wtp Ant Install Script ?? [message #79364]

The Web tools platform has a page which describes how to use an ant script
to install all the necessary add-ins.

Unfortunately, for someone who is installing eclipse for the first time
the instructions are not adequete and Begs the following questions:

Here is the offending web link:

http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/index.html

Here is the offending statement:

Now that you've successfully obtained all the zips in the downloadPath
folder, we need to extract the jars from those zips and put them into the
plugins that require them. You can do this manually, or you can run an ANT
script that would do this for you automatically.

ANT Script - the ANT script fetchVendorContent.xml is found in the Web
Tools CVS module org.eclipse.wtp.releng. This is how you run the script:

ant -DlocalDownloads=downloadPath -DbuildDirectory=<Eclipse plugins
directory> -f fetchVendorContent.xml

Here are my questions:

1) Does ant come pre-installed with the eclipse build
2) The above looks like a command line invokation , is there an eclipse
gui way to do the above ??
3) If ant is installed in the eclipse folders how do I find access and use
it ??

Hi Stephen,

>1) Does ant come pre-installed with the eclipse build
Yes.

>2) The above looks like a command line invokation , is there an eclipse
gui way to do the above ??
Yes. Import an Ant build file into an Eclipse project, right click on it
and select Run->Ant build.

>3) If ant is installed in the eclipse folders how do I find access and
use it ??
See 2.
