Building a java project programmatically [message #329335] Thu, 19 June 2008 14:38 Go to next message

Hi,

Im am writing some JUnit tests for a plugin. In order to test the
plugin, I am programmatically creating a Java project, specifying
required bundles and stuff in setUp(), and I am deleting the project in
tearDown(), in order to have a clean environment for each test.

Auto building is enabled, however, my tests fail, because building is
not yet finished, and thus, the full classpath is not yet available. If
I remove the project deletion in tearDown() all but the first test
succeed. This shows that the incomplete build causes my tests to fail.

How can I either wait for the automatic build to finish or
programatically force a build?

You may want to disable autobuild, and build explicitly, e.g.
ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace().build(IncrementalProjectBuild er.FULL_BUILD,
null);

You can look at the JDT tests for examples of what you're trying to do. A
good starting point would be the org.eclipse.jdt.core.tests.builder project;
look for BuilderTests.java and TestingEnvironment.java. There's probably a
lot of code in there you don't need, but you should be able to find examples
of everything you do need.

Doesn't work yet. My relevant code looks like this:

public static IProject createProject(final String projectName,
final List<String> srcFolders,
final List<IProject> referencedProjects,
final Set<String> requiredBundles,
final List<String> exportedPackages,
final IProgressMonitor progressMonitor) {
try {
IProject project = null;
progressMonitor.beginTask("", 10);
progressMonitor.subTask("Creating project " + projectName);
final IWorkspace workspace = ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace();
project = workspace.getRoot().getProject(projectName);
final IWorkspaceDescription description =
workspace.getDescription();
description.setAutoBuilding(false);
workspace.setDescription(description);

if (project.exists()) {
// Clean up any old project information.
project.delete(true, true, new SubProgressMonitor(
progressMonitor, 1));
}

final IJavaProject javaProject = JavaCore.create(project);
final IProjectDescription projectDescription =
workspace.newProjectDescription(projectName);
projectDescription.setLocation(null);
project.create(projectDescription, new SubProgressMonitor(
progressMonitor, 1));
final List<IClasspathEntry> classpathEntries =
new ArrayList<IClasspathEntry>();
if (referencedProjects.size() != 0) {
projectDescription.setReferencedProjects(referencedProjects
.toArray(new IProject[referencedProjects.size()]));
for (final IProject referencedProject : referencedProjects) {
final IClasspathEntry referencedProjectClasspathEntry =
JavaCore.newProjectEntry(referencedProject
.getFullPath());
classpathEntries.add(referencedProjectClasspathEntry);
}
}

projectDescription.setNatureIds(new String[] { JavaCore.NATURE_ID,
"org.eclipse.pde.PluginNature" });

final ICommand java = projectDescription.newCommand();
java.setBuilderName(JavaCore.BUILDER_ID);

final ICommand manifest = projectDescription.newCommand();
manifest.setBuilderName("org.eclipse.pde.ManifestBuilder");

final ICommand schema = projectDescription.newCommand();
schema.setBuilderName("org.eclipse.pde.SchemaBuilder");

projectDescription.setBuildSpec(new ICommand[] { java, manifest,
schema });

project.open(new SubProgressMonitor(progressMonitor, 1));
project.setDescription(projectDescription, new SubProgressMonitor(
progressMonitor, 1));

Collections.reverse(srcFolders);
for (final String src : srcFolders) {
final IFolder srcContainer = project.getFolder(src);
if (!srcContainer.exists()) {
srcContainer.create(false, true, new SubProgressMonitor(
progressMonitor, 1));
}
final IClasspathEntry srcClasspathEntry =
JavaCore.newSourceEntry(srcContainer.getFullPath());
classpathEntries.add(0, srcClasspathEntry);
}

classpathEntries.add(JavaCore.newContainerEntry(new Path(
"org.eclipse.jdt.launching.JRE_CONTAINER")));
classpathEntries.add(JavaCore.newContainerEntry(new Path(
"org.eclipse.pde.core.requiredPlugins")));

javaProject.setRawClasspath(classpathEntries
.toArray(new IClasspathEntry[classpathEntries.size()]),
new SubProgressMonitor(progressMonitor, 1));

javaProject.setOutputLocation(
new Path("/" + projectName + "/bin"),
new SubProgressMonitor(progressMonitor, 1));
createManifest(projectName, requiredBundles, exportedPackages,
progressMonitor, project);
createBuildProps(progressMonitor, project, srcFolders);
workspace.build(IncrementalProjectBuilder.FULL_BUILD, null);
return javaProject.getProject();
} catch (final JavaModelException e) {
Log.logError("Java Model Exception", e);
} catch (final CoreException e) {
Log.logError("Core Exception", e);
} finally {
progressMonitor.done();
}
return null;
}

What's wrong?

Hmm, looks pretty good to me, though I didn't do a line-by-line comparison
against the JDT test stuff.

Can you say more about the failure you're getting?

For the benefit of others who chance upon this thread, can you say what you
did to fix it? (Was it just a bug in your code, or did you find a
workaround for an Eclipse problem, or ...?)

So, how did you fix it?

I also wanted to create a Plugin project programmatically.

I finalized two approaches and took the first one for my case:

1) Create all the contents manually (manifest file, source folders, build.properties, .classpath, etc) following this blog :
I followed these links:
ProjectWizard
and
Eclipse Helper

2) Use Eclipse PDE CORE PROJECT API

Example of this code usage is here:
SampleProjectSupport
SampleProjectGenerator
ProjectGenerationHelper


I did not try the second option yet, but it looks more promising since it is Eclipse API.

Tilak
