The comment facility did not allow me to include XML elements…

I had to include an additional sleep call.

Thanks a lot for your tip, especially for the link to the commit.

I had to include an additional

between the touch and the javac command. This was neccessary because my target directory was created just before calling touch. Therefore the lastmodified value of the target directory and my package-info.java file where identical. The javac-task does not compare using ‘>=’, but ‘>’.

Yep you are right. Post fixed.

Thanx for the tip but I can not see any difference between the two ant tasks… I suppose it should be the touch but, to be confirmed please.

Thanks, I struggled to find this for 1.5 days.

Thanks for this. I spent 1.5 days trying to work out what was going wrong. I was using Netbeans to generate the wsit configuration and classes, then switching over to eclipse and using ant to build my application.

Thanks Stefano!
You saved my day. I had the same problem as Jeff with my jaxb-ri generated schema and it took me a couple of hours to figure out that package-info.class had not been compiled. Your post explained well why that happened.

Me too, after upgrading eclipse from Ganymede to Galileo.
why can’t they just compile the package-info anyway?
Thanks a million.

I got bit by this one just yesterday too, but from a slightly different angle. I am using JAXB-annotated classes (and invoking schemagen from ant). When I started building with Ant 1.7.1 instead of 1.7.0, the JAXB deserialization of my XML in the code was failing even though I had not touched any of the code. Debugging showed that somehow only the local element names for the annotated classes were populated (no namespace URIs). It took me several hours to figure out that Ant had not been compiling the package-info classes into my jar, which are needed to get the namespace URIs associated with the packages.
