I'm trying to setup my environment to contribute to Kotlin by following Yoshinori Isogai's talk of last KotlinConf, but I'm hitting a wall when running the command ant -f update_dependencies.xml. I get an error saying:

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM warning: ignoring option MaxPermSize=512m; support was removed in 8.0
Buildfile: update_dependencies.xml does not exist!
Build failed

Any tips?

is the file actally there?

Where is it supposed to be?

ant -f update_dependencies.xml
If you are running command like that, I presume then intent is for the file to be in the current folder. But in general it’s probably somewhere in the codebase you’ve checked out (my bet is it’s either top level or some build related subfolder). But search is your friend

A lot of time has passed since that talk, we do not use ant to build kotlin anymore. Please refer to the ReadMe on how to build Kotlin: https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin#build-environment-requirements and ask any questions you have in #kontributors channel
