You should be able to see from the trace more about what Ant
is doing and why it's taking a particular course of action.
If you need even more information, you can use the
<code>&#x2011;debug</code> flag rather than
<code>&#x2011;verbose</code>.
<code>-debug</code> flag rather than
<code>-verbose</code>.
This will generally produce so much
output that you may want to save the output to a file and
analyze it in an editor. You can save the output using the
<code>&#x2011;logfile&nbsp;&lt;filename&gt;</code> flag, or using
<code>-logfile &lt;filename&gt;</code> flag, or using

Once you have all this debug information, how can you use it
to solve your problem? That will depend on the task in question
and the nature of your problem. Each task logs different aspects
of its operation, but it should give you an idea of what is going
on. For example, the &lt;javac&gt; task logs the reasons why it
on. For example, the <code>&lt;javac&gt;</code> task logs the
reasons why it
chooses to compile particular class files and not others, along
with which compiler it is using and the arguments it will pass
to that compiler. The following partial trace shows why
&lt;javac&gt; is adding one class file but skipping another.
<code>&lt;javac&gt;</code> is adding one class file but

This is followed by which compiler it will be using, the
arguments that will get passed to the compiler,

<section name="Having Problems?">
<p>If you are having problems with Ant, this page details some steps you can take
to try and resolve the problem. If you can't resolve the problem then this page will help
you collect some of the relevant information to provide a bug report. This information will help
the Ant developers understand and resolve the problem. Of course, not all of the steps here will
make sense for every problem you encounter. These are just some suggestions to
point you in the right direction.

This page details some steps you can take to try and resolve
any problems you may be having with Ant. If you find you can't
resolve the problem, then this page will help you collect some of
the relevant information to provide in a bug report. This information
will help the Ant developers understand and resolve the problem.
Of course, not all the steps here will make sense for every problem
you may encounter - these are just some suggestions to point
you in the right direction.
</p>
<subsection name="Read the Manual">
<p>The first step to take when you have a problem is to read the <a href="manual/index.html">
manual</a> entry for the task or concept that is giving you trouble. Check particularly the meaning of
attributes and nested elements. Perhaps an attribute would provide the behavior you require. If you
have problems with the manual, then you can submit a documentation bug report (see below) to help us
improve the Ant documentation.

<p>
The first step to take when you have a problem with Ant is to read
the <a href="manual/index.html">manual</a> entry for the task or
concept that is giving you trouble. In particular, check the
meaning of a task's attributes and nested elements. Perhaps an
attribute is available that would provide the behavior you require.
If you have problems with the manual itself, you can submit a
documentation bug report (see below) to help us improve the Ant
documentation.
</p>
</subsection>
<subsection name="Examine Debug Output">
<p>The first step when you have a problem is to see what Ant is doing. Try running Ant with
The verbose flag<br/><br/>
<code>ant -verbose</code><br/><br/>
or<br/><br/>
<code>ant -v</code><br/><br/>
<p>
If you're still having a problem, the next step is to try and
gather additional information about what Ant is doing.
Try running Ant with the <code>verbose</code> flag:
<br></br><br></br>
<font face="verdana" size="-1">ant -verbose</font>
<br></br><br></br>
or
<br></br><br></br>
<font face="verdana" size="-1">ant -v</font>
<br></br><br></br>
This will produce something which starts like the following:</p>
<source>
Ant version 1.4alpha compiled on August 6 2001

<p>
You may be able to see in this trace what ant is doing and why it takes a particular
course of action. If you need even more information you can use the <code>-debug</code>
flag rather than <code>-verbose</code>. This will generally produce so much output that
you may want to save the output and analyze it in an editor.
You should be able to see from the trace more about what Ant
is doing and why it's taking a particular course of action.
If you need even more information, you can use the
<code>-debug</code> flag rather than
<code>-verbose</code>.
This will generally produce so much
output that you may want to save the output to a file and
analyze it in an editor. You can save the output using the
<code>-logfile &lt;filename&gt;</code> flag, or using
redirection.
</p>
<p>So, once you have all this debug information, how can you use it to solve your problem?
That will depend on the task in question and the nature of your problem. Each task logs
different aspects of its operation, but it will give you an idea of what is going on. For
example, the &lt;javac&gt; task logs the reasons why it chooses to compile particular
classes and the equivalent command it is using. The following trace (which has been edited
and reformatted for clarity) shows javac adding one class but skipping another. This is followed
by the compiler arguments and a summary of all the classes to be compiled.

<p>
In many cases Ant tasks are wrappers around OS commands or other java classes. In debug mode, many
of these tasks will print out the equivalent command line, as the &lt;javac&gt; task above does. If
you are having a problem, it is often useful to run the command directly in the same way Ant is doing
and see if the problem persists. The problem may lie in the command being run by Ant, or in the way
the Ant task is running the command. You can also see the effect of changing attribute values on the
generated command line. This can help you to understand whether you are using the correct attributes
and values.

<subsection name="Has it been fixed?">
<p>
After examining the debug output, you still believe that the problem you are having may be caused by Ant.
Chances are that someone else may have already encountered this problem and perhaps it has been
fixed. The next step, therefore, may be to try a nightly build of Ant to see if the
problem has been fixed. Nightly builds for Ant are available from the
<a href="http://www.apache.org/dist/jakarta/jakarta-ant/nightly/">Jakarta web site</a>. While Ant nightly
builds are typically quite stable and are used by <a href="http://www.apache.org/dist/jakarta/gump/latest/">
Gump</a> to build many other Jakarta projects, these builds should be treated as experimental. You can
install and verify whether your problem has been fixed. Note that nightly builds do not build many of the
optional tasks the come with Ant. A snapshot of these optional tasks is occasionally uploaded to the nightly
download <a href="http://www.apache.org/dist/jakarta/jakarta-ant/nightly/optional/">area</a>. Note that even
this snapshot does not contain every optional task.

<subsection name="Filing a Bug report">
<p>By this time you may have decided that there is a bug in Ant. You have a few choices at this
point. You can send an email to the ant-user mailing list to see if others have encountered your issue
and how they may have worked around it. If after some discussion, you still feel you have a bug, it
is time to create a bug report. This is a simple operation in the Bug Database. Please try to provide
as much information as possible to assist the developers in resolving the bug. Please try to enter correct
values for the various inputs when creating the bug. Once the bug is created you can add attachments to
the bug report.
</p>
<p>What information should you include in your bug report? The easiest bugs to fix are those which are most
easily reproducible, so if you can, it is really helpful to produce a small test case that exhibits the
problem. In this case, you would attach the build file and other files necessary to reproduce the problem
probably packed together in an archive. If you can't produce a test case, you should try to include a
snippet from your build file and the relevant sections from the debug out from Ant. Try to include the
header information where Ant states the version, the OS and VM information etc. As the debug output is
likely to be very large, you should try to remove the output which is not relevant. Once the bug is
entered into the Bug Database, you will be kept informed about progress on the bug. If you receive email
asking for further information, please try to respond as it will aid in the resolution of your bug.

<subsection name="Asking for an enhancement">
<p>Sometimes, you may find that Ant just doesn't do what you want. It isn't a bug, as such, since Ant
is working the way it is supposed to. Perhaps it is something that hasn't been thought of yet, or
a completely new task. For these situations you will want to raise an enhancement request.
Enhancement requests are managed using the same Apache Bug Database described above.
These are just a different type of report. If you look in the database, you will see that one of
the severity settings for a bug is &quot;Enhancement&quot;. So, just fill the bug report in, and
in the description, state how you would like to have Ant enhanced. Again you should check whether
there are any existing enhancment requests that cover your needs. If so, just add your vote to these.

<subsection name="Fixing the Bug">
<p>If you aren't satisfied just filing a bug report, you can try to find and fix the problem yourself. The
best way to do that is by working against the latest code from CVS. Alternatively, you can work with the
source code from the source distributions available on the Jakarta website. If you are going to tackle the
issues at this level, you may want to discuss details on the ant-dev mailing list. Once you have a fix
for the problem, you may either submit the patch to the ant-dev mailing list or enter into the Bug
Database as described above, attaching the patch. Using the Bug database has the advantage of tracking
the progress of your bug.

</p>
<p>
If you have a patch to submit and are sending it to the
<code>ant-dev</code> mailing list, prefix &quot;[PATCH]&quot;
to your message subject. Please include any relevant bug numbers.
Patch files should be created with the <code>-u</code>
option of the
<code>diff</code> or <code>cvs diff</code> command. For
example:<br></br><br></br>
<font face="verdana" size="-1">
diff -u Javac.java.orig Javac.java &gt; javac.diffs<br></br><br></br>
</font>
or, if you have source from CVS:<br></br><br></br>
<font face="verdana" size="-1">
cvs diff -u Javac.java &gt; javac.diffs<br></br><br></br>
</font>
Note: You should give your patch files meaningful names.
This makes it easier for developers who need to apply a number
of different patch files.
