Thanks ahead if you can help: I want to use Ant to build my whole =
project (java & C++). To=20

prototype the c++ side I've created a 'hello' app and have created a =
build.xml for it. I debugged

it all outside of eclipse and then in eclipse was able to right click on =
the build.xml file and select

'Run Ant'. This, after a good delay, brought up a dialog that let me =
select the target and ran it.=20

Output from console is at bottom of this message. Great. =20

But now when I try to run the created binary in debugger, via a run =
configuration, I can not get

it to find the binary. In the Debug view, the "creat, manage and run =
configurations' panel gives

me a message "Program does not exist" message. Can't find a way to =
force it to look in that directory

and find the binary... Suspecting this is related to having to "make" =
the project before the debugger=20

can "see" it, I've tried to create a make target with Ant as the "build =
command" but I only get the below

message. Is there a way to drive the build with ant AND have the debug =
tool find it?

C-Build output:

Error launching builder (D:/ANT/apache-ant-1.6.1beta1/bin/ant all )

(Exec error:Launching failed)

Console output:

Buildfile: D:\eclipse\workspace\test\build.xml

help:

[echo] NMS test build file for Ant

[echo] The following targets are defined:

[echo] all - Compiles all .cpp files

all:

The way I've used ant with the CDT is to download the cpptasks jar file =
from ant-contrib.sourceforge.net and install it into the Ant runtime =
(Windows->Preferences->Ant->Runtime, or something like that, can't =
remember at the moment). I then create a Standard Make project and turn =
off all options on when make runs, since I want to run Ant, not make, =
but I want the other goodies from the CDT. I then create a build.xml =
file in my project and create an External Tools Builder, specifying it =
to be an Ant builder and point it at my build.xml file. Finally I =
specify the info for the 'cc' task and I'm rocking.

My hope is to create a set of plugins to better support Ant with the CDT =
and to support combined Java/C++ projects. Other things beacon me at the =
moment so we'll see, but if anyone is interested, please drop me a line.

Hope this helps,
Doug
