  • 0

I have an ant build script with a fairly complex <exec> command with lots of <arg> tags that I’m trying to troubleshoot. I was wondering if it is possible to view the entire command line after ant has constructed it; either in the eclipse debugger or maybe by dumping it to a file.

Here’s what I’m dealing with:

<exec executable='"@{sdk}/bin/mxmlc.exe"' failonerror="true" >
                <arg line='-load-config "@{sdk}/frameworks/flex-config.xml"'/>

                <!-- Flex Build Path -->
                <!-- Source path -->
                <!-- Main source folder: -->
                <arg line='-compiler.source-path "@{project-dir}/src"'/>
                <!-- Additional source folders outside of the main source folder: -->
                <arg line='-compiler.source-path "@{project-dir}/inc/swf"'/>
                <arg line='-compiler.source-path "@{project-dir}/inc/images"'/>

                <!-- Output folder: -->
                <arg line='-output "@{output}"'/>

                <!-- Library path -->
                <!-- Build path libraries: -->
                <arg line='-compiler.library-path "@{libs}"'/>

This is the error I’m getting:

    ant -v usually does the trick but you may find you have a lot of output to look through.
