JOnAS has the following in its conformance tests' build.xml" <property environment="myenv" /> Running with -verbose you see that this line is picked up but then everything in the environment is subsequently ignored: [property] Loading Environment myenv. Override ignored for property myenv.GDMSESSION Override ignored for property myenv.LESSOPEN Override ignored for property myenv.HISTSIZE Override ignored for property myenv.SSH_AGENT_PID ...etc Printing out any of the myenv things shows that they are all set to the empty string. They're present, in that attempting to access something not in the environment causes "Property ${myenv.FOO} has not been set" to be printed out and the result of the expansion will be literally "${myenv.FOO}". Anyway, in same build.xml a classpath is built with the following entry: <pathelement path="${myenv.CLASSPATH}" /> At this point ${myenv.CLASSPATH} expands to an empty string so the things that should be added to the classpath aren't and the build subsequently fails. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ant-1.6.2-3jpp_14fc jonas-4.3.3-1jpp_12fc libgcj-4.0.1-14 (+ classloader deadlock patches)
This build.xml is fine, so I guess it's a nesting thing: <project> <property environment="myenv" /> <echo message="myenv.USER is ${myenv.USER}" /> </project>
Based on the date this bug was created, it appears to have been reported against rawhide during the development of a Fedora release that is no longer maintained. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are flagging all of the open bugs for releases which are no longer maintained. If this bug remains in NEEDINFO thirty (30) days from now, we will automatically close it. If you can reproduce this bug in a maintained Fedora version (7, 8, or rawhide), please change this bug to the respective version and change the status to ASSIGNED. (If you're unable to change the bug's version or status, add a comment to the bug and someone will change it for you.) Thanks for your help, and we apologize again that we haven't handled these issues to this point. The process we're following is outlined here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/F9CleanUp We will be following the process here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping to ensure this doesn't happen again.
This bug has been in NEEDINFO for more than 30 days since feedback was first requested. As a result we are closing it. If you can reproduce this bug in the future against a maintained Fedora version please feel free to reopen it against that version.
