I have a task to generate language resources using an in-house jar
task generateResources(dependsOn: 'cleanResources', type: JavaExec){
main = 'com.i18n.JavaCodeGenerator'
classpath = files('ext/java/lib/i18neditor.jar')
args '-basename Resources', '-root src/resources/com', '-output build.output/resources', '-longshort', '-fudd',
'-egg CPC', '-actionclass com.utility.ActionInfo', '-iconclass com.utility.IconStrip', '-public'
maxHeapSize = '1024m'
}
When I run the gradle task I get an error generated by the code generator indicating that a required option (-basename) is invalid
When I add -info I can see the args appear to have been added to the command:
Starting process 'command 'C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_27\bin\java.exe''. Working directory: C:\source_code4_0 Command: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_27\bin\java.exe -Xmx1024m -Dfile.encoding=windows-1252 -cp C:\source_code4_0\ext\java\lib\i18neditor.jar com.i18n.JavaCodeGenerator -basename Resources -root src/resources/com -output build.output/resources -longshort -fudd -egg CPC -actionclass com.utility.ActionInfo -iconclass com.utility.IconStrip -public
What I find unusual is that if I run the java command generated, it runs without error.
So I’m a bit confused as to what I’ve done wrong.
