 <h1><a name="feedback">Feedback</a> and Troubleshooting</h1>
 <p>If things do not work, especially simple things like <tt>ant -version</tt>, 
  then something is wrong with your configuration. Before filing bug reports and 
  emailing all the ant mailing lists</p>
 <ol>
  <li>Check your environment variables. Are ANT_HOME and JAVA_HOME correct? If 
    they have quotes or trailing slashes, remove them.</li>
  <li>Unset CLASSPATH; if that is wrong things go horribly wrong. Ant does not 
    need the CLASSPATH variable defined to anything to work.</li>
  <li>Make sure there are no versions of crimson.jar or other XML parsers in JRE/ext</li>
  <li>Is your path correct? is Ant on it? What about JDK/bin? have you tested 
    this? If you are using Jikes, is it on the path? A createProcess error (especially 
    with ID=2 on windows) usually means executable not found on the path.</li>
  <li>Which version of ant are you running? Other applications distribute a copy 
    -it may be being picked up by accident.</li>
  <li>If a task is failing to run is optional.jar in ANT_HOME/lib? Are there any 
    libraries which it depends on missing?</li>
  <li>If a task doesn't do what you expect, run <tt>ant -verbose</tt> or <tt>ant 
    -debug</tt> to see what is happening</li>
 </ol>
 <p>If you can't fix your problem, start with the <a href="http://jakarta.apache.org/site/mail.html" target="_top">Ant 
  User Mailing List</a> . These are other ant users who will help you learn to 
  use ant. If they cannot fix it then someone may suggest filing a bug report, 
  which will escalate the issue. Remember of course, that support, like all open 
  source development tasks, is voluntary. If you haven't invested time in helping 
  yourself by following the steps above, it is unlikely that anyone will invest 
  the time in helping you. </p>
 <p>Also, if you don't understand something, the <a href="http://jakarta.apache.org/site/mail.html" target="_top">Ant 
  User Mailing List</a> is the place to ask questions. Not the developer list, 
  nor the individuals whose names appears in the source and documentation. If 
  they answered all such emails, nobody would have any time to improve ant. </p>

 <h1>Platform Issues</h1>


 <h2>Unix</h2>

 <ul>
 <li> You should use a GNU version of <tt>tar</tt> to untar the ant source tree,
 if you have downloaded this as a tar file.
 </li>
 <li> Ant does not preserve file permissions when a file is copied, moved or 
 archived. Use <tt>&lt;chmod&gt;</tt> to set permissions, and when creating a 
 tar archive, use the <tt>mode</tt> attribute of <tt>&lt;tarfileset&gt;</tt>
 to set the permissions in the tar file.
 </li>
 <li> Ant is not symbolic link aware in moves, deletes and when recursing down a tree
 of directories to build up a list of files. Unexpected things can happen.
 </ul>

 <h2>Microsoft Windows</h2>

 Windows 9x (win95, win98, win98SE and winME) has a batch file system which
 does not work fully with long file names, so we recommend that ant and the JDK
 are installed into directories without spaces, and with 8.3 filenames. 
 The Perl and Python launcher scripts do not suffer from this limitation.

 <p>
 All versions of windows are usually case insensitive, although mounted 
 file systems (Unix drives, Clearcase views) can be case sensitive underneath,
 confusing patternsets. 

 <p>
 Ant can often not delete a directory which is open in an Explorer window. 
 There is nothing we can do about this short of spawning a program to kill
 the shell before deleting directories.  

 <h2>Apple MacOS X</h2>

 MacOS X is the first of the Apple platforms that Ant supports completely;
 it is treated like any other Unix. 

 <h2>Novell Netware</h2>

 <h2>Other platforms</h2>
 Support for other platforms is not guaranteed to be complete, as certain 
 techniques to hide platform details from build files need to be written and
 tested on every particular platform. Contributions in this area are welcome.
