ANT build file for the Quickstart example

[Deepak S Patwardhan]

Hello,

 

Has anyone written an ANT build file for the Quick start example on Project
jigsaw's homepage ?

 

Since current Maven is pretty much unusable for Jigsaw projects (right?), I
tried to create an ANT build.xml with the intention to define targets like

 

compile - compile the code.

dist - prepare the jmod files using jpkg.

install - install the jmod files into project's module library using jmod.

 

But, I can't get the compile to happen successfully. This is what I tried :
(target init creates the modules/ folder)

 

    <target name="compile" depends="init">

        <javac srcdir="src" sourcepath="src/classes" destdir="modules"
fork="yes" includeantruntime="no">

            <compilerarg value="-modulepath modules" /> 

        </javac>

    </target>

 

The build fails with this message :

 

compile:

    [javac] Compiling 5 source files to
/home/deepak/Projects/kingdom/kssjava8/jigsaw/modules

    [javac] javac: invalid flag: -modulepath modules

    [javac] Usage: javac <options> <source files>

    [javac] use -help for a list of possible options

 

Any suggestions ?
