Re: [higgins-dev] RE: IdAS automated build target

Hi Paul,

FYI...you can also run the PDE ant generator and builder from headless Eclipse.  We've found that in general this is a better path than exporting build.xml as then keeping things in synch becomes very hard to manage.

Jim,

Once you have defined an Eclipse plug-in in the IDE’s GUI, it generates and consumes Ant scripts internally to do its building. With one click you can also export the otherwise hidden build.xml, but that starts to defeat the whole IDE/GUI thing.

Yes, I recall similar goals.

 

The ant script  has these targets:

clean

compile

jar

javadoc

 

I would prefer if we could work it out so we retain the functionality of the ant script while also providing the eclipse plugin target.  In my mind, it would be ideal if this could be just another ant target.  Does anyone know if there's an ant task for building eclipse plugins?

Valery and Jim,

My recollection of last Thursday's conversation is that we want to start off
building two different targets for IdAS (not including javadoc and testing):

- vanilla JAR (Jim already has the Ant script for this)
- Eclipse plug-in

Is that right?
