Ant build failed due to dependencies even though they're included.

I'm new to ant and working through putting together a build.xml for my alfresco extensions. The build is failing due to dependencies but I don't understand why.. I have included the required dependencies in the build.xml.I would appreciate another pair of eyes. <project default="package-amp"&

I think you have not added the following in your <path id="class.path"> attribute.


<fileset dir="${alfresco.work.home}/tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/lib" includes="*.jar" />

Can you add it and rebuild ?

It seems are referencing classes in repository ,but they are not there,please check to see if there are any classes below


/local/alfresco-src/4.2.1/alfresco/TAGS/ENTERPRISE/V4.2.1/root/projects/repository/build
‍‍‍

And also make sure classes exists under


/local/alfresco-src/4.2.1/alfresco/TAGS/ENTERPRISE/V4.2.1/root/projects/core/build
/local/alfresco-src/4.2.1/alfresco/TAGS/ENTERPRISE/V4.2.1/root/projects/data-model/build

The "Cannot find symbol" errors generally occur when you try to reference an undeclared variable in your code. A "Cannot find symbol" error means that the compiler cannot do this. Your code appears to be referring to something that the compiler doesn't understand.

When your code is compiled, the compiler needs to work out what each and every identifier in your code means. As the compiler is going through the code it will find something and know what to do with it or not. Your Cannot find symbol error relates to the identifiers and means that Java cannot figure out what the "symbol" means.

The general causes for a Cannot find symbol error are things like:

Incorrect spelling.
Wrong case. Halo is different from halo.
Improper use of acceptable identifier values (letters, numbers, underscore, dollar sign), my-class is not the same as myclass.
No variable declaration or variable is outside of the scope you are referencing it in.
