ant making extra folder for me

[shawn peter]

i wrote a ant script for compile all java classes in src/test and paste them to the src/classes folder.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>


<project name="junit" default="default">
   
	<property name="src.dir" location="src"/>
	<property name="src.test.dir" location="${src.dir}/test"/>
	<property name="src.class.dir" location="${src.dir}/classes"/>
	
  
    <target name="default"  description="--> description">
        <javac destdir="${src.class.dir}" srcdir="${src.test.dir}" classpath="src"></javac>
    </target>
   

</project>

it is doing all things.but it is making another directory test at classes directory.
why is that .where is the error?

The problem is that you set srcdir incorrectly - you set it to the test directory, which is causing that directory to be created. In addition, for this simple example you do not need to set classpath - the compiler assumes that your source directory is in the classpath. Thus the javac task should read:

<javac destdir="${src.class.dir}" srcdir="${src.dir}" />
