Description Nikolay Metchev CLA 2003-06-04 08:21:18 EDT
I have a launch configuration which is required to be run which generates some 
code. If that launch configuration isn't run then the project will not compile. 
(The autogenerated files are not in version control). It would be nice to be 
able to say in  the external tool builders section that you want a particular 
launch configuration to run at a certain point in the build cycle.
Comment 1 Darin Swanson CLA 2003-06-05 16:39:43 EDT
In the external tool builders property page you can specify to copy an existing 
configuration to run as an external tool.
Comment 2 Nikolay Metchev CLA 2003-06-05 18:11:06 EDT
yes but you can only copy other EXTERNAL configurations. I want a java launch 
configuration to be run!
Comment 3 Darin Wright CLA 2003-10-01 11:54:04 EDT
Deferred
Comment 4 Nikolay Metchev CLA 2005-01-08 10:48:07 EST
Is this going to be considered for 3.1?
Comment 5 Darin Wright CLA 2005-01-08 20:08:06 EST
This is not on the 3.1 plan.
Comment 6 Adam Kiezun CLA 2005-01-21 16:59:11 EST
I'd like to see that too. I'd like to run my junit tests on build.
Comment 7 Nikolay Metchev CLA 2005-10-24 11:51:28 EDT
any chance this could be considered for 3.2?
Comment 8 Nikolay Metchev CLA 2005-10-25 07:21:38 EDT
There appear to be 2 workarounds for this:
1. The "export ant build" files will create a an ant task with each of your
launch configurations which you can then use in your build system.
2. There is also ant4eclipse which will allow you to launch configurations
(http://ant4eclipse.sourceforge.net/).

Both of the above solutions have problems which still means we can't use it for
our situation.
Comment 9 Darin Wright CLA 2005-10-25 09:11:30 EDT
No committment for 3.2, but re-opening to re-evaluate.
Comment 10 Darin Wright CLA 2005-12-19 11:11:59 EST
Deferred for post 3.2.
Comment 11 Eclipse Webmaster CLA 2009-08-30 02:34:09 EDT
As of now 'LATER' and 'REMIND' resolutions are no longer supported.
Please reopen this bug if it is still valid for you.
