+ | install.html has errors around the dist target |
+ +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+ | Bug #: 3016 Product: Ant |
+ | Status: NEW Version: Nightly build |
+ | Resolution: Platform: All |
+ | Severity: Minor OS/Version: All |
+ | Priority: Other Component: Documentation |
+ +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+ | Assigned To: ant-dev@jakarta.apache.org |
+ | Reported By: tpv@spamcop.net |
+ | CC list: Cc: |

+ | URL: |
+ +============================================================================+
+ | DESCRIPTION |
+ In install.html it says:
+
+ Your are now ready to build Ant:
+
+ build -Ddist.dir=<directory_to_contain_Ant_distribution> dist (Windows)
+
+ build.sh -Ddist.dir=<directory_to_contain_Ant_distribution> dist (Unix)
+
+ This will create a binary distribution of Ant in the directory you specified.
+
+ This is not the case.
+ The dist target does an antcall and redefines "dist.dir" to the value
+ of "dist.name", so doing
+ build.sh -Ddist.dir="../dist" dist
+ still creates a dist in ./jakarta-ant-1.4alpha
+
+ But the default target is dist-lite, and it DOES honour the dist.dir setting.
+
+ I'm not sure if the bug really is in the docs, because none of that actually
+ makes much sense to me, but I guess someone had a reason to set it up this way.
