how to encode in Ant - encoding

I have a test script:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project name="test" basedir=".">
<echo encoding="UTF-8" file="test.txt">测试</echo>
</project>
When I open test.txt. I only see "??"
Something more weird. The script run with no problem using Eclipse Ant tool, but it has problem with command line.
Both Eclipse and cmd are using the same Ant lib.

Use this encoding :
<echo encoding="UnicodeLittleUnmarked" file="test.txt">测试</echo>
And you will get the correct result in your file.

I found the reason.
Before running the Ant script, I need to set a system property:
Set ANT_OPTS=-D"file.encoding=UTF-8"
Then
<project name="test" basedir=".">
<echo file="test.txt">测试</echo>
</project>
runs successfully even if there is no encoding in the echo.
Can anyone tells me why the original one doesn't work?

What are the steps needed in DITA-OT to pass ANT command line parameters to custom plugin's override XSLT-script

This question follows this: Is it possible to pass custom ANT parameters into custom plugin with DITA-OT?
I have plugin folder called: com.mymods.pdf under DITA-OT/plugins folder. Under is explained the structure and files shortly (follows this example closely http://dita-ot.github.io/1.8/readme/dita2pdf-customization.html). Plugin works but now I want to pass ANT command line parameters into mycustom.xsl:
com.mymods.pdf/
cfg/
common/
vars/
en.xml
fo/
attrs/
mycustom.xsl
xsl/
mycustom.xsl
catalog.xml
integrator.xml
plugin.xml
build_mymods_pdf_template.xml (dita2com.mymods.pdf.init target is here and it depends on dita2pdf2)
build.xml (<project><import file="build_mymods_pdf.xml"/></project>)
insertParameters.xml (see the linked question for contents)
So where I need to apply changes and/or add new files?
I use the plugin from other location with "mainANT.xml" which has target and transtype for using "dita2mymodsPDF".
plugin.xml code:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<plugin id="com.mymods.pdf">
<require plugin="org.dita.pdf2" />
<feature extension="dita.conductor.transtype.check" value="com.mymods.pdf" />
<feature extension="dita.transtype.print" value="com.mymods.pdf" />
<feature extension="dita.conductor.target.relative" file="integrator.xml" />
<feature extension="dita.conductor.com.mymods.pdf.param" file="insertParameters.xml"/>
<extension-point id="dita.conductor.com.mymods.pdf.param" name="PDF XSLT parameters"/>
</plugin>
build_mymods_pdf_template.xml code:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<project name="com.mymods.pdf" default="com.mymods.pdf">
<property name="transtype" value="com.mymods.pdf"/>
<target name="dita2com.mymods.pdf.init">
<property location="${dita.plugin.com.mymods.pdf.dir}/cfg" name="customization.dir" />
<property location="${dita.plugin.com.mymods.pdf.dir}/xsl/fo/topic2fo_shell_fop.xsl" name="args.xsl.pdf" />
<property name="args.chapter.layout" value="BASIC" />
<property name="args.bookmark.style" value="COLLAPSED" />
<!--property name="args.fo.include.rellinks" value="nofamily" /-->
</target>
<target depends="dita2com.mymods.pdf.init, dita2pdf2" name="dita2com.mymods.pdf" />
</project>
Also integrator.xml code:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<project name="com.mymods.pdf">
<target name="dita2com.mymods.pdf.init">
<property location="${dita.plugin.com.mymods.pdf.dir}/cfg" name="customization.dir" />
<property location="${dita.plugin.com.mymods.pdf.dir}/xsl/fo/topic2fo_shell_fop.xsl" name="args.xsl.pdf" />
<property name="args.chapter.layout" value="BASIC" />
<property name="args.bookmark.style" value="COLLAPSED" />
<!--property name="args.fo.include.rellinks" value="nofamily" /-->
</target>
<target depends="dita2com.mymods.pdf.init, dita2pdf2" name="dita2com.mymods.pdf" />
</project>
Not totally sure whether integrator.xml or build_mymods_pdf_template.xml is like it actually should. But this fileset works and uses mycustom.xsl (other for attributes and other for XSLT overrides). Now the problem is that how to get my own custom ANT parameters so the plugin can see its value.
This is really easy for pdf2 plugin but still can't yet get it working inside my com.mymods.pdf . I think I don't need to post catalog.xml because it just tells where are "mycustom.xsl" files that are working properly.
Really easy way, not the cleanest way to do this is:
Note: This applies for DITA-OT 1.8.4 check suitability for other versions.
Create your custom PDF plugin as told in: http://dita-ot.github.io/1.8/readme/dita2pdf-customization.html
Create "insertParameters.xml" as in: http://dita-ot.github.io/1.8/dev_ref/plugin-xsltparams.html
In my case with following custom parameters:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<dummy>
<!-- EXAMPLE: <param name="paramNameinXSLT" expression="${antProperty}" if="antProperty"/> -->
<param name="custom.data1" expression="${custom.data1}" if="custom.data1"/>
<param name="custom.data2" expression="${custom.data2}" if="custom.data2"/>
</dummy>
Now drop this "insertParameters.xml" into DITA-OT\plugins\org.dita.pdf2
Create processing to custom.xsl under xsl\custom.xsl.
Here is an example code snippet for custom.xsl
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<snippet>
<xsl:param name="custom.data1"/>
<xsl:param name="custom.data2"/>
<fo:block><xsl:value-of select="$custom.data1"/></fo:block>
<fo:block><xsl:value-of select="$custom.data2"/></fo:block>
</snippet>
Run integrator.xml to integrate changes into your DITA-OT.
Give in command line commands for running your PDF scenario like: "ant dita2mypdf -f -Dcustom.data1="myCustomParameter1value" -Dcustom.data2="myCustomParameter2value"
Run the process to create PDF and your parameters should be visible!
What this question was really intended to achieve to get a step by step instruction to set all these things to work 100% in the custom plugin that not a single thing needs to be added into DITA-OT default plugins (not even single file into pdf2 folder as in this solution). This could make updating DITA-OT remarkably easier for future.
The cleaner? alternative to this approach is
add a placeholder insertParameters.xml to the root of the DITA-OT 1.8.5. The file does not exist in the standard DITA-OT 1.8.5
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<dummy>
<param name="dummy" expression="{$dummy} if="dummy"/>
</dummy>
add the override insertParameters.xml to the root of your plugin
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<dummy>
<param name="my.runtime.parameter" expression="{$my.runtime.parameter} if="my.runtime.parameter"/>
</dummy>
Then run ant -f integrator.xml
Without knowing precisely which parameters you need to pass, it's difficult to answer this question. However, let's assume you're invoking this from the command line and you've defined a transtype of mymodspdf. The command would look like this:
ant -f build.xml -Dtranstype mymodspdf -Dmyparameter1 paramval1 -Dmyparameter2 paramval2

Setting -XdisableCastChecking to true

I need to set -XdisableCastChecking to true for building a GWT application (with Eclipse).
I know how to do it to compile the application but I'm not able to set -XdisableCastChecking to true for building the war file (I'm using a build.xml and file).
Does anybody know how to include this flag into the ant file?
Thank you in advance.
Alsila
If you are using a standard build.xml generated with the wepAppCreator, you should have at the top of your build.xml something like the block below. Modify the gwt.args line adding the arguments you want to pass to the gwt compiler:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<project name="myproject" default="build" basedir=".">
<!-- Arguments to gwtc and devmode targets -->
<property name="gwt.args" value="-XdisableCastChecking" />

Setup Netbeans project on Jenkins

I have a Netbeans Project that I'm trying to build from Jenkins, using ant, in a linux environment.
I have copied the CopyLibStack.jar to /var/lib/Jenkins/nblibs/ and setup in the ant task with the following properties:
-Dj2ee.server.home="/var/lib/jenkins/tomcat/"
-Dlibs.CopyLibs.classpath=/var/lib/jenkins/nblibs/org-netbeans-modules-java-j2seproject-copylibstask.jar
But it doesn’t work; it fails on a <copyfiles> task
If I install Jenkins on windows and set the properties to:
-Dj2ee.server.home="C:\Archivos de programa\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0"
-Dlibs.CopyLibs.classpath=C:\\.jenkins\\nblibs\\org-netbeans-modules-java-j2seproject-copylibstask.jar
The project build without problems
If I run the ant task from the terminal with:
ant -file build.xml do-dist test -Dlibs.CopyLibs.classpath="/var/lib/jenkins/nblibs/copylibstask.jar" -Dj2ee.server.home="/var/lib/jenkins/tomcat/"
it builds fine too
I think that the problem is in the user jenkins, but I don't know how to fix it.
What can I do?
I had the same problem, which I have fixed :) (I'm using ubuntu 12.04). Find build.properties in ".netbeans/7.0" and look for the lib that you are missing... copy it to project.properties
Ex:
libs.CopyLibs.classpath=/opt/netbeans-7.0.1/java/ant/extra/org-netbeans-modules-java-j2seproject-copylibstask.jar
libs.javaee-api-6.0.classpath=/opt/netbeans-7.0.1/enterprise/modules/ext/javaee-api-6.0.jar
I found a recipe in this link basically you have to have Netbeans installed on your server so you can reuse the build.xml generated by Netbeans.
Create a file jenkins-build.xml at the same level as your build.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project name="BioGatewayWS Stub" default="build" basedir=".">
<!-- create private folders -->
<mkdir dir="nbproject/private"/>
<!--- set variables needed by Ant when outside of Netbeans -->
<propertyfile file="nbproject/private/private.properties">
<!--<entry key="user.properties.file" value="/opt/NetBeans8/build.properties"/>-->
<entry key="user.properties.file" value="C:\Users\jm\AppData\Roaming\NetBeans\8.2\build.properties"/>
</propertyfile>
<!-- Build targets - these just chain a call to the original build file-->
<target name="build">
<!-- <ant dir="${basedir}" target="build"/>-->
<ant dir="${basedir}" target="default"/>
</target>
<target name="clean">
<ant dir="${basedir}" target="clean"/>
</target>
</project>
and run Ant:
ant -file jenkins-build.xml clean
ant -file jenkins-build.xml build

error while building project using Nant

I have file pro.build:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<project name="NAnt.NUnit2ReportTasks" default="build" basedir=".">
<sysinfo />
<target name="nunitreport">
<nunit2report out="HTML_TestResults.html">
<fileset>
<includes name="NUnitTestResult.xml" />
</fileset>
</nunit2report>
<echo message="HTML Test report generated." />
</target>
</project>
From command prompt(DOS), I am giving command,
Nant -buildfile:pro.build
But I am getting error
Target 'build' does not exist in this project
Can you help me resolving this?
With <project>'s default attribute you specify the target which should be executed if no other target is specified on the command line.
Problem: On the command line you're calling Nant -buildfile:pro.build so you are not specifying a target there. NAnt tries to execute default target build which is not present and fails.
Solution: Either you specify target nunitreport on the command line by calling Nant -buildfile:pro.build nunitreport. But since specifying a non-existent default target in your build file doesn't make much sense, I would suggest changing the default target:
<project name="NAnt.NUnit2ReportTasks" default="nunitreport" basedir=".">
<!-- ... -->
</project>
Specifing complete path for the buildfile could resolve the issue
nant –buildfile:"c:\FolderpathofAppdotbuildfileGoesHere\buildfilename.build"

Publishing my asp.net mvc application via script and not Visual Studio

I dont really know much about this to be honest with you...
I have managed to download mscommunity build and I have managed to use the script below to successfully compile and build my application, however I want to get my asp.net mvc application "published" so I want the same files that you when clicking "publish" inside visual studio. My current build file looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Project DefaultTargets="Build" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
<!-- Import the MSBuild Tasks -->
<Import Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\MSBuildCommunityTasks\MSBuild.Community.Tasks.Targets" />
<PropertyGroup>
<Configuration Condition=" '$(Configuration)' == '' ">Release</Configuration>
<ClassLibraryOutputDirectory>c:\publish\</ClassLibraryOutputDirectory>
<ProjectDir>..\PetProject\</ProjectDir >
<ProjectTestDir>$(ProjectDir)PetProject.WebUI\</ProjectTestDir >
<ProjectFile>$(ProjectDir)PetProject.sln</ProjectFile >
<TestProjectFile>$(ProjectTestDir)PetProject.WebUI.csproj</TestProjectFile >
</PropertyGroup>
<!-- Build projects by calling the Project files generated by VS -->
<Target Name="Build">
<MSBuild Projects="$(ProjectFile)" />
<MSBuild Projects="$(TestProjectFile)" />
</Target>
</Project>
I call this in command line using:
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5>msbuild.exe C:\Projects\PetProject\build
\PetProject.build
Help is greatly appreciated...
NOTE: I want to avoid CI, Nant etc. because I dont really know what they are and I ideally want to get the above working as First Base, then move onto other things like CI or whatever else, I dont want to confuse myself too much...
This should give you the same result as publishing from within Visual Studio:
<Project DefaultTargets="BuildAndPublish" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
<Import Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v10.0\Web\Microsoft.Web.Publishing.targets" />
<PropertyGroup>
<ProjectFile>C:\PetProject\PetProject.csproj</ProjectFile >
<OutDir>C:\PetProject\MyPublish</OutDir>
</PropertyGroup>
<Target Name="BuildAndPublish">
<MSBuild Projects="$(ProjectFile)" Targets="Package" Properties="Configuration=Release;PackageLocation=$(OutDir)\MSDeploy\Package.zip;_PackageTempDir=$(OutDir)\Temp" />
</Target>
</Project>
for your project.
Don't forget to import Microsoft.Web.Publishing.targets which contains the Package target (which I mixed up with Publish in my inital answer).
If you want to build your solution your script should look something like this:
<Project DefaultTargets="BuildAndPublish" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
<Import Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v10.0\Web\Microsoft.Web.Publishing.targets" />
<PropertyGroup>
<OutDir>C:\PetProject\MyPublish\</OutDir>
</PropertyGroup>
<ItemGroup>
<Solution Include="C:\PetProject\PetProject.sln">
<Properties>
OutDir=$(OutDir);
Platform=Any CPU;
Configuration=Release;
DeployOnBuild=True;
DeployTarget=Package;
PackageLocation=$(OutDir)\MSDeploy\Package.zip;
_PackageTempDir=$(OutDir)\Temp
</Properties>
</Solution>
</ItemGroup>
<Target Name="BuildAndPublish">
<MSBuild Projects="#(Solution)" />
</Target>
</Project>
There's a blog post by Code Inside which describes basically the same approach but didn't work when I tried it in my environment.
