ANT build file for the Quickstart example

[Paul Sandoz]

Hi Deepak,

The error indicates you are not using a version of OpenJDK Jigsaw to compile. See the "executable" attribute of the javac task.

However, there is a more fundamental issue using the javac ant task since it knows nothing about the new javac command line options. Thus it will likely confuse OpenJDK Jigsaw javac by including the "-classpath" option in addition to the '-modulepath" option explicitly added (which needs to be <compilerarg line="-modulepath modules" />)

This is why i have been using special ant macros until the ant tasks are modified.

See the examples, that are ant-based, linked from:
