C linker libraries (-l)
jvm
ftd2xx
C linker library search paths(-L)
/usr/lib/jvm/jdk-8-oracle-arm-vfp-hflt/jre/lib/arm/client
"${workspace_loc:/${ProjName}/external}"
I was originally using the java 7 openjdk path, but the client library vanished at some point (not sure if cleaning the c++ project had anything to do with that)
Miscaleneous > Other Flags
--no-undefined
Shared library settings
Shared is on (-shared) Shared object name
lib${BuildArtifactFileName}.${MAJOR_VERSION}
MAJOR_VERSION and MINOR_VERSION were defined in C/C++ Build > Build Variables (as Strings)
Hope this helps anyone else trying to compile this JNI wrapper on a different platform
I terms of using the libraries, it's worth taking note of the driver's readme file, especially the ones on unloading the serial driver and running java as sudo when using this library:
If the message "FT_Open failed" appears:
Perhaps the kernel automatically loaded another driver for the
FTDI USB device.
sudo lsmod
If "ftdi_sio" is listed:
Unload it (and its helper module, usbserial), as follows.
sudo rmmod ftdi_sio
sudo rmmod usbserial
Otherwise, it's possible that libftd2xx does not recognise your
device's Vendor and Product Identifiers. Call FT_SetVIDPID before
calling FT_Open/FT_OpenEx/FT_ListDevices.

I think it's maybe because you are trying to compile your project with a JRE instead of the Java JDK ?
Try Java --version in the console and see if you got the JDK installed. If not, download it from Oracle, be sure to put it into your Path and into the JAVA_HOME variable.

I use ANT 1.9.6, Cordova 4.1.1.
Anyone can help me!
Thanks so much.

I also have this issue. The above errors can be resolved changing targetsdkversion to 22. but that also (sometimes) wont be allowed you to build apks using ant. Try to build the project using gradle.

I've tried updating Java version, changing target SDK version, Googling.. No luck.
Some details:
java version "1.8.0_40"
Cordova:
Installed platforms: android 3.7.1, ios 3.8.0
Mac OSX latest.
Please assist.

Today I faced same problem, using AdvancedWebView and found cordova related problem. for Ant Users, just check
project.properties file. Change the
target=android-21

Install Android build tools version 21 and 22 from SDK Manager.
Once the build tools are installed, remove the platforms folder inside your app.
Go to Cordova and add the android platform again (using cordova platform add android command).
Then rebuild the app (using cordova build command) and it will build successfully

How do I add a jar-file to Ant for a NetBeans Java Web App project so that it gets build on Jenkins?

As I pointed out in my previous question, I am trying to set up an automatic build system with Jenkins CI for a NetBeans multitiered web application project.
My Ant targets are clean and debug. Clean works, but debug fails when trying to compile the project.
In the output of my Jenkins build I see the following command:
[PGB Webapp] $ cmd.exe /C '""C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins\tools\hudson.tasks.Ant_AntInstallation\Apache_Ant\bin\ant.bat" "-Dlibs.MySQLDriver.classpath=C:/Program Files (x86)/MySQL/MySQL Connector J/mysql-connector-java-5.1.31-bin.jar" "-Dlibs.CopyLibs.classpath=C:/Program Files/NetBeans 8.0/java/ant/extra/org-netbeans-modules-java-j2seproject-copylibstask.jar" "-Dj2ee.server.home=C:/Program Files/wildfly-8.1.0.Final" clean debug && exit %%ERRORLEVEL%%"'
And this is the last part of my output: (the part that seems most important to me)

Well, the important thing here is that the Java compiler is not able to locate the RESTful Web Services library. I found the jar I need at C:/Program Files/wildfly-8.1.0.Final/modules/system/layers/base/javax/ws/rs/api/main/jaxrs-api-3.0.8.Final.jar.
I have no experience with the Ant buildtool, so I have searched and found a lot about it, but I cannot seem to figure out how to get this library added so that the project gets properly build on Jenkins.
Currently my build.xml file looks as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project name="pgb" default="default" basedir="." xmlns:ear="http://www.netbeans.org/ns/j2ee-earproject/2">
<description>Builds, tests, and runs the project pgb.</description>
<import file="nbproject/build-impl.xml"/>
<taskdef resource="net/jtools/classloadertask/antlib.xml">
<classpath>
<fileset dir="${basedir}/lib" includes="ant-classloader*.jar"/>
</classpath>
</taskdef>
<!--Add jar to the classpath-->
<classloader loader="system">
<classpath>
<fileset dir="${basedir}/lib" includes="jboss-modules.jar"/>
<fileset dir="${basedir}/lib" includes="jaxrs-api-3.0.8.Final.jar"/>
</classpath>
</classloader>
</project>
The file build-impl.xml (which is imported) is generated by NetBeans (as you may probably know already) and is too big to display here, besides I could not change anything there because the system might automatically change that file itself.
Anyway, as you can see I've tried to use an Ant Classloader I found here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/5116470/2541501
But no luck there.. I even added the required jar-file to the lib directory of the project.
So, my question is: how do I change my Ant buildscript so that the Java compiler does not complain about missing packages (i.e. missing jar files)?
I am also worried that if I add any targets to my build.xml file that it might conflict with anything that is declared in the generated build-impl.xml file. Anyone also know anything about this?

Okay my colleague found out that we simply needed to copy the private properties of the NetBeans project into the Properties field of the Ant Invoke of the Jenkins job of our project.
So, our NetBeans project has a directory called private in the nbproject-directory. In this private directory there is a file called private.properties. We took the properties from this file and copied it into the Properties field of the Ant Invoke. Now our Properties field looks as follows:
libs.CopyLibs.classpath=C:/Program Files/NetBeans 8.0/java/ant/extra/org-netbeans-modules-java-j2seproject-copylibstask.jar
libs.MySQLDriver.classpath=C:/Program Files (x86)/MySQL/MySQL Connector J/mysql-connector-java-5.1.31-bin.jar
j2ee.platform.is.jsr109=true
j2ee.server.domain=C:/Wildfly/standalone
j2ee.server.home=C:/Wildfly
j2ee.server.instance=wildfly-deployer:localhost:8080#standalone&C:\\Wildfly
Now we can perform all Ant commands without a problem. We are also able to deploy the web application that is build through Jenkins.
If anyone is wondering, the RESTful Web Services can be found in WildFly. So we don't need to include the jar of the RESTful Web Services directly, all we need is to set the properties for the WildFly server right.
In retrospect, I would say that it is not that hard at all to set-up a continuous integration system with automatic builds for a NetBeans project. Now, next step is to also include automated testing for the project.

is this a javac bug or some error in my code

When I run my Ant script, I get the following error

BUILD FAILED
I'm not sure what is going on, I can compile this project outside ant (in eclipse) without an issue.
I'm almost sure that the message about a bug in the compiler is a red herring, I suspect the real problem has to do with the message:
[javac] java.lang.AssertionError: {rawtypes}
but there isn't much information to help tracking down the root cause of the error.
Any ideas?

Given your compiler is really old and not publicly supported, I would assume that upgrading your JDK would be a good starting place.
The last free version of Java 5.0 is update 22 (you have update 9).
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index-jdk5-jsp-142662.html
The latest version of Java is Java 6 update 26.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index-jsp-138363.html

It clearly says that it is a compiler bug:
An exception has occurred in the compiler (1.5.0_09). Please file a bug at the
Java Developer Connection (http://java.sun.com/webapps/bugreport) after
checking the Bug Parade for duplicates. Include your program and the following
diagnostic in your report. Thank you.
As Peter said, first check if the same problem occurs in a newer javac version, and then file a bug report. (You might try to minimize down your code to an SSCEE first.)
Eclipse does not use javac, but has its own compiler included, thus this does not tell us anything here.
