Re: [wtp-dev] Exporting WAR and EAR files from scripts
|
Hi Grzegorz!

Sure:
http://help.eclipse.org/ganymede/index.jsp
Enter "headless" in the Search box.
This will (among a couple of others) lead you to these links:
http://help.eclipse.org/ganymede/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.jdt.doc.isv/guide/jdt_apt_building_with_apt.htm
http://help.eclipse.org/ganymede/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.pde.doc.user/tasks/pde_build_advanced_topics.htm
What I have a hart time understanding is:
Many of the talk about a headless build is either about building Plugins
or about other features which are probably used more seldom than just
plain Java apps or webapps.
I spent a significant amount of time on lots of Wiki pages and Newsgroup
discussions and I have been following quite a number of dead ends. For
example, there is something which is called the "Galilo Builder", but it
does not build any software (as in compiling, jaring, etc.) but it
assembles a consolidated update site from binary artifacts which live on
a number of update sites which are spread over different URLs.
Also a number of technologies / Eclipse sub-projects come your way while
searching, such as
- Buckminster (also comes in the special flavor Buckminster Headless)
- Amalgam
- Releng
I mean, I know, Eclipse is a huge Ecosystem, so it's normal that it's
not so easy to navigate. But my problem right now is that every question
I ask (or even others ask) about this remain unanswered. Even an
educated answer of someone who knows these stuff better than me, saying
"what you try to do cannot be achieved because ..." would make me happy.
After all, it should not be impossible to start the Eclipse platform,
use Buckminster to resolve and materialize some Dynamic Web project from
some SVN repository, then call the project builders to build it (up to
here I can make it work), then call the WAR export task to drop a WAR
file into some directory.
And I really wonder why that subject does not even seem to be
interesting for a lof of people here. It it really so much fun to
maintain Ant build.xml files in parallel to your Eclipse project setup
or am I missing something *very* obvious?

Torsten

Hi Torsten
I didn't know this functionality (building Eclipse projects in headless
mode). Can you send me some links
to documentation about it? I cannot find it. Thanks in advance.

Hi all!
My question is so basic, I have a hard time believing to be the first
one to ask. But I failed to find a good answers.
I am developing and interactively testing Dyanmic Web Projects in
Eclipse.
Now I want to export deployable archives. There is the Export WAR file
... menu item in the IDE, which does just that, and quite well.
But is there any way to have a WAR file exported from the command
line, for example, in a headless environment. I can build my workspace
by starting Eclipse headless, but it won't export my WAR file. At
least, I haven't found out, how.
Would I have to duplicate my projects settings into an Ant build.xml
file to archieve this?
Does anyone have anything better.
As a bottom line, I would like to be able to have Eclipse build a WAR
(and possibly an EAR) file for me, for example, as part of a
continuous integration process (think Continuum, Bamboo, etc.)
Regards,
Torsten
