Re: Ant illegalArgumentException while trying to build automatic translations ("build-lang")

Tanguy,

I am completely unfamiliar with this package you are calling.

But it looks like you are on a Windows machine and my guess is, the param you are handing in for the directory is being presented literally to the application - which is likely attempting to escape the characters vs utilizing them as directory separators.

You may want to try this to see if it gets you passed your IllegalArgumentException:  simply use ${file.separator} vs the forward slash.  Something like this:

<project name="product-registration-TT-portlet" basedir="." default="deploy">
    <import file="../build-common-portlet.xml" />
    <target name="build-lang">
        <antcall target="build-lang-cmd">
            <param name="lang.dir" value="docroot${file.separator}WEB-INF${file.separator}src${file.separator}content" />
            <param name="lang.file" value="Language" />
            <param name="lang.translate" value="true" />
        </antcall>
    target>
</project>

Or if you don't like that you can store as a property:

<project name="product-registration-TT-portlet" basedir="." default="deploy">
    <import file="../build-common-portlet.xml" />
    <target name="build-lang">
        <property name="DIR" value="docroot${file.separator}WEB-INF${file.separator}src${file.separator}content"/>

        <antcall target="build-lang-cmd">
            <param name="lang.dir" value=${DIR}" />
            <param name="lang.file" value="Language" />
            <param name="lang.translate" value="true" />
        </antcall>
    target>
</project>

I'm not sure it will fix your problem - but its a start.

I did a preliminary google and found the code here:  http://grepcode.com/file/repo1.maven.org/maven2/com.liferay.portal/portal-impl/6.0.5/com/liferay/portal/tools/LangBuilder.java

Again - I don't know this code base whatsoever, but what's the download site for this?  Be easier to help if I can test against the library.
