In Eclipse while creating the new Java Project (with our own custom wizards) I have associated a new builder to the project. Now the created java project has JavaNature and two builders associated with it.

org.eclipse.jdt.core.javabuilder
com.company.project.custombuilder

The .project file contents looks like this.

<buildSpec>
<buildCommand>
        <name>org.eclipse.jdt.core.javabuilder</name>
        <arguments>
        </arguments>
        </buildCommand>
    <buildCommand>
        <name>org.eclipse.ui.externaltools.ExternalToolBuilder</name>
        <triggers>full,incremental,</triggers>
        <arguments>
            <dictionary>
                <key>LaunchConfigHandle</key>
                <value>&lt;project&gt;/.externalToolBuilders/com.company.project.custombuilder.launch</value>
            </dictionary>
        </arguments>
    </buildCommand>
</buildSpec>
<natures>
    <nature>org.eclipse.jdt.core.javanature</nature>
</natures>

I have to automate the building of this eclipse project. If it is simple Java Project i can export the project as Ant Script and run the corresponding build.xml from ant. Now my question is : What are the different possibilities to automate my custom builder? Any clues will greatly help me.

Thanks in Advance.

If I understand your problem correctly, here are couple of ways.
1. Expose your custom builder through an Eclipse command line application - http://wiki.eclipse.org/Adding_a_helloworld_headless_command_(Buckminster) and run this command line application through the ant script.
2. Create a small command line application which will just open the project and call IProject.build().
