Re: [platform-ant-dev] Run Ant with an external file !

["Darin Swanson" <Darin_Swanson@xxxxxxx>]

As I have stated previously, AntAction no longer exists in the current code
base (I believe it was an "internal" action).

Is there any reasons you cannot move to the latest builds?  Otherwise
whatever implementation that you come up with will not work with later
builds of Eclipse.

I would still recommend using org.eclipse.ant.core.AntRunner as this class
has changed the least between 2.0 and the latest builds and it will work for
external files.

Hope this helps

We no longer have a class called AntAction so it  would be best to start
with which build you are using?

You have two mechanisms open to you:
Have a look at the org.eclipse.ant.core.AntRunner  directly or even better
use the launch configuration framework.

<<this assumes you are on a relatively  recent integration build>>
I would start by looking at the AntLaunchShortcut  class and see how it
sets the attributes on a launch configuration that are  required for the
launch. Then make use of  DebugUITools.launch(ILaunchConfiguration,
String).
You should not use the  AntLaunchShortcut class directly but rather use it
as an example on how  to do the correct thing in your code.
