Which java version are you using - 8 or 9? (In reply to Sarika Sinha from comment #1) > Which java version are you using - 8 or 9? 7 or 8. This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. As such, we're closing this bug. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it and reopen this bug. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant. -- The automated Eclipse Genie. |
Importing an Ant project whose <javac> classpath refers to JARs outside the project's directory, causing those JARs to get silently left out. For example when opening this simple Ant project file using "File" -> "Open Project from File System" in Eclipse: <project name="testant" default="compile"> <path id="main.classpath"> <pathelement location="lib/unoil.jar"/> <pathelement location="/tmp/ridl.jar"/> </path> <target name="compile"> <mkdir dir="build"/> <javac srcdir="src" destdir="build" classpathref="main.classpath" includeantruntime="false"/> </target> </project> the resulting Eclipse project's "References Libraries" only has unoil.jar under it, it doesn't have ridl.jar. No warnings about this are given. This is a regression from an earlier version of Eclipse (probably Mars or thereabout), where this was working. The bug is reproducible on at least 4.7.3 and 4.6.
