ant in external vm [message #99086] Fri, 26 September 2003 07:32 Go to next message

Hi,

I have downloaded version 3.0 M3 and want to try out
running ant in an external vm, so that my relative paths
can be found.
I thought that using external tool, and there JRE
chosing alternate JRE would do the job. But nothing happens.
If I use java, instead of javaw I see the window pop up,
wait some seconds and disappear without a line written to it.
So, I guess I have some more steps to do. In the help files
and internet I did not find a hint.

Can someone help?

Thanks, Heike

Anything written to the .log file?
Have you tried a simple buildfile that you know works?
For a separate VM you will need to ensure that Xerces JARs are included on
the Ant runtime classpath.
(I think we had the feature in M3 of the "Update classpath" button on the
JRE tab...make sure to use this).

Please provide the exact detailed steps of what you have tried.

Thanks for the quick and right answer. It really was this
newby error, not setting the classpath correct.
It runs, but still in the eclipse directory. Can you give me
some more newbie advice, on where to set the directory ant
should start running in?

Thanks, Heike

You are working with a work in progress (the Eclipse Ant in external VM
support).
We have improved the warnings etc to help newbies like yourself when setting
this up :-)

In M3 you could not change the working directory of the external VM; it was
stuck as the eclipse directory.

I would propose you give I20030925 a try...it has the working directory
support on the JRE tab for the Ant launch configuration
(https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=42984)
