Rosjava fails to build when custom messages are listed as a dependency

Hello,

Currently, I have a package containing all of my custom messages called "OryxMessages". This builds fine, and other packages can use these messages. A few weeks ago, my rosjava package had no problem generating the proper files for these messages building. Today, however, I removed 1 of the messages from that package and rebuilt it. Everything works fine, except now my rosjava package won't build, giving me the following error:

compile:
      [javac] Compiling 4 source files to /home/oryx/.ros/rosjava/build/OryxMessages
      [javac] javac: invalid flag: -g:${debuglevel}
      [javac] Usage: javac <options> <source files>
      [javac] use -help for a list of possible options

  BUILD FAILED
  /home/oryx/ros_workspace/rosjava_core/rosjava_bootstrap/scripts/build-msg.xml:72: Compile failed; see the compiler error output for details.

  Traceback (most recent call last):

I am not sure what could be causing it. To verify that it wasn't a code problem, I removed all dependencies except rosjava and built it. Like expected, it built fine. When I added in OryxMessages as a dependency, it once again failed to compile. Again, I am confused at what happened because it was working before I removed the one message.

Thank you,

-Joseph Amato

Try running the logged ant command yourself and inspect the error message for debugging clues. Clearing out .ros/rosjava is also a good step.

If you can put together a small example project that reproduces this issue reliably, please post an issue: http://code.google.com/p/rosjava/issues/list

The rosjava build system isn't particularly robust. Try clearing out your rosjava build directory ( rm -r ~/.ros/rosjava ) and rebuilding.

Unfortunately, clearing out the directory does not help. In fact, after deleting the ~/.ros/rosjava directory, the included rosjava pubsub tutorial no longer builds with the same error. It seems as though a recent update causes the build process to fail if messages have not already been generated.
