You have to write a taskdef with a 'classname' attribute.

thanks!

I set taskdef by using

<taskdef name="pde.exportPlugins"
classname="org.eclipse.ant.core.antRunner"/>

BUILD FAILED
D:\NFCProject\ANT\build.xml:54: taskdef class
org.eclipse.ant.core.antRunner can
not be found

My goal is to make Eclipse plug-in by using ANT not from eclipse export
wizard.
is there any other solution for this.

look for the project http://www.pluginbuilder.org/
and some tutorials on pde-build (for example
http://rcpquickstart.com/2007/06/06/getting-started-with-pde -build/)

The pde.exportPlugins task needs eclipse to be running in order to work,
it is essentially doing an export from the workspace (which is slightly
different from a headless build).

To use it you will need to start ant using the eclipse antrunner:
eclipse -application org.eclipse.ant.core.antRunner <ant command line>
