You may be wondering why the taskdef for the schema update tool is inside our schema target, rather than at the top of the build file, next to the one for hbm2java. Well, I wanted it up there too, but I ran into a snag that's worth explaining. I got strange error messages the first time I tried to build the schema target, complaining there was no hibernate.properties on the class path and our compiled Track class couldn't be found. When I ran it again, it worked. Some detective work using ant -verbose revealed that if the classes directory didn't exist when the taskdef was encountered, Ant helpfully removed it from the class path. Since a taskdef can't have its own dependencies, the solution is to move it into the schema target, giving it the benefit of that target's dependencies, ensuring the classes directory exists by the time the taskdef is processed.
也許你會奇怪,為何找了schema更新工具的taskdef會在schema的target中進行定義,而不是在build文件的頂部,緊接著hbm2java進行定義。剛開始我也是那樣想的,這里我需要解釋一下這里的問題。當第一次構建schema時,我得到了許多莫名奇妙的錯誤,報錯信息是:在classpath中找不到hibernate.properties和Track類。但是再次構建的時候,就可以了。當使用命令“ant -verbose”時,你就可以發現其中的細節之所在。如果在ant解析到taskdef時,build文件中所使用的class目錄并不存在,那么ant就會自己將此目錄從classpath中移除。但是taskdef又無法定義自己的dependencies,因此這里不得不將其移入到schema target中,這樣也就可以使用到target的dependencies,保證在ant處理taskdef的時候,class目錄必然已經存在。
