[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-11156) replace <exec executable="wget"> w/ Ant 1.8's <get> in build/aggregate/build.xml#collect.zips

replace <exec executable="wget"> w/ Ant 1.8's <get> in build/aggregate/build.xml#collect.zips --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBIDE-11156 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-11156 Project: Tools (JBoss Tools) Issue Type: Bug Components: Build/Releng Affects Versions: 3.3.0.Beta2 Reporter: Nick Boldt Assignee: Nick Boldt Fix For: 3.3.0.Beta2 In /build/aggregate/build.xml, the <target name="collect.zips"/> uses <exec executable="wget"> instead of <get> to fetch zips and metadata from download.jboss.org. Given this script was developed before Ant 1.8, I believe the reasons for this were: a) --tries=3 allows multiple attempts to get the same file b) return property (wget.return) could be checked for success (0 = good, non-zero = fail), and simply continue (rather than failing) if the file couldn't be loaded With Ant 1.8.0: a) retries="3" allows multiple attempts to get the same file (on by default) b) ignoreerrors="true" should permit a failed download to not fail the script Switching from Ant 1.7 + <exec executable="wget"> to Ant 1.8 and <get> would make this script work regardless of platform on which it's run (eg., work on Windows and Mac).
