Re: [higgins-dev] eclipse WTP bugs

Eclipse isn't particularly nice when one wants to have the option of building inside and outside of Eclipse.  I'm always building with ant, and deploying war files. I'm not using the WST or WTP (whatever it's called) plugin because I couldn't get it to install into Eclipse.
 
I don't know what that stuff at the top is about (bad site.xml), but line 138 looks bad:
 
"The file does not exist for the external tool named IdAS Ant Builder."
 
Do you have a file like this?
<path to project>org.eclipse.higgins.idas/.externalToolBuilders/IdAS Ant Builder.launch
 
If not, you need it. It should come down with the rest of the files.  If you do have it, then maybe there's a problem with a file named inside of that file.  There's only one that I can see:
<stringAttribute key="org.eclipse.ui.externaltools.ATTR_LOCATION" value="${project_loc}/build.xml"/>
 
This looks familiar.  Mike was telling me he was getting some error saying that ${project_loc} was undefined in his Eclipse environment.
 
Am I falsely assuming that all Eclipse installations have ${project_loc} set?  If you got this far, try this in Eclipse:
 
Go to Project Properties for org.eclipse.higgins.idas, Click on "builders", then edit "IdAS Ant Builder".  On the Main tab, click any of the "Variables" buttons and see if there's a project_loc variable.  If not (it would be interesting to know why not), try to create a new one (Edit Variables, New, name it project_loc and enter the path to the root of your org.eclipse.higgins.idas project.
 
I'm interested in hearing which path you ended up going down and if anything worked.

Hi Jim,

I attached the .log, the exception happening is the last one one the file,
from the jfacet plugin. It seems to come from a J2EE class.
FYI: Before "bumping" on this bug I was already using your build env, with
variables pointing to dependency libs, it was working without problem.
Are you always deploying using .war files ?

Thanks for the help !
