In order to run Ant Xdoclet task, I need to find tools.jar but Mac OS X 10.2.8 does not come with it.
It is not in the /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Home/lib. A JDK update package from Apple may have it but it does not install. It complains that I have not installed a Developer SDK or something.
Is there a package I can install to put tools.jar on the system? Or, how do I get the Developer SDK. I feel that JSDK is an essential part of the Java if Apple wants Mac OS to be regarded a developer machine.
Thanks.
It states that tools.jar does not exist and scripts that look for this file to find the SDK tools need to be rewritten.
Then, how can I run Xdoclet on Mac? Is tools.jar merely requesting each “tool” to run when it is called from XDoclet? Is there any solution for this???
Yoichi,
Are you having a specific problem? The reason I ask is that I run on a Powerbook and haven’t seen any problems running Xdoclet or any of the application servers I’ve tested, and all of them require classes that are normally shipped in tools.jar. While Apple did package their support differently than most, I haven’t seen it being problematic. Specifically, what are you trying to do and what is happening?
Yoichi,
I second Scott’s question and his statement about not having problems running XDoclet. We are an all-Mac OS X development shop and run Eclipse both with and without MyEclipse, run a build and testing environment using Ant without any IDE, and sanity test the build system and releases on Windows and various Linux flavors. We have no problems getting XDoclet to run on any of these platforms.
There is no need for the specific file named tools.jar found in Sun’s default packaging in the SDK as the classes are found in different locations in Apple’s packaging.
What specific problems do you have when trying to run XDoclet?
