Bug 18817

Description Matthew Conway 2002-06-03 13:19:44 EDT

When using "Run ant..." context menu on a build file, the parser fails when the
path to the dtd or external entity is a relative one, or doesn't contain the
"file:" prefix

i.e. on our system the following declaration fails:

The buildfile "Run ant" is being called on: w:/a-Source/CS/build/cs.xml
Our build infrastructure resides in: w:/a-Source/Build

<!DOCTYPE project PUBLIC "-//ANT//DTD project//EN" "../../Build/ant/ant.dtd" [
   <!ENTITY build-driver SYSTEM "../../Build/ant/build-driver.xml">
   <!ENTITY build-defaults SYSTEM "../../Build/ant/build-defaults.xml">
]>

The above also fails when using the "file:" prefix
The ONLY way that works is as shown:

<!DOCTYPE project PUBLIC "-//ANT//DTD project//EN"
"file:/w:/a-Source/Build/ant/ant.dtd" [
   <!ENTITY build-driver SYSTEM "file:/w:/a-Source/Build/ant/build-driver.xml">
   <!ENTITY build-defaults SYSTEM "file:/w:/a-Source/Build/ant/build-defaults.xml">
]>

Relative paths do not seem to be taken relative to the buildfile as they should be.
