The location attribute on the [property task][1] will convert relative paths to absolute.

    &lt;property name=&quot;absolute.path&quot; location=&quot;${relative.path}&quot;/&gt;

I&#39;m new to git, coming from SVN world. So far, it seems a lot more useful, but I am still working out the kinks. 

Currently, my workflow is like this: 

make changes &gt; git add . &gt; git commit &gt; enter log message

What I don&#39;t understand is why I seem to have to add all of my files before I commit. They are under version control already? Why does git commit tell me there are no changes added to the commit, but also point out that I have modified files? It says &quot;Changed but not updated:&quot;. What does this mean??

Sorry if this is easy, I feel like I am missing some overarching point

Should I have to add files to git every time I want to commit?

I have an activity using an xml layout where a WebView is embedded. I am not using the WebView in my activity code at all, all it does is sitting there in my xml layout and being visible.

Now, when I finish the activity, I find that my activity is not being cleared from memory. (I check via hprof dump). The activity is entirely cleared though if I remove the WebView from the xml layout.

I already tried a 

    webView.destroy();
    webView = null;

in onDestroy() of my activity, but that doesn&#39;t help much.

In my hprof dump, my activity (named &#39;Browser&#39;) has the following remaining GC roots (after having called `destroy()` on it):

    com.myapp.android.activity.browser.Browser
      - mContext of android.webkit.JWebCoreJavaBridge
        - sJavaBridge of android.webkit.BrowserFrame [Class]
      - mContext of android.webkit.PluginManager
        - mInstance of android.webkit.PluginManager [Class]  

I found that another developer has experienced similar thing, see the reply of Filipe Abrantes on:
http://www.curious-creature.org/2008/12/18/avoid-memory-leaks-on-android/

&gt; Indeed a very interesting post.
&gt; Recently I had a very hard time
&gt; troubleshooting a memory leak on my
&gt; Android app. In the end it turned out
&gt; that my xml layout included a WebView
&gt; component that, even if not used, was
&gt; preventing the memory from being
&gt; g-collected after screen rotations/app
&gt; restart… is this a bug of the current
&gt; implementation, or is there something
&gt; specific that one needs to do when
&gt; using WebViews

Now, unfortunately there has been no reply on the blog or the mailing list about this question yet. Therefore I am wondering, is that a bug in the SDK (maybe similar to the MapView bug as reported http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2181) or **how to get the activity entirely off the memory with a webview embedded**?

I am getting below error when running a target of ANT script. Error message saying that &quot;server certificate verification is failed&quot;. Please help how to remove this problem. I am working in Windows XP.

I tried to install Apache Ant on my Mac and I followed the next steps :

1. I downloaded `apache-ant-1.8.1-bin.tar.gz` into my Downloads folder.
2. I moved the file to `/usr/local/` using this commands : `sudo sh` and `mv apache-ant-1.8.1-bin.tar.gz /usr/local/`

Now I want to use `cd /usr/local/` but it&#39;s not working, I get back &quot;No such file or directory&quot;.

Then I used `cd /usr/` and `ls` commands and it seems that the local folder is there. If I try to access it I get the same error.

Since I already used `sudo su` why I can&#39;t access it? Any ideas?

How can I install Apache Ant on Mac OS X?

Should I check in my .project and .classpath files?

My friend told me that I should only check in .java files and the build.xml to guarantee portability. He said &quot;.classpath will cause you much less portability on different environment. .project is entirely your local eclipse setting&quot;

I agree with him, but partially. 

-- Not checking in .project file will make my development less efficient (I can&#39;t simply &quot;import&quot; a project code from a directory)

-- Not checking in .classpath file seems OK to me (?) if my build.xml is written carefully.

Anyone wants to share their experience here?

Java project: should .classpath .project file be committed into repository?


My program getting command line arguments. How can I pass it when I use Ant?

Use Ant for running program with command line arguments

I have an android project that uses ant to build, is it possible to import this ant project in eclipse IDE?

 update : There is an option to create project using ant `build.xml` in eclipse File-&gt;New-&gt;Project-&gt;Java-&gt;Java project from existing ant Buildfile. and if the build.xml file is selected it show error `Specified buildfile does not contain a javac task`

I guess javac is declared in this task

    &lt;taskdef name=&quot;setup&quot;
    classname=&quot;com.android.ant.SetupTask&quot;
    classpathref=&quot;android.antlibs&quot;/&gt;
