Problem with command line arguments and multiple targets in ant

Based on the argument value,I have to create properties file .I am using the key value pairs present in the properties file in my build.xml file.
Here the problem is , I am able to create the properties file,using the argument vaue.i.e.,
ant -Denv=build-dev copy.
ant build-all.
it works fine,but if i want to call another target which uses the propeties file ,at the time of passing argument is failing
ant -Denv=build-dev copy build-all
why it is happening ?
My build.xml file
<project name="AntParam" default="copy">
<target name="copy">
<fail unless="env">You must specify the env property when you run ant.</fail>
available property="env.prop.file.exists" file="${env}.properties"/>
<fail unless="env.prop.file.exists">Cannot find ${env}.properties file.</fail>
copy file="${env}.properties" tofile="build.properties" overwrite="true"/>
</target>
<target name="build-all">
<property name="one.dir" value="${project.home}/two" />
</target>
</project>
"${project.home}"--------this value I am getting from properties file.

i find solution.

Permission problems with command line CVS and Java CVS App

Greetings,
I'm part of a moderately sized website development team which recently upgraded to MacBook Pros (dual core) running OS 10.4.9. One of the primary tools we use in our day to day work is the open source concurrent versioning system (CVS). We've noticed a distressing issue running CVS on our macbook pros: there seems to be a problem with the way these new machines handle permissions on the directories/files that CVS uses to manage files.
The error occurs when the CVS application, in this case both command line CVS and GUI CVS application named SmartCVS, tries to rename a temporary file named Entries~ to its new name Entries (no ~). It looks like this:
java.io.IOException: Could not rename file
/Users/[USER]/Sites/[MODULE]/lib/CVS/Entries~ to
/Users/[USER]/Sites/[MODULE]/lib/CVS/Entries
at smartcvs.JP.a(SourceFile:125)
at smartcvs.JP.a(SourceFile:113)
We've noticed that if we open up a get info window on the directory we're downloading, and choose "Apply to enclosed items" right when we start the download process, the issue will be resolved, presumably because the permissions are being set on the subdirectories as the download is taking place.
We've checked the permissions on the overall ~/Sites/ directory numerous times, and they always seem to be set correctly as drwxr-xr-x. It's within this folder that CVS creates a directory with the CVS module name and downloads all the contained files, so we don't see why it would be having issues completing this successfully. We also checked to ensure the GUI CVS application is running under the current user on the machine: it does.
Has anyone run into issues like this in the past? Is there more information I could provide to further clarify the problem we're having?
Thanks for any input you have!

Thanks for asking Jeff, yes one place we are seeing this error is Java application SmartCVS, though the results posted here are from a normal command line CVS checkout.

Problem with command line argument files and quoted strings

I'm trying to use the following custom tag:
-tag com.me.Test.testTag:f:"My Test Tag"
This works fine when sent straight to the command line, but if I put it in an argument file (@argfile) along with the rest of my command, I get the following error:
javadoc: Illegal package name: "My Test Tag"
Any idea why this is happening? If I use a one-word tag header and omit the quotes, javadoc runs with no problems. I'm using Sun's SDK 1.4.1.
Thanks for your help!
Linda Howard

White space is treated a bit differently in an @argfile,
to enable users to put packages or options on separate lines.
You might try escaping the spaces:
"My\ Test\ Tag"
or using a non-breaking space:
"My Test Tag"
What operating system are you on?

How To Run An External .exe File With Command Line Arguments

Hiya, could anyone tell me how I can run an external .exe file with command line arguments in Java, and if possible catch any printouts the external .exe file prints to the command line.
Thanks.

Problem associated with Command Line arguments

hi ,
I am not able to pass a file path as command line argument in java.
Actually i want to run a java program from the command prompt passing a file path . Something like this i tried to do , but its not working.
D:\VISHAL\src> java CopyFile C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\link.txt
where ,
CopyFile is the name of my class which i am going to run
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\link.txt is the argument.
Can anyone tell me whether a java program accepts an argument like this, if yes please tell me the exact syntax..
Thanks

is there any other way of solving this?Y don't U try it out with the logic as mentioned
below it wud be the case if U r not going with
java CopyFile "C:\Documents and
Settings\Administrator\Desktop\link.txt" 1
String filepath = new String();
for(int i = 0; i < Arg.length; i++)
filepath.append(Arg);
File f = new File(filepath);
What???? This is a non-solution to a non-problem. First of all, you would be constructing a filename without spaces, when the real path contains spaces. Secondly, even if you did insert spaces it would not matter. What if the String (and it does not have to be a filename) contained tabs rather than spaces. The real (and really only) solution to the problem is to put quotes around the argument, for the exact reason stated in my last post.

Need Help with command line arguments for a class method

Hey guys,
I'm fairly new to programming in java.
I want to a write a class method that adds up its command line arguments which are numbers. For example, if the input was .... 5 2 3....then the output would be 10.
I have been told to use the Convert to convert a string to a double. I'm ok for writing the class method but I have no idea how to use Convert and why I need it in the method.
Can anybody help please?

Hey guys,
I'm fairly new to programming in java.
I want to a write a class method that adds up its
command line arguments which are numbers. For
example, if the input was .... 5 2 3....then the
output would be 10.Okay. So you would receive the numbers to add as the String[] argument to a main method. The steps are simple:
1) declare a variable for the count
2) for each String in the array:
2.1) extract the value as a double
2.2) add this to the count
3) output the resulting count
I have been told to use the Convert to convert a
string to a double.
I'm ok for writing the class
method but I have no idea how to use ConvertThere is no class Convert in the Java API.
and why
I need it in the method. Do you understand you need to somehow convert each String to a double (step 2.1)? Since Convert is unknown to me, maybe you should just take a look at class Double. It can help you do step 2.1, the rest should be trivial enough.

Give it a go and feel free to post back with a specific problem you are having, accurately described if you please :-)

Executing another program with command line arguments

I am very new to Java, so bare with me.
I have written an encryption/decryption program in C (that accepts command line arguments of the key, mode (encrypt/decrypt), and file), and I have written a GUI for it in Java. It accepts the filename (and has a button which opens the "File/Open" dialog), key, and mode, and has a button to Start the process of the encryption. I'd like for that "Start" button to call my encryption program in C (eep.exe) with the command line arguments of the file, key, and mode. This is what I have written so far :
Start = new JButton("Start");
Start.setBounds(150, 180, 90, 25);
Start.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) {
Desktop.open(new File("C:\\eep.exe" + " " + filename + " " + mode + " " + key));
However, I get the error "Cannot make a static reference to the non-static method open(File) from the type Desktop" on the Desktop.open command.
What should I do? Is Desktop.Open the right way to go about this? If not, what is the right way to go about it?
Thanks in advance.

That has helped greatly, but I cannot pass command line arguments to it.
Using :
try {
    Desktop.getDesktop().open(new File("C:\\eep.exe"));
catch (Exception e) {
   System.out.println("Error executing.");
}I can execute eep.exe, but when I try to pass command line arguments to it, such as
Desktop.getDesktop().open(new File("C:\\eep.exe" + " " + filename));it fails, get caught and prints "Error Executing."
I have also tried loading the program, as well as some command line arguments into an array of strings :
String[] cmdArray = {"C:\\eep.exe", filename};
Desktop.getDesktop().open(new File(cmdArray));But it gives me the error "The constructor File(String[]) is undefined" on the
new File (cmdArray)part of the command.

Launch executable with command line arguments

I have a programmer that I need to launch in my cvi code. I tried the system command and lauchexecutable command but cannot get the programmer to lauch correctly. If I run it from the command prompt or create a windows shortcut it works fine. Here is the shortcut I created:
C:\TPD\SAVS20P3\asix\up\up.exe /e c:\tpd\savs20p3\q33.hex/erase /q /p
I'm trying to run the up.exe software with /e c:\tpd\v20_hex\v20.hex /erase /q /p as the command line paramters.
I tried the following code which created the above path with command line
strcpy(filename,"C:\\tpd\\savs20p3\\asix\\up\\up.exe /e c:\\tpd\\savs20p3\\hex_ee\\"); ///e c:\\tpd\\savs20p3\\hex_ee\\"");
strcat(filename, hfile);//hex file name will change dynamically
strcat(filename, "/q /p");
I then tried LaunchExecutable(filename) and system(filename). The system functions gives an error. Its trying to lauch the /e c:\tpd\v20_hex\v20.hex file
any suggestions. I beieve its a simple syntax error.

Well, apart evident typos in the code you posted, which is not creating the command line you stated, I can only think that before "/q" you should add a space to separate the option from the filename.
This code should create the correct command line:
strcpy (hfile, "c:\\tpd\\v20_hex\\v20.hex");
strcpy (filename, "C:\\tpd\\savs20p3\\asix\\up\\up.exe /e ");
strcat (filename, hfile);
strcat (filename, " /erase /q /p");
Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.

WRT160N - problem with on-line games and downloading

Hi,
Several months ago I bought a WRT160N router and I have a strange problem.
When I play online games, such as QL, and someone else will start downloading from the Internet, from time to time about 10 sec I have 999 ping
I turned on in the background ping to the router, and from time to time about 10 sec there are 2-3 ansewers with 1900-2000 ms.
I tought that when I buy router with N-mode everything will work better, and there will be no problems with on-line gaming.
Is there any way to fix this problem??

I checked now and even no one is downloading there is the same problem.
I checked on other router and it works fine.
Next problem is when I browse youtube and play several films simultaneously, suddenly there are no responses from router, when I close them, and wait for a moment the responses are back.
Whether anyone had similar problem??

Problem with new-line-character and java.io.LineNumberReader under AIX

Hi folks,
I got the following problem: I wrote a little parser that reads in a plain-text, tabulator-separated, line-formatted logfile (and later on safes the data to a 2-dimensional Vector). This logfile was originally generated by an AIX ksh script, however, I copied it on my Windows machine to work with it (for I'm using a Java editor that runs under Win Systems).
For any reason, Windows, and what is worse Java too, seems not to recognize correctly the new-line character (in the API it is written that this should be a newline '\n' or a carriage-return '\r' or one followed by the other) that marks the end of a line in the logfile.
Also, when I'm opening the logfile with the "Notepad"-editor, this special character does not seem to be recognized, every line is inserted right after the other.
On the other side, when I open the logfile with the built-in editor in the CMD-Shell ("Dos-shell"), the newline chars seem to be recognized correctly.
But when start my parser on the AIX-machine the newline does not seem to be recognized correctly again.
I tried to read in the logfile with MS-Excel and safe it as a plain-text, tabulator-separated, line-formatted logfile again, with such files my parser works fine both on the AIX as it does on Windows.
Any ideas? Anybody got over the same problem already?
Greetz FK

Under windows, text files' lines are usually delimited by \r\n,
under Unix/Linux/AIX etc. \n
and under Mac \r.
I recommend to use the following editors, which are capable to handle files with Unix and Windows-styled line-delimiters or convert between these types:
Programmer's File Editor (PFE; available on Windows)
The Nirvana Editor (http://www.nedit.org/; available on Unix, MAcOS, Windows)
(BTW good old vim can handle that too. Transferring text files to windows in order to edit them, even using Excel for this purpose means your being a UNIX newbie, (I mean no offense by writing this) so vim is probably beyond your reach for the moment.)
Java normally assumes the platform's line delimiters where it is running, so if you transferred the file from Unix to Windows might be distrurbing.

Permissioning problems with TimeCapsule AFP share and multiple users

Hi,
I am currently sharing my TimeCapsule filesystem (guest perms) as AFP, I have it automounting via automounter. Problem is that whoever hit's the automounter dir first is marked as the owner of all the shared files, other users then cannot delete/modify them (i want the share completely world read/writeable). The mount_afp command does not seem to support the relevant fmask/dmask params that mount_nfs does (which would cause the mount to be mounted with consistent ownership.)
So..
1. I presume NFS is not supported (boo!)
2. Does anyone else have this working? I would imagine that I should also be able to get this working through group permissions, but for the same reason i cannot force automounter to mount the filesystem with the user/group ownership I want.
thoughts?suggestions?
Thanks
Liam
P.S. I could also try SMB but playing movies on Frontrow off a networked SMB filesystem is usually poor (compared to NFS anyway)

Yes, you can turn off photos in icloud. (settings - icloud- photos)
You can also allow users to use their own apple id's for imessages and facetime. Unlike icloud those can be changed any time, so that does not present security problem. Settings -messages and settings- facetime.
If you dead set on using same apple id, you can make sure that every user only has their phone number checked in messages, so everyone has to go to settings- messages- send and receive and uncheck apple id.

Problems with 1 icloud account and multiple users.

We have multiple users all on 1 icloud so we can share apps but also see what people have installed and because IT control the password its upto us what apps get installed. So in that sense this was a good idea. The problem we are having is that the iphone users photos, messages and other things are becoming available on other iphones on this 1 icloud account. So for example one user went on her photos to discover someone elses photos was in their and then also had messages from a contact who only her manager has (also one of the icloud users)
Is there any settings we could change to keep the 1 icloud acount but make it so peoples photos and messages dont sync.

Compiling Problem With Command Line

I am facing problem to compile the following class:
the error code is Like the following :
Sorry, I was trying to understand the members of a class declaration
but I got confused when I saw 'var' which is a keyword.var city: String;
{color:#ff0000}class Address {
var city: String;
}{color}
But when i compile the following class there was no error.
{color:#339966}class Address {
attribute city: String;
}{color}
Ok I consider that it takes attribute key word.
But in NetBeans 6.5 The following code is OK
{color:#339966}class Address {
var city: String;
}{color}
Could Any One tell me where is the problem.
With Best Regards

You have two different versions of the compiler on your machine. The right syntax is the one with the var-keyword.

Writing command line arguments

Is there a way in java to specify which command line argument belongs to each option, like in Perl?
Like -name Sally -age 23 -city New York
Or would one have to write their own parsing function to do that?

You see a lot of quick and dirty initialization code that looks likeif (args.equals("-name")) {setName(args[i+1]);}Obviously the getopts people had to write one too many program with command line arguments.

Command line parameters and resuming

Hi,
I am researching for a client who wishes to have several students (K-12) using Adobe Captivate course on the same computer. Another constraint is that a course is run from DVD (1+ GB in size) so it's published as standalone application (.exe for Windows, .app for Mac). Quick questions:
Can a course have an action to parse command line parameters? I haven't found that.
Explanation: this would be used to simply parse a name and e-mail address (if possible) and last module passed to a course player. Resuming could be disabled (there is an answer how to do that in the forum) or overridden but the learner should be transferred to a slide to resume based on the calling parameter (and not the default resuming - there will be several users so each must resume from the last passed module slide).
Can a progress of the current learner using the course be saved to a database (no LMS, e-mail, Acrobat.com etc)?
Explanation: this is needed for the current learner and for each one separately. I guess I already have a solution in mind (custom application, having small internal web server like Mongoose, with a script that replaces internalServerReporting.php and saves the data to a internal database, SQLite). But for this to work spawning a course with command line parameters and course itself reading these parameters would need to work.
If there is a (better) solution for the above, please reply. The goal is have minimal changes on the course e.g. if there are command line parameters, then parse them and do something (mark modules passed, open appropriate next slide). If parameters are not given/recognized, do nothing (so the course would still work on computers used by one learner only, including resuming etc).
My opinion is that this should also be one-way as much as possible. E.g. additional application handles user name, e-mail and current progress and spawns Captivate course. The published course itself should not depend on the application like reading progress from a text file (though an URL call could return current progress from an application for the same user name). So ideally only changes to use internal server publishing to save current progress and adding a logic to check parameters at start would be applied to a course.
Waiting for your smart answers.
Matt

DVDs, when finalized, are read-only... so unless you are considering to do an Install of the course from the DVD to the machine, you're not going to be able to write to a database. A USB stick may be more suitable in this situation.
Command line params are not possible with EXEs unless you create your own EXE wrapper. If you're going to go through that trouble, you'd be better off creating an Adobe Air application that can run your local web content without security restrictions and use SQLite or some other backend to store the data.
Can the progress be saved? It depends what you mean by progress. If you just want to allow the student to resume from the slide where they left off... you can do that with a bit of JavaScript. However, if you want to ensure that any previous questions answered on a quiz were also resumed and intact from the previous session... not possible without an LMS.
Why not run a Moodle installation via a USB stick and you can have a full featured LMS with a database and ability to resume a previous session?
http://docs.moodle.org/19/en/Installation_guide_-_Moodle_for_Windows_on_a_USB_Memory_Stick
Just some things to consider...
