Hi All,

I have a plugin source and I would like to build it automatically by the command line.

I don't know how to do that, is there someone that can give me the different steps for that ?

Thanks,

Laurent

One way is to use the PDE headless build. See http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-PDE-Automation/automation.html or http://www.eclipse.org/pde/pde-build/.

Thanks,

I have found this document.

Currenttly I have a problem. because I have generated the build.xml by right clicking on my plugin.xml and PDE Tools-> Create Ant Build file.

the default target is build.jars, but when executing this target I have only the classes of the plugin compiled but no jar generated. The target doesn't reference any <jar ant task.

An idea ?

Laurent

Thanks for your help,

In fact I have generated a build.xml by using PDE Tools -> Generate Ant build file

And when I execute it, it generate only a @dot directory with the classes compiled but not jar plugin.

I don't understand why.

Any idea ?

Thanks,

Laurent

in http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-PDE-Automation/automation.html use section 'Build headless'. To start create the files allElements.xml and build.properties from the templates mentioned in section 'Build phases'.

There is also documentaiton on this at http://help.eclipse.org/galileo/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.pde.doc.user/tasks/pde_product_build.htm
