I’m trying to make a buildfile for a java class with a main method which uses command line arguments. But the run-target of the buildfile isn’t able to find the classe even though the path should be correct.

This is the code of the buildfile:

<project name = "." default = "run" basedir =".">
    <description>
        BuildFile for APPDrawEvent.java
    </description>
    <property name = "build.dir" location = "./build"/>
    <property name = "src.dir" location = "./src"/>
    <property name = "doc.dir" location ="./documentation"/>
    <property name = "file" location ="AppDrawEvent"/>

    <target name="init">
        <mkdir dir="${build.dir}"/>
        <mkdir dir = "${doc.dir}"/>
    </target>

    <target name ="compile"  depends = "init">
        <javac srcdir = "${src.dir}"
            destdir = "${build.dir}"
            includeantruntime = "false"/>
    </target>

    <target name = "document" depends = "compile">
        <javadoc destdir = "${doc.dir}">
            <fileset dir = "${src.dir}" />
        </javadoc>
           
    </target>

    <target name="run" depends="compile, input-runargs" description="run the project">
    <java sourcefile="${build.dir}/AppDrawEvent" fork = "true">
         <arg line="${args}"/>
     </java>
    </target>

    <target name="input-runargs" unless="args" description="prompts for command line arguments if necessary">
        <input addProperty="args" message="Type the desired command line arguments: "/>
    </target>
</project>

The AppDrawEvent class is in the ./build directory which can be found in the directory the buildfile is located in.

All the other targets except the run-target are executing as they should be. The directory path should also be correct and the files are compilated into the build-directory, so I’m at a loss why my buildfile doesn’t find the class.
