RE: [platform-ant-dev] Run Ant outside of Launch Configurations?
|
Thanks, Darin.
This
is getting me further along the launch configuration path, but, perhaps, not
closer to my goal.
Here
is my goal: I would like to run Ant within Eclipse so that the output can go to
the Eclipse console, but that the Ant buildfile may be located anywhere - just
like invoking Ant with the '-f' argument.
In
Eclipse 2.0 this was accomplished easily using the AntRunner and setting the
buildfile to an arbitrary string and the logger class to
'org.eclipse.ui.externaltools.internal.ui.ant.AntBuildLogger'.
In
Eclipse 2.1 the AntRunner is still there but the AntBuildLogger is not. I
understand it is in an 'internal' package marking it as subject to
change/removal, but I can't seem to find a replacement.
Q: Is
there a replacement to AntBuildLogger that I may have
overlooked?
So my
simple goal is to run AntRunner over an aribitrary buildfile (in the workspace
or outside of it) passing it a logger class name that will output the logs into
the Eclipse console.
I
started looking at the AntLaunchShortcut class again in an 'internal' package.
Now I'm down the rabbit hole of working with Launch Configurations. I found that
the LaunchConfiguration requires an IFile object which is only valid under the
workspace (references outside the workspace return null).
Q: Is
there any, simple, middle ground between the Eclipse 2.0 AntBuildLogger and
the Eclipse 2.1 AntLaunchShortcut/LaunchConfigurations? Alternatively, is there
documentation on how to migrate from AntRunner/AntBuildLogger to
LaunchConfigurations?
I'm
also not well versed with all the developments between Eclipse 2.0 and Eclipse
2.1. If there are pieces of documentation that describe these changes at a
higher level, then I think I can work from them back down to my specific
example.
Thanks
for your help.

If this isn't the
appropriate list, the recommended list to post to would be greatly
appreciated.
Platform-ant-dev,
Is it possible to run Ant
outside of the launch configuration mechanism with Eclipse 2.1.1 or greater? I
would like to use Ant run run a batch job, initiated from an Eclipse plugin,
capturing the output to the Ant console view, but not have the invocation
referenceable in the Launch Configurations window.
Thanks
for your feedback.
