Hi,
I'm quite a noob with Buckminster and I can't get it to work properly. I hope someone can help me.
I have a custom builder that has to be configured. For this I do
import '${WORKSPACE}/org.erlide.site/site.cquery'
importpreferences -F '${WORKSPACE}/org.erlide.site/erl.epf' -S 'instance'
but only the java files are getting compiled. The configuration seems to be ok (checked in .metadata). Autobuild is enabled too (I suppose the java files wouldn't get compiled either if it wasn't).
What I would like to get is the log output from the "normal" eclipse execution, but -consoleLog doesn't give that. Is it possible to obtain that log? Or is there some other way to check out what the custom builder does?
I'm using Eclipse 3.5 if that's interesting.
Thanks in advance!
best regards,
Vlad

Hi Vlad,
The autobuild will always be disabled when you run headlessly. You need to issue a build command explicitly after the
imports to make it happen.
If some builders that you have listed in the .project file fails to run, then that might be caused by them having UI
dependencies and thus, being disabled. The Eclipse External Tools builder is one of those. If the objective is to call
on Ant using that, then you can use Buckminsters own ant launcher. It works headlessly. It's described in detail in the
documentation: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/tools/bu ckminster/doc/BuckyBook.pdf (chapter "Part
II. Buckminster" -> "Components" -> "External Tools Builder".

Thank you for the answer, Thomas.

I set it to true in the preferences the I am importing. Isn't that enough? If the Java projects are getting compiled, it should be set, right?

I thought about that, too. The plugin implementing the builder has no UI dependencies. I even tried to tweak the target definition to exclude the ui plugins, but they seem to be installed anyway.
No, it's not an external tool, it is a builder implemented by a plugin. Actually, it's exactly the plugins that I am trying to build, just an older version.
Thanks for the help!

Buckminster will actively set the autobuild flag to false, regardless of
your workspace settings. So issuing a "build" command is definitely
required.

Please note that the builder must be installed in your Buckminster product.
It is not sufficient to have it in your target platform. That's similar to
your IDE: In order for your builder to execute, you must install it into
your Eclipse IDE.

Thanks a lot, it works like a charm!
However, I have a related question: I tried to add checkstyle and findbugs, so that I can get those reports in my Hudson build. Buthe the features contain UI plugins and can't be installed... The question is: is it possible to install UI in a headless buckminster, or how do I get it to work? Do I have to install a separate eclipse with the full sdk, and run that instead? It feels clunky...
best regard,
Vlad

Hi Vlad,
Great to hear that you are making progress! Regarding Checkstyle and
Findbugs, you may be able to install the plugins (not the features) using
the p2 director instead of buckminster's install command. I don't know if
anyone has tried this, so I'll be happy to hear about your experiences.
