example, the <javac> task logs the reasons why it chooses to compile particular | |||||

of these tasks will print out the equivalent command line, as the <javac> task above does. If | |||||

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. | |||||

<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 "Enhancement". 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. | |||||

<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 | |||||

Alternatively, you can work with the source code available from the | |||||
<a href="http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-ant/release/v1.4.1/src/"> | |||||
source distributions</a>. If you | |||||
are going to tackle the problem at this level, you may want to | |||||
discuss some details first on the <code>ant-dev</code> mailing | |||||

the fix as a <i>patch</i> to either the <code>ant-dev</code> mailing | |||||

patch to the bug report. Using the bug database has the advantage | |||||
of being able to track the progress of your patch. | |||||
</p> | |||||
<p> | |||||
If you have a patch to submit and are sending it to the | |||||
<code>ant-dev</code> mailing list, prefix "[PATCH]" | |||||
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 > javac.diffs<br></br><br></br> | |||||
</font> | |||||

<font face="verdana" size="-1"> | |||||
cvs diff -u Javac.java > 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. | |||||
