Try using the following property for source directory:
<property name="src.dir" location=""Java Source""/>
I guess that would pass "Java Source" (with the double-quotes) to javac. Let
us know if it works.

Subject: whitespace for javac task
Hi Guys,
I have a white space character in my source directory name. This is
causing problems for my javac task.
Here is the relevant build file snippet:
<project name="dmslite" default="help">
<property name="src.dir" location="Java Source"/>
<property name="build.dir" location="build"/>
<target name="compile">
<echo>compile required java source files...</echo>
<mkdir dir="${build.dir}"/>
<mkdir dir="${build.dir}/classes"/>
<javac debug="on"
classpathref="build.classpath"
fork="true"
memoryInitialSize="128m"
memoryMaximumSize="128m"
srcdir="${src.dir}"
destdir="${build.dir}/classes"/>
<copy todir="${build.dir}/classes">
<fileset dir="${src.dir}" includes="**/*.properties"/>
</copy>
</target>
</project>
here are my results:
C:\xxxxx>ant deploy
Buildfile: build.xml
compile:
[echo] compile required java source files...

BUILD FAILED
file:C:/xxxxx/build.xml:118: Compile failed; see the compiler error output
for details.
Total time: 3 seconds
Ofcourse the simplest solution would be to rename my "Java Source" direct
to something more sensible like "src", - but the project has a certain
amount of inertia, - just wondering if I can get this working without
changing one of the clearcase second-from-root directories...
Can I make the javac ant task not barf on whitespace?
thanks!
