How can I programmatically export a build.xml? [message #310006]

Hi,

I'm looking for any possible suggestion one may have for my problem

In my code I create a java project where I am importing sources from a jar
file. I add the necessary classpath entries and then I want to compile
using AntRunner
because I want to reuse the existing build file (that is contained in the
jar file). If the jar file was made within another eclipse, the references
to external jars are wrong (they are defined relative to the ancient
project from the other machine).

So, I need to programmatically (automatically) export the classpath
entries from my java project to the build.xml...

Any idea?

thanks for your help

Cristina

Christina,
PDE.Build will generate those build.xml files.
Consider for example, how PDE.UI does the export: It uses an
org.eclipse.pde.internal.build.BuildScriptGenerator to generate scripts,
and then it runs them.
See
org.eclipse.pde.core/org.eclipse.pde.internal.core.exports.F eatureExportOperation.doExport.

Regenerating the entire build.xml will be easier than try to just
replace the classpath. But if you are interested, the classpath entries
are computed in
org.eclipse.pde.build/org.eclipse.pde.internal.build.builder .ClasspathComputer3_0
