Use &quot;target&quot; attribute and remove the &#39;compiler&#39; attribute. See [here][1]. So it should go something like this:

&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;&amp;lt;target name=&quot;compile&quot;&amp;gt;
  &amp;lt;javac target=&quot;1.5&quot; srcdir=.../&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;/target&amp;gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

Hope this helps

Both source and target should be specified. I recommend providing [ant defaults][1], that way you do not need to specify source/target attribute for every javac task:

    &lt;property name=&quot;ant.build.javac.source&quot; value=&quot;1.5&quot;/&gt;
    &lt;property name=&quot;ant.build.javac.target&quot; value=&quot;1.5&quot;/&gt;

See [Java cross-compiling notes][2] for more information.

To find the version of the java in the classfiles I used:

    javap -verbose &lt;classname&gt;

which announces the version at the start as

    minor version: 0
    major version: 49

which corresponds to Java 1.5


You may also set `{{ant.build.javac.target=1.5}}` ant property to update default target version of &lt;javac&gt; task. 
See http://ant.apache.org/manual/javacprops.html#target

I am looking for a stand-alone, easy to use from C# code, template engine.
I want to create an HTML and XML files with placeholders for data,
and fill them with data from my code.

The engine needs to support loops (duplicating parts of the template form more that one object) and conditions (add parts of the template to the final HTML/XML only if some conditions are true).
Can someone recommend a good option for me, and add a link to more-or-less such code sample, and some documentation about how to use the recommended component for my needs?

I also need to use loops to duplicate table rows, or even entire tables (in the HTML version) and complex elements (in the XML version).


C# template engine

As a software engineer, I have a strong bias towards writing business logic in the application layer, while typically relying on the database for little more than CRUD (Create Retrieve Update and Delete) operations. On the other hand, I have run across applications (typically older ones) where a large amount of the business logic was written in stored procedures, so there are people out there that prefer to write business logic in the database layer.

For the people that have and/or enjoy written/writing business logic in a stored procedure, what were/are your reasons for using this method?

Business Logic in Database versus Code?

I need to compile a jar file using ant (1.7.0) to run under a specific version of Java (1.5). I currently have Java 1.6 on my machine. I have tried setting:

    &lt;target name=&quot;compile&quot;&gt;
      &lt;javac compiler=&quot;javac1.5&quot; target=&quot;1.5&quot; srcdir=.../&gt;
    &lt;/target&gt;

I have also removed 

    &lt;property name=&quot;build.compiler&quot; value=&quot;modern&quot;/&gt;

and there is no properties file. I am running Java 1.6 on Linux/SUSE

Also is there a simple way of determining which version of Java is expected in the jar file.


Setting the target version of Java in ant javac

I need to compile a jar file using ant (1.7.0) to run under a specific version of Java (1.5). I currently have Java 1.6 on my machine. I have tried setting:
<pre><code class="hljs language-ini">&#x3C;target name="compile">
 &#x3C;javac compiler="javac1.5" target="1.5" srcdir=.../>
&#x3C;/target>
</code></pre>
I have also removed
<pre><code class="hljs language-ini">&#x3C;property name="build.compiler" value="modern"/>
</code></pre>
and there is no properties file. I am running Java 1.6 on Linux/SUSE
Also is there a simple way of determining which version of Java is expected in the jar file.

I get the error: 

C:\dev\ws\springapp\build.xml:81: Unable to find a javac compiler;
com.sun.tools.javac.Main is not on the classpath.
Perhaps JAVA_HOME does not point to the JDK.
It is currently set to &quot;C:\Program Files\Java\jre6&quot;


But I have clearly set my JAVA_HOME to be C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_14

Where is ANT getting this value?

Why does ANT tell me that JAVA_HOME is wrong when it is not?

I have used `copydir` to copy a directory tree but it is deprecated. My directory contains some sub-directories, and some of those contain files and others contain more sub-directories.

How can I copy the entire tree?

I&#39;m looking for SASS implementation in Java (could be used with JSP/JSF). For Python I&#39;ve found CleverCSS, but there is nothing for Java. Anyone heard something about this sort of tool for generating CSS?

SASS implementation for Java?

I&#39;m using Ant to build some Java projects.  
In some, I&#39;ve got a `lib/` directory, which contains external dependencies, in the form on JAR files.

During the build, I create a bundled jar, that contains the project&#39;s code, alongside the dependencies, by adding to the bundle jar file a `zipfileset` for each of the jars in the `lib/` directory.

The problem is, that every time I add a jar, or change names, I need to remember to update the `build.xml` file, as I couldn&#39;t find a way for adding those `zipfilesets` in an automatic manner that will include all jars in a certain pattern (e.g. `lib/*.jar`).

Is there a better way for doing this?

I&#39;ve considered writing my own Ant Task for this, or using Groovy&#39;s ant API to do this programmatically, but was wondering if there&#39;s a way for doing this using &quot;vanilla&quot; ant.

Creating a bundle jar with ant

I have a java junit test that passes when run alone on a development machine. We also have a hudson job which runs all the tests, invoked via ant, on a Mac OS X 10.4 node with Java 1.5. The test was passing in the hudson build until recently but now (with no related code changes) one test fails everytime with the following error:

Error Message

&gt; Forked Java VM exited abnormally.
&gt; Please note the time in the report
&gt; does not reflect the time until the VM
&gt; exit.

Stacktrace

&gt; junit.framework.AssertionFailedError:
&gt; Forked Java VM exited abnormally.
&gt; Please note the time in the report
&gt; does not reflect the time until the VM
&gt; exit.

googling shows many others seem to have run into the same problem but there I couldn&#39;t find any answer.



&quot;Forked Java VM exited abnormally&quot; error from junit tests

When I compile, javac outputs:

    Note: Some input files use or override a deprecated API.
    Note: Recompile with -Xlint:deprecation for details.`

I wish to suppress this warning. Trying -Xlint:none does not seem to help.

How can I suppress javac warnings about deprecated api?

I&#39;m trying to use `javac` with the windows command prompt, but it&#39;s not working.

After adding the directory `&quot;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_16\bin\&quot;` to the end of the `PATH` environment variable, the `java` command works fine, but using `javac` gives me the following error:

&gt; &#39;javac&#39; is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

javac not working in windows command prompt

I&#39;m about to commit an ugly temporary hack in order to work around a blocking issue while we wait for an external resource to be fixed.  Aside from marking it with a big scary comment and a bunch of FIXMEs, I&#39;d love to have the compiler throw an obvious warning message as a reminder so we don&#39;t forget to take this out.  For example, something like:

	[javac] com.foo.Hacky.java:192: warning: FIXME temporary hack to work around library bug, remove me when library is fixed!

Is there a way I can cause an intentional compiler warning with a message of my choosing?  Failing that, what&#39;s the easiest thing to add to the code to throw an existing warning, with perhaps a message in a string on the offending line so it gets printed in the warning message?

EDIT:
Deprecated tags don&#39;t seem to be doing anything for me:

	/**
	 * @deprecated &quot;Temporary hack to work around remote server quirks&quot;
	 */
	@Deprecated
	private void doSomeHackyStuff() { ... }

No compiler or runtime errors in eclipse or from sun javac 1.6 (running from ant script), and it&#39;s definitely executing the function.



How to intentionally cause a custom java compiler warning message?

Is Eclipse&#39;s Java compiler just a wrapper around the same core that the `javac` program is wrapped around, or is it a separate compiler altogether? If the latter, why would they reinvent the wheel?

What is the difference between javac and the Eclipse compiler?

Is this valid Java?

    import java.util.Arrays;
    import java.util.List;

    class TestWillThatCompile {

        public static String f(List&lt;String&gt; list) {
            System.out.println(&quot;strings&quot;);
            return null;
        }

        public static Integer f(List&lt;Integer&gt; list) {
            System.out.println(&quot;numbers&quot;);
            return null;
        }

        public static void main(String[] args) {
            f(Arrays.asList(&quot;asdf&quot;));
            f(Arrays.asList(123));
        }

    }

- Intellij 9 says **yes**  
- Sun javac 1.6.0_20 says **yes**  
- GCJ 4.4.3 says **yes**    
- GWT compiler says **yes**    
- Crowd at my [previous Stackoverflow question][1] says **no**

My java theory understanding says **no**!

It would be interesting to know what [the JLS][2] is saying about it.
