如何将NetBeans ant构建移植到构建服务器（Atlassian Bamboo）

Question

I'd like to have my NetBeans project build in bamboo. Most of it seems to be working but I'm not able to launch my project like I can when I build in NetBeans.

When I build in netbeans it (by the default ant build) sticks my dependent libraries into a directory called dist/lib/commons-math3-3.6.1.jar and my jar is created in: dist/MyJar.jar. I can run my jar by typing

java -jar MyJar.jar

and it will find my dependent libraries. However when I build in bamboo there is one thing different that I noticed which is my libraries did not get copied to dist/lib/. but since they are in the root of my project its not a problem i just go ahead and recopy them from my /libs/ to /dist/lib/ and then i try the "java -jar MyJar.jar" command but i get this error:

james@build.mycompany.com:~dist/$ java -jar MyJar.jar

Any thoughts or advise from someone with knowledge in ant and atlassian bamboo is greatly appreciated.

I should mention that the md5sum is different from the working jar and the one built with bamboo.

I use the command: ant clean jar to build from command line

UPDATE 8-04-2017

I noticed that on bamboo I get this:

build   04-Aug-2017 14:02:51    -do-jar-jar:
build   04-Aug-2017 14:02:51    [j2seproject1:jar] Building jar: /home/filtec/bamboo-home/xml-data/build-dir/AUR-ATP-JOB1/dist/auratec-helper.jar
build   04-Aug-2017 14:02:51         [echo] To run this application from the command line without Ant, try:
build   04-Aug-2017 14:02:51         [echo] /home/filtec/jdk1.8.0_65/jre/bin/java -cp /home/filtec/bamboo-home/xml-data/build-dir/AUR-ATP-JOB1/libs/jfreechart-1.0.19.jar:/home/filtec/bamboo-home/xml-data/build-dir/AUR-ATP-JOB1/libs/jcommon-1.0.23.jar:/home/filtec/bamboo-home/xml-data/build-dir/AUR-ATP-JOB1/libs/commons-math3-3.6.1.jar:/home/filtec/bamboo-home/xml-data/build-dir/AUR-ATP-JOB1/libs/jSerialComm-1.3.11.jar:/home/filtec/bamboo-home/xml-data/build-dir/AUR-ATP-JOB1/dist/auratec-helper.jar filtec.auratec.MainFrame

but in NetBeans I get this output:

Building jar: /home/james/NetBeansProjects/auratec-helper/dist/auratec-helper.jar
To run this application from the command line without Ant, try:
java -jar "/home/james/NetBeansProjects/auratec-helper/dist/auratec-helper.jar"

So I guess my new updated question is why is the build on the bamboo server different in behavior from on my workstation. What are the dependent jars not copied and why am i able to use the -jar option to run the files where as on the build server i need to use vanilla java to run when building from an ant script on the bamboo server.

Answer 1

This was a pain to figure out. Basically the copylibstask.jar needed to be available to ant on bamboo but because NetBeans is not installed on the build server we need to reference it manually. I've placed a copy into /libs/org-netbeans-modules-java-j2seproject-copylibstask.jar and am referencing it in the project.properties file.

# this is needed for the ant build
libs.CopyLibs.classpath=libs/org-netbeans-modules-java-j2seproject-copylibstask.jar

The libraries are now copying and the jar is executable again.
