| [pde-build-dev] Headless build fails ... silently |
Hello folks, after successfully exporting plug-ins manually, and saving the export as an ant script I would like to do it automatically, as part of a batch operation. Alas, this fails silently, without any problem notification. Is it a bug? Am I missing something. Here are the details: - Using eclipse 3.1.0 Release on Linux (SuSE 10.0, Java 1.4.2_06) - I picked an arbitrary plug-in to export. In my case it's from the CDT project. - Manual export works well, I also create an ant script, which is attached. - Running the ant script as external tool works well, output is simply: ================================ Buildfile: /home/pn3484/ws-ant-debug/org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.ui/build-org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.ui.xml plugin_export: BUILD SUCCESSFUL Total time: 1 second ================================ The output contains a lie, however: All the text above comes to the console rather quickly and then the launch continues to run in the background for another 30 seconds or so. But the build results are OK. - Now I want to run the build headless so that no more manual interaction will be necessary. I do this by starting eclipse specifying -application org.eclipse.pde.build.Build and some other parameters (details in attached launch configuration) The output from this is nearly identical to the above: ==================================== Unknown argument: -pdelaunch Buildfile: /home/pn3484/ws-ant-debug/org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.ui/build-org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.ui.xml plugin_export: BUILD SUCCESSFUL BUILD SUCCESSFUL Total time: 2 seconds ==================================== but at this time the launch is soon finished - and nothing is built. No messages, no hint that anything went wrong. Can anybody point me to log information or documentation on this. - The same failure if I start the build directly from the shell (see attached script). Eclipse succeeds in building nothing even faster (only 1 second) =============================== Buildfile: /home/pn3484/ws-ant-debug/org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.ui/build-org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.ui.xml plugin_export: BUILD SUCCESSFUL BUILD SUCCESSFUL Total time: 1 second =============================== So, can anybody give me a hand with this? It's pretty strange that it should not work and I don't believe that I am alone on the planet doing this :-) Thanks a lot ... Norbert
