[platform-ant-dev] Using org.eclipse.ant.core.antRunner with XML logger

[Gunnar Wagenknecht <G.Wagenknecht@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi!

Is there a way to get a detailed xml log output when using Eclipse
AntRunner?

I'm trying to establish some kind of build process on top of cruisecontrol
with our developed plugins. The easiest way to compile our plugins is to
always generate the build.xml files. Thus, they are always up-to-date. But
this can only be done from within an Eclipse session because of special ant
tasks provided by the Eclipse PDE.

I to generate the build scripts for features/plugins I simply start the
"org.eclipse.ant.core.antRunner" application.

"eclipse -nosplash -data some/dir/buildworkspace -application
org.eclipse.ant.core.antRunner -Da.property=avalue -buildfile abuildfile
atarget"

Now I want to attach the "org.apache.tools.ant.XmlLogger" to this process to
get a xml log file.

I tried using "-logger ... -logfile ..." and "-listener". When the build
begins I get some exceptions.

Any Ideas? Should I fill a bug entry?
