Createprocess Error=206, The Filename Or Extension Is Too Long

to comments All things being equal, I like projects that build out-of-the-box. That is, given a clean checkout from revision control, a project should just build without requiring too much customization: setting environment variables, installing third party software, modifying the system path. I'm especially sensitive to this at the moment because I've just finished up five days (actually maybe 30 hours all together) getting one particularly horrible system to build. Along these lines, I added a javadoc task to an Ant build script today and http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3643319/createprocess-error-2-running-javadoc-from-ant tried running it from Eclipse. Just for the record, that procedure is as follows: Open build.xml Right-click the task in the Outline View Select Run As->Ant build. Interestingly enough, this failed with the following error: build.xml:208: Javadoc failed: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "javadoc.exe": CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified A quick Google search reveals several suggestions that the solution is http://blog.darevay.com/2008/12/running-javadoc-ant-task-from-eclipse/ to make sure that javadoc.exe is on the system path.  First, it's a little ridiculous that Ant can't find javadoc from JAVA_HOME when it clearly uses the same mechanism to track down javac. Oh well. Bygones. Second, returning to the idea of builds that "just work", I don't want to modify my system path. What if I have several JDKs installed, used with several different projects simultaneously? So, how do we get javadoc onto the system path without modifying it? Simple, modify the path in Eclipse. This time, run the Ant task with the following procedure: Open build.xml Right-click the task in the Outline View Select Run As->Ant Build … That elipsis at the end is important. This will bring up the Eclipse launch configuration dialog. Give your new launch configuration a name, like "Build " or something and switch to the Environment tab. Here you can specify the environment for Ant. But we don't want to kill the whole system path, just prepend the location of javadoc.exe to it. So click New… and enter Path for the name and the following for the value: ${env_var:JAVA_HOME}/bin

this coming from Ant: Javadoc failed: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "javadoc.exe": CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified https://kaitlynmcdonald.wordpress.com/2011/09/29/javadoc-failed-java-io-ioexception-cannot-run-program-javadoc-exe/ Read this: http://blog.darevay.com/2008/12/running-javadoc-ant-task-from-eclipse/ For someone like me who has never really stepped foot into editing/reading XML, and has never heard of this "Ant" tool within Eclipse - https://vaadin.com/forum#!/thread/183736 it makes fixing the issue pretty straight forward. Even offers a little guide on how to save the settings and changes you've made to a file createprocess error=2 so the next person who tries to run this code won't have to set up Ant's environment.. things. OOC, I'm usually someone who likes to have things done a few days in advance. So far this semester, I've been slacking, and it's catching up with me. I was pretty worried about my OSD 0.1 cannot run program release due later tonight - but after following some steps on Processing's Wiki about tool creation (http://code.google.com/p/processing/wiki/ToolTemplate), I've gotta say.. wow. Once I had finished that tutorial and it was working (without even really understanding what was going on. Darn XML), it was like magic. A tool was created just like that. I copied the results over to p5's tool folder, and ran the IDE. Guess what? The tool was there in the menu, working as expected. What just happened? I don't even. Could it be any simpler? I'm near speechless due to how easy that was (Eclipse issues aside). I don't even know what to say, but that was awesome. Now that I've got a template to work off of, I'm going to go ahead and make my tool. I'm still in shock. Hats off. Share this:TwitterFacebookLike this:Like Loading...
