[ATL] Running an ANT file with java [message #58327]

Hello everybody,
I don't know if this newsgroup is the correct place to post my problem, but
I will try.
I have an ANT script (build.xml) that executes several ATL transformations.
I want to run that build.xml file from java, but I don't know how. I have
tried with:

Process proce = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c
"+ant_home+"/bin/ant -buildfile
c:/eclipse3.3/runtime-New_configuration/Plugin/src/plugin/po pup/actions/build.xml ");

InputStream is = proce.getInputStream();

BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader (new InputStreamReader (is));

String aux = br.readLine();

while (aux!=null)

{

aux = br.readLine();

}

}catch(Exception e){

System.out.println("Error: "+e.getMessage());

}

The problem is that only the first sentence in the ANT file is executed, but
not all the script. Why?

Any idea?

Thank you very much in advance

Bea

Hello,

Examples of running ant scripts from Java code (more specifically from
an Eclipse plugin) are available in AM3. See the ActionAnt... classes in:
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.gmt/AM3 /org.eclipse.am3.ui/src/org/eclipse/am3/ui/action/?root=Tech nology_Project

Note that this implementation has one flaw though: the ant console is
not displayed.

As far as I know, the AM3 ant tasks have not been adapted to work
outside of Eclipse yet.

Regards,

Frédéric Jouault

Hi,
I have been looking the webpage but I don't know what variable correspond to
the ant script.
Could anybody tell me where I can find the ATL API? or help me with the java
code?
Thank you in advance
Bea
