Very strange, I wrote yesterday (22pm) a long answer about my ANts-compiling try. But it's lost?!? This is now a short form...I tried this:
-Eclipse as Java IDE under Linux. But it didn't work, because in the ANts source code there's an import of JBuilder-files. IMO it's a problem (license and availability) to use this missing JAR files in Eclipse.
-extract the ANts source code
-download all needed JAR files for the additional Java tools used in ANts:
http://www.myjavaserver.com/~gwren/Ants/Put the JAR files into the extracted ANts source tree. The directory "ants" and the file "Log.properties" must be in the same directory as the JAR files.
-create a new Java project, put the directory with the JAR files as project directory and add the JAR files as "external JARs".
-compile it. :-)
I think the process above is correct, and in Borland's JBuilder it will work. In Eclipse I got only compile errors about the missing JBuilder packages in the GUI classes, the other classes were compiled successfully.
EDIT: I tried now with the "XYLayout.jar" from Sourceforge. Now I have only compile warnings, but seems to work. I couldn't manage to start ANtsP2P from Eclipse, I will try it later in this week. Then I will delete this message and insert a howto.
As Gwren mentioned: If you have all JAR files, then it should compile without problems. It's not true that you need Borland JBuilder.Greetings,
