Hi all,

I have a job in Jenkins which builds a repository for a certain feature bundle. The primary plugin contains many Xtend 2 classes. As I did not commit the generated Java files into the Git repository I am trying to start the Xtend 2 build during this job. This should work by calling a certain class with the <java> ant command, like shown in this forum thread: http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/m/792243/ (which seems to refer to https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=342759).

To make the class org.eclipse.xtext.xtend2.compiler.batch.Main available there is a plugin named org.eclipse.xtext.xtend2.standalone. But unfortunately there exists no feature for it, therefore I installed the Xtend sdk instead (which includes the class, too):

./buckminster install http://download.eclipse.org/releases/juno/ org.eclipse.xtend.sdk


Which seemed to work fine so far.


Here is what I have currently configured for the build job:

buckminster.cspex:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<cspecExtension
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xmlns:bc="http://www.eclipse.org/buckminster/Common-1.0"
    xmlns="http://www.eclipse.org/buckminster/CSpec-1.0" componentType="eclipse.feature" version="1.0.0">
    <dependencies>
        <dependency name="org.eclipse.rcp" componentType="eclipse.feature"/>
        <dependency name="org.eclipse.xtext.xtend2.standalone" componentType="osgi.bundle"/>
        <dependency name="org.eclipse.xtext.xtend2.lib" componentType="osgi.bundle"/>
        <dependency name="org.aopalliance" componentType="osgi.bundle"/>
    </dependencies>
    <actions>
        <!-- trigger Xtend2 builder -->
        <public name="compile.xtend.classes" actor="ant">
            <actorProperties>
                <property key="buildFile" value="build.xml" />
                <property key="targets" value="compile.xtend.classes" />
            </actorProperties>
            <properties>
            </properties>
            <products alias="destination">
                <path path="dummy_output/" />
            </products>
        </public>
    </actions>
</cspecExtension>


build.xml:

<project name="project" basedir=".">
    <target name="compile.xtend.classes" description="Compile Xtend 2 classes to Java classes">
        <echo>Compiling Xtend 2 classes to Java classes</echo>

        <java classname="org.eclipse.xtext.xtend2.compiler.batch.Main">
            <arg value="-d"/>
            <arg value="xtend-bin"/>
            <arg value="src"/>
        </java>
    </target>
</project>



The job execution results in the following error:

[ant] Compiling Xtend 2 classes to Java classes
[ant] Could not find org.eclipse.xtext.xtend2.compiler.batch.Main. Make sure you have it in your classpath


So I guess that I have to reference the classpath somehow:

        <java classpathref="mycp" classname="org.eclipse.xtext.xtend2.compiler.batch.Main">


But how can I find out the correct class path? How to specify the headless Buckminster environment or the target platform for that?

Or is my approach already wrong and I must use some jar files to make the Xtend class known?

This whole problem expresses that I obviously never did really understand yet how custom ant task are configured properly within Buckminster.

Thanks for any help.

Merry Christmas to all of you!

Axel

So we want to use this Solution: http s://plus.google .com/109977816718694007083/posts/5qPnSXUFRF8


I added launch --stderr --stdout -l "org.zikula.modulestudio.generator.build/XtendCompiler.launch"
to the buckminster commands.

But our Problem is: How do you get the class on the Classpath? Add an plugin dependence? Add the jar manual via buckminster command?

I've just published a blog post with the steps to trigger Xtend compiler
with Buckminster

hope this helps :)
