Ant and CVS

Not sure if this is the right forum, but has anyone managed to get Ant to connect to CVS via SSH
I am trying the following in my build file
<target name="checkout">
<delete dir="project" includeemptydirs="true"/>
<property name="src" value="."/>
<cvs cvsRoot=":ext:usernaml@localhost:/Users/user/cvsrep" command="co project" cvsRsh="ssh" />
</target>The .cvspass file exists but it keeps prompting me for a password.

Best practice: team based development with JDeveloper and CVS?

Hi all!
I was wondering of what is the best way to work with Jdev 9i and cvs on a same project with 5 developers whereas
all developers use the same JPRs and JWS?
Which of the files should be checked in to the central CVS repository, which should be remained on the local machine of each developer?
I assume, all java and xml files might be stored in the cvs repository. But how can we make sure that new files written by a member of the team will be added to my project?
If we also check in the JPR and CFG files the merge of concurrent JPRs will fail and our project will be shreddered ;-)
My question: what is your best experience with simultanous development on same projects?
Any idea?
Many thanks,
Stefan

1. Put everything that your project needs under CVS control:
- buildscripts
- BC4J jarfiles
- BC4J generated files (java, xml, xcfg, jpx, cpx)
- .properties, package.html, gif, ...
- docu
- install scripts
- starter batch or exec, ...
2. Each developer should have a own JPR and JWS file. In a seperate location those files could be checked in frequently to easy allow the setup of a new Developer workstation
3. Use a sourcecode formatter (e.g. jalopy) on the BC4J generated java files to reduce merge conflicts because of empty lines generated by JDev dialogs
4. Adding new files is no problem:
- if you add new BC4J objects (AM, VO, ASC, EO, VL) also checkin the bc4j package XML so new files will be added.
- set in project settings common / input paths - "Scan source path ..."
5. Deleting BC4J files is a problem, because JDev does not automatically remove them from the project. So if someone deletes BC4J objects, you should close the project and delete it manually from the jpr file
6. Close the project before making a CVS update wih external tool like Tortoise because of JDev caches

Packages, Classpath, Ant, and JUnit (setting up a nice environment)

Hi,
I am seeking a little help getting up and running, creating a nice environment where I can build a Java project, including building with Ant and using JUnit - hopefully this is the right forum. I am having some trouble in getting JUnit to run my tests properly (it is installed and findable by my Java install) and I think this is due to a package/classpath issue that is currently outside my experience. Here's my setup to explain:
I have installed the JUnit jar in my extensions folder, and it works properly (I can call it, don't get errors about JUnit), however, when I run my test I get the error:
"Could not find class: org.xxx.powersim.ModelTest
Time: 0
OK (0 tests)
Java Result: 1"
ModelTest has been compiled properly without error, and looks like this:
package org.xxx.powersim;
import org.junit.*;
import static org.junit.Assert.*;
import java.util.*;
public final class ModelTest {
     public static void main(String args[]) {
           org.junit.runner.JUnitCore.main("org.xxx.powersim.ModelTest");
     @Test
     public void testJunit() {
          assertTrue(true);
}Pretty simple stuff.
As you can see I'm trying to use the 'main' method of the test to execute the test itself... but I've tried running it via the runner from the command line also: "java org.junit.runner.JUnitCore org.xxx.powersim.ModelTest". I get the same result.
It might be a package issue, so here's how I have things set up in the file system:
PowerSim
     /build
          /org
               /xxx
                    /powersim
                         - ModelTest.class
     /src
          /org
               /xxx
                    /powersim
                         -ModelTest.javaI've tried running it within Ant, by hand using the runner, by hand calling the main method, and from within TextMate's built-in bundle - I get the same result. JUnit is installed and running fine, but it can't seem to see the test class - the more I think about it this is a package problem that I'm just not sure how to fix. I've tried running it by hand in the root /PowerSim directory, in the /build folder, and in the /powersim folder where ModelTest is. I still get the error that "Could not find class: org.xxx.powersim.ModelTest".
My files compile just fine with my simple Ant script which is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="PowerSim" default="run" basedir=".">
<property name="src" value="./src"/>
<property name="build" value="./build"/>
<property name="compile.debug"       value="true"/>
<path id="compile.classpath">
   <pathelement location="${mysql.jdbc}"/>
   <pathelement location="${junit.jar}"/>
</path>
   <target name="build" depends="init">
       <javac srcdir="${src}"
              destdir="${build}"
              debug="${compile.debug}"
              source="1.5">
          <classpath refid="compile.classpath"/>
       </javac>
   </target>
<target name="init">
   <mkdir dir="${build}"/>
</target>
<target name="run" depends="build">
   <java classname="org.xxx.powersim.Model"
       fork="true"
       dir="${build}"
       classpath="${build}"
       maxmemory="500m">
   </java>
   </target>
     <target name="test" depends="build">
         <java classname="org.xxx.powersim.ModelTest"
             fork="yes"
             dir="${build}"
             classpath="${build}"
             maxmemory="500m">
         </java>
         </target>
<target name="clean" description="Removes previous build">
   <delete verbose="true">
     <fileset dir="${build}"/>
   </delete>
</target>
</project>As you can see, I'm not sure what to try next - any help would be much appreciated.
I've tried adding things to my $CLASSPATH. For example I've added the root folder of the project, 'PowerSim' to my classpath, but this appears to have no effect. I am running OS X 10.5.
Thanks again for any help you may be able to offer, it will be very much appreciated,

Ok - final bump and then I'll go away.

Building jars using ant and eclipse

Note: If this post could be in a more appropriate forum category could someone please tell me which one is better.
Vexing issue:
I am using ANT so that it will take care of which classes have been modified and therefore which jars need to be updated.
I noticed one way ANT can work is to look at the timestamp of the class files and then build the necessary jars. This works fine EXCEPT that eclipse has a nasty habit of sometimes recompiling everything, even when I dont ask it to. It would seem to make more sense basing the recompilation on the source files, and whether they have been modified. So I set this up with my build.xml, ie
<target name="compile" depends="init"
description="compile the source " >

<javac srcdir="${src}" destdir="${build}" fork="true"/>
</target>
Now suppose I go and change one of my source files, ANT recompiles that file and that all works great. However, suppose that file had in it, which many do,
public static String EXAMPLE_VARIABLE = "example";
This static variable is referenced in many classes, and yet ANT only recompiles the one file, and thus there begins an inconsistency!
Is there any way to get around this? I would have expected ANT to recompile all the files that depend on the class with the static variable but it doesnt.
Any help much appreciated.
Cel

You know, that's a good question. I would think JVMs at runtime could resolve static variables, like when it compiles classes using that static variable it puts a placeholder "Hey, here I am using XXX, at runtime, figure it out and give me the value right at the start..". But I think it works like you suggest in that a static value is compiled into every location that uses it. The only thing I can think of is provide a target for a build-all in your ant and have it rebuild all.
I agree though that the javac compiler should be smarter in how it compiles classes. Anytime a class has certain attributes that may be compiled in to other classes, it should check and recompile any class that depends on the static value that has changed.

Jheadstart, JDeveloper and CVS and TeamWork

Hi
We're four-developer team and we've been working with Jheadstart for some months. Now we want to work with team options that provide jdeveloper (CVS or SCM). But, we are a too much suprised with all the problems that other developers had with CVS, we read it in some jdeveloper forums (JDeveloper and CVS and TeamWork and JDeveloper and CVS
I get very worry about the problems that developers had with CVS and that at last they don't find a better solution than migrate to jdeveloper 10.1.3. All the forums recomend migrate to jdeveloper 10.1.3 for better support of team work, but I read (some time ago) that jdeveloper 10.1.3 still doesn't support ADF, then I assume we cannot use it with Jheadstart, Am I right? Is there a way to use Jheadstart with JDeveloper 10.1.3 Preview right now?
What do you recomend for team work with Jheadstart?
Thanks in advance
Liceth

Liceth,
As you problably know, the JHeadstart team consists of consultants and we face the exact same problems and share the exact same frustrations as you do on an every day basis at our customer projects. It is indeed not easy to use JDeveloper in a multi-developer environment. In all fairness much of this is a given when doing file-based development, and I have seen the exact same problems in situations where other IDE's such as Eclipse etc were used. But using advanced frameworks like ADF and BC4J makes matters more complex, because the declarative way of developing these applications using drag&drop and powerful wizards make you as a developer be less 'in touch' with the file or files that are actually created and updated, and also there tend to be more files in such an architecture that are changed simultaneously by many developers at once.
Merging is the only way out of this mess, and merge tools are not perfect, far from it. They get better and better but at some point you'll need to understand the semantics of the files that are to be merged to be able to merge them correctly, and merge tools will in all likelyhood never become that smart.
Until they do, the only thing one can do is to tackle the problem from the other side: if merge tools dont understand the files they merge, we should take into account the weaknesses of these merge tools, and set up our files so that changes CAN be automatically merged, or in most cases at least. Indeed, JDeveloper 10.1.3 is taking good steps in this direction for notoriously tricky files such as JPR files and such. But the problem will never completely go away.
As for using 10.1.3, well, as you said the preview does not contain ADF so JHeadstart will never run on it. We are developing JHeadstart 10.1.3 that will run on the production version of JDeveloper 10.1.3, but it will be a long time before that release will see the light. And although JDeveloper 10.1.3 is a kick-ass IDE (imho), it will not magically solve all multi-user issues. It will just be a bit more bearable.
Is there ever a real solution for it? I don't know. I have worked intensively with the Oracle Designer product before I switched to Java, and that tool, which uses a database rather than files to store its information, was almost perfect when dealing with multi-user development. It could do so because the level at which conflicts occur is VERY finegrained (so not at 'code line' level but sometimes as far as 'individual properties in a property inspector' level), plus the advantages of instantaneous locking in the database when modifying something. And, thinking of it, it could do so because it dealt with 'structured objects' rather than files, thereby having some 'semantic' information about the data. I have this feeling we can only 'get it right' if we will treat, for instance, a Java file not as a collection of lines of code, but of a structured object tree with members, constructors, methods, parameters etc. etc., and store it as such, instead of storing it as a flat OS file.
Just ranting here (this really should be a personal BLOG entry rather than a forum post, but oh well). As you can tell, its a subject that is very close to every developer's heart.
Kind regards,

JDeveloper and CVS and TeamWork

Hi,
we have a small team with 4 members and are developing in JDeveloper 10.1.2 with CVS plug-in (struts, toplink, jsp).
We are beginners and are frustrated now: every commit/update causes problems.
Always are problems with
- project.jpr files (synchronization among developers)
- sessions.xml (we cannot really add this file to cvs)
- state of offline tables (and digrams) are sometimes wrong show: restart of JDeveloper is necessary
- many JDevelopers files are unvisible, but must be added to cvs
- and more and more
Please - are somebody using JDeveloper & CVS in team with satisfaction? Are our problems beginner-problems or is this way wrong?
Thanks for your experience.
Jara

My biggests issues with JDeveloper and CVS are as follows:
1. Oracle puts out an article that talks about Version controllable XML and the biggest culprits of violators of this rule are the Oracle project files: StrutsPAgeFlow.oxd_struts, ViewController.jpr, and Model.jpr. Not nice when you can no longer open your Struts-config.xml file due to all the <==== lines in the file! In almost all instances, since we've built most of the files and aren't adding/removing much from the project as a whole, we can easily correct these problems then commit again, or just issue a clean update on them, and disregard (especially when it appears to be an ordering issue)
2. Also, we've seen model.jpr files switch contents (areas look like they are swapped around) in between versions. Why? The files are identical except the position of the nodes.
3. I really want to know my OUT-OF-SYNC files BEFORE I do an update. Kind of like the Uncommitted files window, I'd like: Hey, how out of sync am I?
4. The COMPARE utility is very nice, however, once CVS takes over and does the automatic MERGE, you're really left with a mess (at times). Any time we get a "failure to update" message, we issue a compare against the current reposistory version verses version on disk and see what the differences are. Then we search for whether our stuff was merged properly.
5. The only docs I've seen on Jdeveloper and CVS are "introductory" type documentation. Don't put out a document that talks about issues that are "out-of-scope" when these are the very issues that people need to deal with every day, and are looking for answers. The "oracle jdeveloper 10g" handbook is no better, offering about 4 pages of an "overview of CVS".
6. People have asked before about CVS, even on Metalink and an answer from Oracle is to look at an OTN post. I'm sorry, but that really doesn't cut it, especially when your support bill is over $500K/year.
enough rambling...
CVS and Jdeveloper 10.1.2 are working at our shop with 3-4 developers on the project, but it can be paintful during the "conflicts during merge" times.

ANT and JUnit in weblogic

Hi.
I see that the problem with ant and junit is discussed here, but with no absolutte solution.
The problem:
I create an build.xml containing the <junit>-task and want to run this from within the BEA Workshop. The standard error-message is that it cant find the junit-task. I can run the same build file from command since I got ANT set up correctly with JUnit outside Weblogic.
It sems for me that Workshop dont care about existing installation of ANT, it uses it own version. I have included junit.jar in the same direstory as ant.jar is in BEA-install-dir also, but it wont work.
Does anyone have a solution to this "small" problem??
Thanks in advance.

I haven't figured out why, but my JDeveloper automatically adds the classpath I have in my ant build.xml to the additional classpath of the project. My classpath is set like this in the build.xml:<path id="classpath">
<fileset dir="env/lib">
      <include name="**/*.jar"/>
    </fileset>
</path>And my compile target looks like this:<target name="compile" depends="init">
    <mkdir dir="${compile.outdir}"/>
    
    <javac destdir="${compile.outdir}" debug="on">
       <classpath refid="classpath"/>
       <src refid="srcpath"/>
    </javac>
</target>And my Jdev project settings -> common -> ant has my build.xml file selected with default make and rebuild targets selected. I have never put a single entry in the additional classpath area but somehow I have all the libs as I set up in my build.xml file. I'm using JDev 9.0.3.2 by the way.

JDeveloper and CVS

Hi All,
Just for anybody getting started with JDeveloper and CVS. I've been using both during a while and my comments are:
-- If you are thinking to replace your old CVS System, you really must think about it, JDeveloper just incorporates a little subset of features any CVS System actually has (like eclipse).
-- If somebody have been working with the same code your are using, to know if the code have changed isn't as simple like to make a "check for changes or compare with". Because if you use "JDeveloper Compare With option", JDeveloper check correctly for changes, but for changes over your own last revision, so if somebody create a new revision, you will loose your changes.
well I think JDeveloper creators must make a lot of effort to incorporate CVS functionality, if not, better remove this option from it.
anybody has any comments???

I need to try to understand why you would want to erase a version controlled file in your sandbox from disk but not remove it from version control. I guess we do this automatically because it seems like the right thing to do... it should be noted that this is also the default behavior in Eclipse.
If you remove a file from your sandbox but do not schedule it for removal from CVS, you could basically make changes in your sandbox that will cause other developers to run into compilation errors after you commit and they update.
E.g. SomeClass.java depends on a class defined in AnotherClass.java. You remove SomeClass.java from disk but not from the sandbox. You then rename a method in AnotherClass.java that SomeClass.java had been using. You compile your project, it all seems fine. You commit your changes to the cvs repository. Then your collegue updates and the world is broken.
It seems like a bad way to work. I'd be interested to know what the usecase is for doing this and whether there is perhaps a better way of achieving it (e.g. using working sets or the project content filters).
I'm aware of the issues with the files you mention. They're not really issues with the CVS support as such, they're issues with the parts of the product which generate those files. I know that probably doesn't make much difference to you, but it is relevant in terms of how (quickly) things get fixed.
The xml mergeability of several IDE files (in particular projects) improved greatly in JDeveloper 10.1.3 preview. I've tried very hard to raise awareness in the teams that develop those other features (ADF and Struts) about issues they have with version control. It's sometimes hard to convince people that there's really a problem for some reason. I'm hoping things will eventually improve. You can help that a lot by reporting such issues to your Oracle Support representative so that your specific problems are being tracked as TARs.
Thanks,
Brian

Struts Diagram and CVS Problems

We're having a difficult time with the StrutsPageFlow.oxd_struts and CVS. Anytime a developer makes a change to the Struts diagram and commits the struts-config.xml file, the StrutsPageFlow.oxd_struts file also gets committed. When a different developer updates the struts-config.xml file the StrutsPageFlow.oxd_struts file has a conflict on just about every item. We're also encountering this on our *.jpr and bc4j.xcfg files.
JDeveloper 10g is stealing a lot of our time as we're having to manually work around a lot of CVS conflicts on files that are not shown in the project but associated with project files like the struts-config.
Anyone else having CVS issues with these "behind-the-scene" files?

Hi Jason,
Unfortunately, this is a known issue. The only workaround we can suggest for struts at the moment is using an exclusive editing mode. Whenever a developer needs to modify the struts diagram, he should issue a cvs edit. Other developers should use the "List Editors" functionality in JDev to check whether someone is currently editing the file.
We're working on resolving these team development issues in the 10.1.3 release.
Thanks,
Brian

ADF BC : Ant and XSLT to modify bc4j.xcfg and DataBindings.cpx

hi
Before I deploy my ADF BC / ADF Swing application I would like to use Ant to make some changes to bc4j.xcfg and DataBindings.cpx
(see also "Defining ADF Business Components Runtime Properties for ADF Swing Applications" in the JDeveloper documentation)
I would like DataBindings.cpx to point to the correct configuration and bc4j.xcfg to only contain the configuration information that is required.
I created some XSLT transformation stylesheets to help me with that, see this example application:
http://verveja.footsteps.be/~verveja/files/oracle/AntXsltConnectionSwitchStuff-v0.02.zip
question
Does JDeveloper itself provide any features to automatically make changes to DataBindings.cpx (and bc4j.xcfg) before deployment?
many thanks

SQL Developer and CVS

I have installed the CVS extension for SQL Developer 3.0.
I am able to create a CVS connection.
However, almost everything in the versioning menu is still greyed out.
After I have setup the CVS connection, how can I make changed to a file in CVS?
I am very familiar with CVS and have it all working in other tools. However I am stuck with SQL Developer.
Thanks in advance for your help!

I am using Version 3.1.05 with CVS. One of the projects has CVS files that are not tagged (they are on the HEAD). When I open PL/SQL source file from my sandbox it has in the version property file type as UnrecognizedTextNode. I am guessing based on this type I am loosing history tab and formating that I am usually getting when I check out file that has a tag. Is there some fix for this probelm?
Thanks,

How to stop running ant and the program

Hi all,
I have a java system which using ant to start execute external programs (.exe), by calling project.executeTargets(targets);
the exe will take a while to finish, sometimes user want to stop it, but still keep main system running, and fire another project.executeTargets(targets), therefore I can't use system.exit()
Now how can I stop this ant "project", and make sure the exe program also been terminated? By calling project.fireBuildFinished()?
Since the project.executeTargets(targets) will catch RuntimeException, maybe somewhere i can call process.destroy()?
Thanks for help
