RE: [platform-ant-dev] how to use Ant correctly
|
Thanks
for the response. I looked at the documentation and couldn't really find out how
to do what I want. So, let me give you an example of what I want
to do:
I want
download/checkout a version of <insert favorite open-source tool> from
jakarta/sourceforge/codehaus/java.net etc.
I then
want to import/open/? the code/build/external-jars into Eclipse (for all the
cool stuff).
I then
want Eclipse to execute the build.xml that comes with the
project.
I
don't want it to copy the source into a workspace, I just want it to work with
the structure I get from the project.
I can't believe that Eclipse is incapable of
working on a project with a predefined
directory structure and build system. If it can, I need some help setting it up
to do that.
Thanks,
Michael

Hmmm... better not mention that to the people on
java.net/codehaus/sourceforge... hehe.
I don't think everyone will agree
with that. In my view having your project dependent on hand-crafted build
scripts is a bad thing :) In any
case, you can use Eclipse and delegate all the building to Ant. See Help

External tools tutorial > Use cases for Ant in Eclipse > Ant buildfiles as
project builders.

to use Ant correctly |

I think everyone would agree that having your project dependent upon
Eclipse is a bad thing.
However, I want to use Eclipse to edit my code and
build the project on my machine.
So, how do I set up Eclipse so it will use my
build.xml file? I tried building a project from a build.xml file, but I have
several javac commands and it wants me to pick one?
I can't believe that Eclipse is so restrictive, so,
what am I doing wrong?
Any tutorials?
Thanks,
Michael _______________________________________________
