Hi,

i wanted to export my Xtext Project ...
For that i used the following guide: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Xtext/GettingStarted#Deployment

I tried exporting it to a empty folder and to a clean eclipse application folder. Both times i got the following thing ...

While he is exporting i got the following error message:

D:\workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.pde.core\temp\org.eclipse.pde.container.feature\assemble.org.eclipse.pde.container.feature.win32.win32.x86.xml:88: The following error occurred while executing this line:
D:\workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.pde.core\temp\org.eclipse.pde.container.feature\assemble.org.eclipse.pde.container.feature.win32.win32.x86.xml:103: The following error occurred while executing this line:

D:\workspace\de.xtext.project.ide\build.xml:362: The following error occurred while executing this line:
D:\workspace\de.xtext.project.ide\build.xml:437: Problem: failed to create task or type apitooling.apigeneration
Cause: The name is undefined.
Action: Check the spelling.
Action: Check that any custom tasks/types have been declared.
Action: Check that any <presetdef>/<macrodef> declarations have taken place.

Google and i doesnt really know what "name is undefined".
Does anyone of you got an idea what the problem is?

Thanks in advance! Smile

Hello Heinz,
PDE build script can't find api tooling tasks.
You need org.eclipse.pde.api.tools installed in your IDE.
Or disable "API Tools nature" in your project/-s.

Regards,
Dennis.

Hi Dennis,

where is it possible to disable "API Tools nature"?
I couldn't find this in the options oO

And are there any disadvantages if i disable this option?
