When I tried to compile build.xml file, below error is hitting:

There is a compile error that occurred earlier during the build. Look for that error in the same output log file and try to fix it.

To see compiled error in log use below given command:
d:yourdirectory of checkout>ant clean deploy>log.txt
It will create a complete log in your check out directory. So now you can check actual errors there.

The following solution worked out good for me:
1) Define the following class:
package somepackage;
import org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Javac;
import org.apache.tools.ant.types.Commandline;
import org.eclipse.jdt.core.JDTCompilerAdapter;
public class JDTCompiler15 extends JDTCompilerAdapter {
@Override
public void setJavac(Javac attributes) {
if (attributes.getTarget() == null) {
attributes.setTarget("1.6");
}
if (attributes.getSource() == null) {
attributes.setSource("1.6");
}
super.setJavac(attributes);
}
// THIS METHOD IS RESPONSIBLE FOR PRINGTING THE ERRORS/WARNING.
@Override
protected void logAndAddFilesToCompile(Commandline cmd) {
super.logAndAddFilesToCompile(cmd);
System.err.println(cmd.toString());
}
}
2) Add the following VM parameter: -Dbuild.compiler=somepackage.JDTCompiler15

If you are using Weblogic to generate the client, you must add the «weblogic.jar» from the installation directory into the Additional Classpath, so Ant will know where the Ant.tools…. exist.
I got the same issue and I am trying to solve this problem not adding it as additional classpath since I copy all jars into my project, but still getting this error.

In my case, there was an unused import statement in a class whose package cannot be found elsewhere but was copied over because I copied the class from another project of mine. Be it was listed in the error log as «package not found» even if the error log itself wasn’t clear-cut. I had to search through all the warnings the log generated in my case.

So where is the «compiler error

output»? And/Or how do I run with --stacktrace

Answer :- 1
One thing you can do is
deactivate the external build. To do so click on «compiler settings
icon» in the «Messages Make» panel that appears when you have an
error. You can also open the compiler settings by going to File -> Settings
-> Compiler.
Uncheck «Use External
build»
And you will see the
errors in the console
Answer :2
For Android Studio 3.1,
select the icon below the Build one in the Build window.
By Android Studio 3.3 (possibly in 3.2.1), the icon has
changed, though the location is the same:
The build window should open when you run a build action
(e.g. from the Build menu). If you don’t see it, you can try the
«Build» button along the bottom of the window (also visible in the
above screenshots), or through the menus View → Tool Windows → Build.
Answer :3
In my case i
had a findViewById reference to a view i had deleted in xml
if you are
running AS 3.1 and above:
- go to Settings > Build,
Execution and Deployment > compiler - add —stacktrace to the command
line options, click apply and ok - At the bottom of AS click on
Console/Build(If you use the stable version 3.1.2 and above) expand the
panel and run your app again.
you should see
the full stacktrace in the expanded view and the specific error.
Working on some important java project with Java code involved, and just when you hit that Build hammer icon, you get this:
Error:Execution failed for task ':app:compileDebugJavaWithJavac'. > Compilation failed; see the compiler error output for details. * What went wrong: Execution failed for task ':app:compileDebugJavaWithJavac'. > Compilation failed; see the compiler error output for details.
Figure 1: The Error
Well, let’s fix this error and get you up and working in no time, just follow the below methods chronologically and it will be a breeze!
Method: #1 Try updating your buildToolsVersion to “23.0.1” as follows
GeekTip: Please download the buildTools for this version with SDKManager as a hint if you haven’t already.
and then just change these in your build.gradle file
compileSdkVersion 23 buildToolsVersion "23.0.1"
then sync the Gradle file and rebuild!
Method: #2 A wrong Java Home Location or Config
Sometimes, it might be the slightest error in your $JAVA_HOME configuration which is tabbing this error, just fix it like this:
export JAVA_HOME="/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_65.jdk/Contents/Home"
GeekTip: Make Change this in the .bash profile
Method: #3 Fixing those extra .jar dependencies
Double-check the build of your app. gradle. It adds an extra.jar file as a dependency that didn’t exist in your project. As a result, remove that and you’re back on track!
Method: #4 For the newer versions of Android Studio
If you happen to be running the latest version of Android Studio or the Canary Flavor of the IDE then maybe the issue is there with the certain sdkVersions of your project. Change it this way:
Navigate to File > Project Structure
then
change the compileSdkVersion to any value (like 24) which works with your project like
compileSdkVersion 24
Method: #5 If you’re rocking the RETROLAMBDA Build Script
If you’re using the retrolambda build script then you may change its configuration in the build.gradle and your error might be resolved
retrolambda { jdk System.getenv("JAVA_HOME") oldJdk System.getenv("JAVA7_HOME") javaVersion JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8 }
GeekTip: You can also establish a new environment variable named JAVA8 HOME that points to the correct JDK location.
That’s it if you followed the methods given in this article you would’ve resolved this issue and would be back on the track with that project building perfectly as intended!
