Slice2JavaTask Appears To Be Missing In 3.6

I have just upgraded my RHEL 6 system to Ice 3.6 according to the instructions on the Documentation page. I have attempted to use the Slice2JavaTask in an existing build.xml file but am told that the task is undefined. I am unable to locate the task in any of the jar files in any of the Zeroc-supplied jar files.

    Hi Harry,

    As of Ice 3.6, we've moved the build system integration for Ant, Gradle, Visual Studio, Xcode (etc.) into separate Ice Builders projects.

    Slice2JavaTask is now provided by the Ice Builder for Ant.

    All the best,
    Bernard
  • Okay, thanks. It does not look like the builders are packaged in an RPM. Is this correct?

    Hi Harry,

    We don't provide a rpm for the Ice Builder for Ant. See https://github.com/zeroc-ice/ice-builder-ant#download for download instructions.

    The Ice Builders are extensions for various build system and build environments, and we try to provide the most convenient packaging. For example, the Ice Builder for Visual Studio is available from the Visual Studio Gallery and the Ice Builder for Eclipse is available from the Eclipse Marketplace.

    Best regards,
    Bernard
