thanks anyhow, I'll keep scratching my head.

Try using the following property for source directory:
    <property name="src.dir" location="&quot;Java Source&quot;"/>

I guess that would pass "Java Source" (with the double-quotes) to javac. 
Let
us know if it works.

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:

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!

James Head
