We have a large number of (big) Java packages. These packages need to be

as possible. At this moment we use JBuilder for the maintenance and the
compilation of all the packages (all dependencies, the classpath etc. is
stored in a JBuilder project file for each package; JBuilder provides the
option to build a project using these settings without starting the IDE). We
have a compilation script that checks the packages out of CVS, and builds
them using JBuilder (and all configuration options for each package as
defined in the JBuilder config file for that package).
We are thinking of using Eclipse instead. But, no matter where I look, I
cannot find examples on how to build an Eclipse project without starting the
Eclipse IDE.
Is there a way to do this? If so, how?
Thanks in advance,

Hi, Arno :
You could customize build.xml that Eclipse provides and
make a script that runs ANT in a command prompt. See ANT
site to see how do that.

In Ant you can read e.g. classpath dependencies from an external properties
file. We use this at my company to customize a standard build file and read
version numbers, package names etc. from external files. We actually use 3
files (where one is optional) to build:
1. build.xml (the actual build script) - kept in CVS
2. project.properties (holds system name, version etc.) - kept in CVS
3. custom.properties (allowing individual developers to override some or all
of the settings from build.properties) - NOT kept in CVS
This gives a very flexible build environment that can be tailored by the
individual developer if need be without customizing common settings such as
version numbers etc.
